I just finished reading the book of Lydia Lassila, the women's aerial chanpion of Vancouver. I am especially interested in the part she was explaining about her work with a mental trainer.
"When I first started working with him was to imagine my future self. The parson I wanted to be. The person that had already won an Olympic gold medal nad he would get me to ask her for advice and basically have a conversation with her. I thought it was wierd at first, and my future self seemed very distant and far away, but I persisted. Periodically, I'd 'cheched in' with my future self and ask her if I was on track, and as time drew nearer to the Olympics, I felt like I was becoming her... the future self I wanted to be." (Lydia Lassila Jump, p. 177)
未来の理想の自分をイメージし、その人物と対話をしながら次第にその人物に近づいていく。
スポーツでも、仕事でも、何でもいい。自分のやるべきことで、どこまでやれるか試してみたい。ぎりぎりの環境でどこまでできるか試してみたい。
金メダルを取ったことに感動するのではなく、金メダルを取るために彼女がどのように日々を過ごしたに心を打たれる。
Thank you Lydia and good luck on your further journey to Sochi 2014.
