This part of the blog I will go through some more components required to be a successful hurdler!
Articulate
The ability to be articulate whilst being a successful athlete is very important! It means that you can be able to speak well in front of people and negotiate with people.
Being articulate also means that you can be in front of cameras and media without freaking out!
Resilient
Resiliance is an important part of an athlete's life, especially in hurdles.It means you are able to recover and come back from something bad that happened; e.g. a bad race or an accident that involved a lot of bad media media coverage.
Sportsmanship
A hurdler needs sportsmanship to be a friendly and successful athlete. Showing good sportsmanship includes congratulating others even if you are the person that won; and not getting angry and frustrated if you lose, but congratulating the person that beat you!
Healthy Diet
A heathly diet enables the hurdler to perform to their best ability.
It is important that that hurdler gets enough energy from the food they eat to fuel their bodies whilst training and performing.
This is what world champion Sally Pearson usually has to eat in a day:
Breakfast: A bowl of cereal
Lunch: Salad sandwhich
Dinner: Meat and vegetables or meat and salad.
Other: Fruit for morning and afternoon tea.
