When we see professional sports people performing on the biggest stage, we often revel in their ability to execute, despite the pressure of the occasion. Whether it be a professional athlete winning a gold medal at the Olympics, or an AFL player kicking a clutch goal to win the game after the siren, it is easy to get caught up in the excitement of the moment. It is also easy to overlook the volume of work that goes into being able to perform in that moment. Athletes are incredibly disciplined when it comes to fine tuning their craft, and they invest thousands of hours in their preparation for those moments of truth. Success does not come by accident.
