Athletes who compete in the Olympics don’t just make it on natural talent; they get there because every day they put in the hours of training needed to make it to the international level. If your goal is to qualify for the Olympics, you will have to dedicate yourself completely, centering your days around gym time and training. Training involves not only spending time practicing your sport and strengthening your body, but also getting used to competing in high-pressure situations and becoming mentally and physically as strong as you can be.
