What Do Olympians Do


What Do Olympians Do

It starts with a dream.  They don’t think about the gold at first.  They just want to stand on the podium at the end and hear their anthem and celebrate the cheers of their country.

They expect pain, and overcoming injury.  They listen for the 3:30 AM alarm,
even on Sunday’s, so they can gain a better edge. 

They play mental games with themselves.  They imagine their skill at its peak.  They feel the wind, they sense the turns and the twists, the jumps and the landings.  They visualize every second of their performance, and they haven’t even gotten out of bed yet.

They leave parties early, they avoid foods that don’t benefit their bodies, they eat and drink as part of their strategy.  They practice mindfulness in the smallest of details.

They choose!

What is your sport?  Growing a business, writing, singing, playing drums?  Maybe it’s time to do what Olympians do.

Maybe!
