Services offered:
Will Murray is here to support you to get the most out of one of your biggest physical attributes – your mind.
Will has worked with more than 300 athletes, from Olympians and U23 national champions to beginners and is the mental skills coach for d3multisport in Colorado and has worked with the six-time national champion University of Colorado, Boulder triathlon team.
Will is a USAT All-American, a seven-time Ironman finisher and a USAT Level 1 coach, with a youth triathlon coaching certificate and a specialty in mental conditioning. He has a practitioner certificate in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and more than 120 hours of advanced NLP training.
Will has adapted and developed specific techniques to help athletes enhance their comfort and performance in any situation from open water, recovering from bike crashes and other disasters, finding extra resources for difficult training sessions and races, and eliminating fears, phobias, body image issues and pre-race nervousness. These techniques are fast, easy, effective and durable. Even better, they are immediately testable, enabling the athlete to detect real results right away.
With the right approach, the needs of many athletes can come to complete resolution very quickly. Many athletes are surprised to see their sometimes-lifelong issues melt away, after trying many other techniques. Because these techniques are fast and testable. Will is often able to help the athlete with complete resolution in a single session. Many athletes then want a second session to address other issues, once they see how effective these techniques really are.
Sessions are generally best done over skype. Let your coach know you would like to be in touch with Will and if you would like them to be privy to the details and results of your session.
Investment:
A session (typically 45-65 minutes) is $125. If you do not gain complete resolution of your issue, the session is free. You will receive an invoice from Will directly.
Some Publications:
Will is co-author, (with Craig Howie) of The Four Pillars of Triathlon: Vital Mental Conditioning for Endurance Athletes and the author of Uncle! The Definitive Guide for Becoming the World’s Greatest Aunt or Uncle. He has published several pieces in USAT Multisport Zone, Training Peaks and other venues.

An Insight:
Murray, Will. (2016). Quelling open water swim discomfort. https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Triathlon/News/Blogs/Multisport-Lab/2016/February/02/Quelling-Open-Water-Swim-Discomfort
Athlete support:
Sports training, repetitive movements and postures can lead to muscular imbalances and performance inefficiency, even injury. A functional approach looks at coordinated muscle contractions and recruitment patterns for effective, long-term movement management. A screen for triathletes was developed to identify muscular imbalances and retrain the body/brain connection for proper movement patterns, which becomes a way to train long-term, rather than a short-term solution or quick fix. Think of a persistent “tight” hip flexor that stems from poor glute or abdominal stability and how that can force the body to “work around” the issue leading to injury rather than addressing the root issue and optimizing movement efficiency.
What to expect at the initial screen:
Please arrive wearing athletic attire (shorts, tank top/sports bra) for best comfort during the screen, which will be approximately 45 minutes. The screen consists of 5 key movements to assess coordination of mobility, alignment & stability. These being:
Squats
Intent: Assessment of hip, ankle and lumbar mobility and alignment.
Step down
Intent: Insight to single limb strength, stability and balance (important since running is a series of single limb stance)
Intra-abdominal pressure regulation test
Intent: Identify abdominal recruitment patterns (abdominal coordination
Quadruped – hands and knee position
Intent: Assess hip mobility and spinal stability with movement
Sitting hip flexion
Intent: Simulate bike position with pedal stroke; assessment of spinal stability with hip movements
In addition, muscle length assessments will also be conducted. An exercise program will be devised based on your screen results. Parts of the screen may be videotaped with your consent for learning within the session. It may also be included in the screen PDF write up.
What to expect at the follow up session (3-4 weeks after the initial screen):
This session takes 30 minutes. This gives you time to work on your exercise program, note any improvements from the initial screen, and ask any questions regarding progress.

Cost: normally $250, discounted to $200 for NDURUS athletes
