Many, if not all of you, are enjoying watching the 2016 Olympics that have been going on in Rio de Janeiro for about a week. And led strong performances by Michael Phelps, Lilly King and Katie Ledecky, the US Olympic swim team is dominating the world with seven gold medals as of this writing. So I think it’s safe to say that the U.S. swim team is having a pretty good Olympics.
We all know that years of hard work, training and competition go into developing Olympic champions. But the competition is fierce and often the difference between winning a gold medal and not winning a medal at all can be very small So Olympic competitors are always looking for a mental edge, something that can make a difference an put them over the top.
