1
I have a saying where I say I train like I've never won and I compete like I've never lost.
2
Say that again.
3
That is so good.
4
I train like I've never won and I compete like I've never lost.
5
And that's important because A, I find it's difficult to win, but it's way harder to stay there.
6
And for me, you know, now through two
7
Olympic cycles and also so much happens between age 18 and 22, like staying in peak form during
8
that period of your life specifically as a woman is very
9
very difficult from my last olympics to now i went through
10
all of college like i was a high school grad
11
and now i'm a college grad and that's just two different people um
12
so that's one the second thing is it keeps you hungry
13
and that's what allows you to perform over time the third thing is in order to be a winner, you have to have this like insatiable,
14
almost like obsessive, religious, just like all in mentality when you compete.
15
But because it is so intense, you cannot sustain it always because that's what creates really dangerous egos.
16
It's what creates the like hubris and overconfidence and complacency that undermines good training, because you have to be very critical of your own training.
17
For me, I see only my mistakes when I'm training.
18
I can never do anything right.
19
Like every single thing, I'm like, oh, you know, I'm two degrees off on that.
20
Oh, I was like a second early.
21
Oh, look at my upper body.
22
I was like three degrees, you know, whatever.
23
That's all I think.
24
But when I'm competing, you need to make the switch.
25
And I'm like, I am the best person who has ever stepped foot here.
26
Nobody's even going to touch me.
27
Everyone's competing for a second.
28
Doesn't matter.
29
That's it.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
