Week 7

For week seven I thought I would do something a little different. All this time I've been talking about the affects of training for the Olympics, but today I read an article about tips while training. Shannon Happe is a three-time Olympian so she has been through the whole process. She gave us 10 tips to make sure the training goes well. We all know that training requires a lot of focus. Shannon said that personal goals help you stay focused and on track. In order to maintain a mental health you should always believe in yourself more than anyone else does. Have a little confidence. Fear can be what makes you or breaks you. If you can't overcome doing a triple front flip or a steep height while skiing you won't go anywhere in the training.  Where all the stress comes in you should realize that relaxation is just as important as achieving your goals. Physically, staying hydrated, sleeping, and eating a balanced diet are important to the way you think. In the end yes, there are a lot of affects that come into play while training, but there are ways to find the good in them. The link to the article: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/231297
