In 2016, at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, Emily Diamond and her teammates stood on the podium after winning the bronze medal in the 4 x 400m relay. While the race to get there only lasted a few minutes, the journey started many months and years prior.
Ever since Emily took up athletics as a teenager, she has been focussed, dedicated and willing to make sacrifices in order to reach the top. Sprinting is a sport with incredibly fine margins, meaning that immense discipline, determination and motivation is required to ensure every millisecond is gained.
Sprinting is also hugely psychologically demanding, and in this episode, Emily explained in fascinating detail about the mental challenges of the sport and what goes through her mind during a race.
At 29, Emily has already achieved so much – she’s an Olympic bronze medallist, a European gold medallist, a World Championships silver medallist and a British Champion. Emily has started to use her experiences to give motivational talks at schools, inspiring children to participate in sport and pursue their goals, no matter how ambitious they are.
We are grateful to Emily for sharing her journey, and we enjoyed learning about the mental challenges of sprinting and what it really takes to become an Olympian.
