I find Chris's story really inspiring 💥

OLYMPIAN Chris Cook urged students to set their sights high as they think about their future, as he visited a secondary school.

Post-training diner done for my meat eaters Athletes (Dad went to the gym and the girls did their evening 2h swim session each):
My simplified version of Beef Massaman (Flavoured with Massaman paste, ginger chicken stock and tamarind) finished with black beans in their own juice.
Saskia ate first, gave her only a small portion of the beef on the side as she was certain it would taste 'disgusting' ... now she wants a second serving ! 😂😂😂 🙏💪😎

Finally, a mum's message to her daughter for today:
Stay on a high positive vibes and energy all day
Be grateful and excited about every little things that happens
Find good things in everything even mishaps.
Remember everything little & big things you have achieved up to now and be grateful & energised by them.
Visualise each race with perfect starts, perfect speed, perfect finish and as if you are winning them.
Be thankful & loving towards the water that is going to boost your speed for each of your race and push you forward when your legs/arms are burning.
Thank each part of your body that is individually working at its best to help you win each race.
Good luck today my darling and enjoy! 😘😘😘
