Elka Whalan on Her Olympic Mindset to Overcome Performance Nerves
If you watched the Tokyo Olympics and felt inspired but equally sick with nerves as the world’s top athletes step onto the blocks, ready to compete, well, this episode is for you.
I chat with Olympic-medal swimmer and speaker Elka Whalan who competed in the Sydney and Athens Olympics and is married to four-time Olympic water polo legend Thomas Whalan.
Elka shares the step-by-step process Olympians use before, during and immediately after a gold-medal swim that we can apply to our own lives.
Plus, how to create a winning mindset, because we’re playing the mental game every day.
And as Elka reminds us, when it comes to performance - it’s down to who can control their nerves the best.
