Wholesale Nike Flex Cheap .Its now more than a month after the finish of the Rio Olympics and Ive had time to reflect on my efforts in what was a bitter-sweet experience. I was obviously upset about how I performed; I definitely trained and competed a lot better before the Games. I gave it my all and I guess I cant be too disappointed with myself, but it was tough not achieving my goals.If Im being honest, I think the pressure did get to me.In the 100m backstroke final, I wanted it so badly and I put so much pressure on myself to take home gold. I just tried too hard. I overdid the race, whereas when I swim at my best, Im confident and in control.Tactically, I put in too much effort too soon. When I race at my best, I go out easier and come home stronger so tactically, it wasnt what I would have liked. I thought I had to do more than what I probably needed to do at the time. In lane 1, I didnt know where the pack was. It was so hard and I wanted it so badly, and I sacrificed not sticking to my race plan because I wanted it so much.Pressure is a funny thing. Being my third Olympics, I thought the pressure wouldnt be so bad this time around. But it just goes to show that it doesnt matter how much experience you have; once you get there, its almost an even playing field, everyone can win.Thinking about my Olympics experience, its made me realise that athletes, myself included, probably dont train their mental skills hard enough compared to physical training.When I was younger, it was all about just training hard -- thats all you needed to worry about -- but now that Im older, its not just that. I think its where I can improve the most. Every time I swim, I wonder about what I can improve on and Im at the point where I dont know what else I can do, because I train so hard and always give 100 percent.So where do I go to now? I think its reasonable to suggest that its not always about who trains the hardest physically; its more about whos got the mental strength to do it.I know there was a lot of talking about the Australian team under-performing, but I think thats unfair. Our main goal was to improve from London and the whole Australian team was super proud of what we achieved, because we beat what we did in London. I was so proud to be on the team; a few didnt quiet achieve the results they were after but we all put in our best and I know I was able to enjoy the moment over there.I definitely felt like I had a bad meet, but I still got hugs from everyone and it was really special, and I thoroughly enjoyed the team, probably more than I have for the past few years. Our team spirit was great; wed worked hard on bonding together since London. Were all so competitive that its hard to be too friendly with everyone but it was fantastic to get away together and cheer each other on.So where to now?Ive got plenty on to keep me busy and focused in the short-term, but Im not 100 percent sure that Ill get to the Tokyo Games in 2020. Im committed for the next two years but from there Ill see how I feel and how my body is feeling.If I swam at Tokyo, thatd be 12 years in the sport; Im not sure Id be able to commit for another four just yet.Rio was an amazing place, but as an athlete, I didnt get to enjoy the city and its attractions as much as a tourist is able to. But, I watched a lot of sports when I got some spare time: equestrian, basketball, athletics; it was fantastic to watch those sports, but the village was so far away that some places were really difficult to get to. But I did tick off a few bucket list items such as Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer, which were amazing. Ill have to get back to Rio one day without the pressure of competing and experience the rest of what the city has to offer!
