Thank you comment icon Yes, Olympic athletes can feel nervous because they compete on a global stage with millions watching. No, it’s not weird because they train for years to perform under pressure and are focused on doing their best. Sir Flyer

Dr’s Answer

Hey Justine! Being an Olympic athlete is like being in a superhero movie—except instead of fighting villains, you’re battling gravity, speed, and your own nerves. Okay so are they nervous? Well, absolutely. Imagine training your whole life for one moment, knowing millions of people (including your grandma, your neighbor, and that one kid from school who never liked you) are watching. No pressure, right? But once they step onto the field, track, or ice, the nerves turn into adrenaline, and suddenly, they’re in the zone.
And yeah, being watched by the entire world is a little weird. It’s like being on a giant reality show, except instead of arguing over who left the dishes in the sink, you're trying to break world records. But Olympic athletes train for this—both physically and mentally—so by the time they compete, they’re ready to embrace the moment.

Plus, like really, the free gear, global fame, and chance to eat unlimited pasta in the Olympic Village kinda make up for the stress. Don't you think? 😉
Good luck Justine and let me know if it helped or did I actually miss something 🤔!
Thank you comment icon Tank you for your answer Dr H!But wath sport do you do? Justine
Thank you comment icon Justine, you are very welcome! I love and do volleyball, basketball, horse riding, and archery—if that counts (because technically, the target does all the running). Not gonna lie, I’m not a pro athlete, but I can pull off a trick shot or two... unless the ground decides to betray me. I also played football for a bit, but let’s just say my nose had other plans—it kept volunteering as a goalie when I never asked it to. Dr H
Thank you comment icon Great answer, Dr. H! It’s fascinating how athletes turn nerves into adrenaline. Plus, mental preparation is just as important as physical training—visualizing success can help athletes stay focused under pressure! Sir Flyer

Bright’s Answer

Being an Olympic athlete is a mix of intense preparation, pressure, and excitement. There's definitely nervousness before competing, as the Olympics are a huge stage, but athletes train for years to handle that pressure. While it’s a big deal and everyone is watching, many athletes find motivation in representing their country and showcasing their skills. It can feel surreal to be in the spotlight, but the passion for the sport often helps them focus on the competition rather than the attention.
Thank you comment icon Thank you! Justine
Thank you comment icon The mix of pressure and passion really shows how much dedication it takes to compete at that level. Staying focused on the sport itself is key to handling the spotlight! Sir Flyer
