Have You Heard Our Olympians Using the “F” Word?
That’s right…a few of our gold medal winning athletes at the 2012 London Olympics have used the “F” word on national television!
They’re talking about how much FUN they’re having performing and how much they’re enjoying themselves.
On August 4, I heard an interview with Michael Phelps and he said, “When I first got here (in London), I was too intense. Then, I just started smiling more…I started smiling and enjoying it.”
And, after that shift he won a gold medal and then he won a couple more.
Swimmer Missy Franklin talked about how she didn’t come into these games with any expectations about medaling. Her goal was to get closer to her teammates and enjoy her experience.
It’s no coincidence that an athlete talking about having fun is a gold medal winner.
I invite you to follow in the footsteps of some of our gold medal winners and start having fun again with your performance!
