Manage episode 431303931 series 3461256
In this episode, we have 3 lessons on dealing with the pressure of the Olympic Games, taken from 3 separate guests who have appeared on the show.
First, we have Dan Wallace, former Olympic and World Champion swimmer, who shares his journey and mindset to get to the Olympics, and how he handled the pressure and crowd once he was there.
We then listen to Guy Learmonth, multiple Commonwealth Games 800m runner (unfortunately just missed out on Olympics selection), explain how the noise from the crowd has such a significant effect on his performance and how he struggles to compete in smaller scale events.
Finally, we listen to Nick Symmonds, two time Olympian, explain how pressure affected him differently in 2008 compared to 2012 and how he learned to manage it more effectively. He also shares the mental struggles of training for something that is 4 years away.
Expect to appreciate the effect that pressure can have on athletes.
Expect to reflect on how you handle pressure.
Expect to understand how difficult it is to compete at the Olympics.
