Missy Franklin’s mindset

Missy Frankiln, swimmer 19 years old, 4 golds to al world championship and 6 at London has won the Laureus World Sports , a foundation that cares to integrate through sport by those who live socially disadvantaged. Her psychological profile is clear from the interview to Emanuela Audisio published by LaRepubblica.

  • Before the start – “I get excited , I say finally. I live for that moment, otherwise you train to do?”
  • Competitiveness – “I like the fight, fight until the last drop of energy.  I am born for sport, maybe I would have chosen the basketball.”
  • Sports Extra Life – “I enrolled at Berkeley in psychology … I want to make a freshman, missed the program of the washing machine, eating junk at the bar, having a roommate. Like all normal girls: I get married, children and a family.”
  • Fun – ” If you talk about sacrifices, I shot. I have fun and I chose swimming, in fact I drove my mother, who does not know how to float and she is afraid of water.”
  • Mental preparation – ” I do not need a psychologist. Since four years I’ve found God and at the end is that win or lose, I feel loved. And I say to myself: God will be proud of me. For this reasn I keep this in mind even those that seem small moments and in the future will become great.”
