What athletes are saying
I concentrate on preparing to swim my race and let the other swimmers think about me, not me about them.
Amanda Beard
Before the (Olympic) trials I was doing a lot of relaxing exercises and visualization. And I think that that helped me to get a feel of what it was gonna be like when I got there. I knew that I had done everything that I could to get ready for that meet, both physically and mentally.
Michael Phelps
Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, a vision.
Muhammad Ali
Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.
George Herman “Babe” Ruth
I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability.
Bruce Jenner
My thoughts before a big race are usually pretty simple. I tell myself: Get out of the blocks, run your race, stay relaxed. If you run your race, you'll win…channel your energy. Focus.
Carl Lewis
Visualization was the key to my success.
Jack Nicklaus
If you don't have confidence, you'll always find a way not to win.
