Tossing cabers and slinging rocks in the Highlands of Scotland got me here. You see, us Scots are always the underdogs. Whether it’s fighting the English in the marshes of medieval Scotland, or playing Brazil in the world cup (soccer, naturally), no one expects us to win. But win we do. How? We’ve got Brave Hearts!  How did a wee Scottish lassie play on an all-boy’s rugby team, or go on to compete in ITU races around the world as a professional triathlete? Because no one told me I couldn’t. Are you ready to find your BraveHeart?

I’m Lesley Paterson, a professional triathlete and coach. Based in San Diego, California, I offer individualized coaching programs for triathletes of all levels. Together with my husband, Dr Simon Marshall, we also offer BraveHeart Brain Training -- customized plans to help you overcome race nerves, build motivation and confidence, and develop in-race mental toughness.
