With the Summer Olympics in Beijing about to begin, I have been thinking about what makes an Olympic athlete. I’m fascinated with the way Olympic athletes seem to build “the perfect storm” of mental and physical excellence and how they time it perfectly for the Olympic Games.
This year there seems to be a lot of attention on “older” athletes. As a 40-something, formerly competitive athlete I’m inspired to see so many athletes defying the aging process. Athletes are all about training for their performance at the Olympics. You too can be inspired to improve your personal fitness performance.
