Imagine that you are a basketball player and your whole season comes down to the last foul shot for your team to win or you're in a downhill race and you need those extra .00025 second shaved off to take first place.
Imagine that you have dedicated the last eight years to getting yourself to this point.
Imagine that it's the final medal round in an Olympic event. You are almost there...you can imagine that gold medal around your neck...the anthem playing and your country celebrating you. The world is watching and it's you they' re watching... Imagine the pressure!
We've all been in situations where we want is on to perform our best, whether in sport or another pursuit like a music recital.
For Olympic and Paralympic athletes, achieving their personal best is very important. Focusing on winning gold is often what keeps them going. But sport is also about having fun and being the best you can be.
Find ways to love every aspect of the journey — and you're more likely to take home the gold!
