What does every Olympian strive for? “The Goal”, of course! What is that elusive goal? Well, to every Olympian, it's something else, but it all requires them to “Do the Work,” with the help of their individual “Greatest Coach Ever.”
One of the most important aspects of “How to Be a Winner,” is to “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway,” and that means conquering your fears head-on. Some may have a fear of failing. Some may have a fear that they don't truly belong. But with a “Healthy Dose of Motivation” from their coaches, teammates, and families, there's no stopping #TeamUSA now.
Here are some practical tips from here at 3Leaf Group – because we, obviously, feel qualified enough to give the world's best athletes a bit of advice. Have a fear of talking to the press? “Public Speaking Superstar” is a fantastic listen that will make them confident, no matter how many cameras are shoved in their face. Not enough creativity in your routine? Perhaps “Cirque du Soleil: The Spark” can offer some originality. And if perhaps the pressure of the entire world watching them is possibly starting to get inside their head, might we suggest “The Beginner's Guide to Yoga” to calm their nerves.
Michael Phelps would learn “How to Stop Worrying” about Le Clos and his other competition and focus on his goal. “Gabby” Douglas could use the “Power of Now” to stay present and in the moment on the uneven bars in the All-Around Finals. Kerri Walsh-Jennings could use the “5 Love Languages” to connect with April Ross and pound the competition. We know they have it in them.
One thing is for sure: with hard work, dedication, and an entire “One Nation” backing them and cheering them on, these Olympians were surely “Born to Win.”
