I really feel like that concept of enjoying the now and not worrying about the future is what my coach has been trying to teach me for 14 years - and that is what has made me such a different athlete 10 years later, and that is what has made me strong enough mentally to make this Olympic team.

An athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn't been there. Goals can be elusive which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding.

When I was working on the Olympic cookbook it was amazing to discover how different athletes need different types of diets.

Some sports such as sprinting are explosive so you need a diet that will give you the energy for that moment.
