Mental fatigue impacts our perception of effort which will in turn decrease our mental and physical capacity. The higher our perceived effort, the less access we have to our physical and mental reserves. No matter how well trained or elite we are. This therefore creates a detrimental knock on effect to performance. Additionally, it has also been shown that mental fatigue decreases prefrontal oxygenation which will also limit our capacity.

You could have the best physical prep in the world but if you are not looking at conditioning the brain appropriately, you are leaving a lot on the table.
