Olympic cross-country ski champion Veronica Stepanova in her column on , she wrote that athletes must necessarily and constantly learn something new that has practical application.
At the end of last season, Stepanova won the overall ranking of the Russian Cup and also became the best in the long-distance race standings. At the end of the summer, the 23-year-old athlete posted a photo on social media next to her crib and announced that she was preparing to become a mother and would therefore miss the upcoming season.
— We train 5-6 hours a day, plus mandatory recovery procedures — massage, stretching, etc. The standard mode for an athlete in the early evening is to lie down and go to sleep. All you feel is just tired, you don’t want to do anything. I think the vast majority of athletes recognize themselves in this description. By the way, it turned out that in this regard the life of a professional athlete and the life of a pregnant woman are very similar, ha!
If you don’t push yourself, don’t force your brain to turn on, when the body is at rest, there is no development, degradation sets in gradually.
Almost all of my fellow athletes understand this and try to learn something practical. We all have a fear called “what will I do when I stop skiing (skating, swimming, etc.)”. Therefore, almost everyone tries to master a new profession. Online courses are our everything. But there is a big problem here. You’ve taken some wonderful courses, for example, in nutritional science, what next? How to “go to work”, how to find clients, how to flaunt your assets while training at Top of Thea?
Running your own blog, podcast or feed is much more convenient. All you need is the internet and the will to win. That is to say, conquer a new audience without leaving the hotel room. At the same time, writing columns and speaking live is not just about expressing thoughts to the audience in a chaotic manner. It is always an attempt to find the right words to organize a discussion on a particular problem. Suggest something new. And of course, this is an analysis and analysis of errors and shortcomings, especially after the broadcasts,” Stepanova wrote.
