Welcome back on this podcast where every month I'm taking on a very special journey behind the scenes of my preparation towards Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Every month I'll talk about 3 topics related with personal situations that happened to me during the month prior, as well as thoughts and tips I used to help me get through it. What are the 3 topics we talk about in this first episode ? 1: How to mentally deal with injuries ? And more than that : how to deal with unforeseen situations that are (very) bothering? A : I consider things don’t happen to me, they happen *for* me. B : I asked myself « what are good things this unforeseen situation allows me to get ? » 😄 ask yourself « how is this situation allowing me to grow ? What are new things I can learn and practice thanks to that situation ? » 2: How to feel confident when you have to be good / to perform at important situations? A: Remember past difficult situations similar as the one you’re going through that you succeeded at overcoming. B: Find a way to get into your own zone. 😄 Don’t just get ready, stay ready. 3 : How to feel calmer and decrease your stress level during anxious situations? A: Focus on one or two simple tasks.
