Mental Prep: Before the Beep with Melanie Margalis<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Olympic gold medalist Melanie Margalis<\/strong> turned 26 in December. She plans to live to 100, so she recognizes that this professional swimming career of hers is a fleeting\u00a0stage of her life\u2014one that she plans to squeeze the most out of, but \u201cnot the end all, be all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margalis is a 2014 graduate of the University of Georgia, and she should serve as a mighty inspiration to post-graduate swimmers out there. Yes, she was a strong swimmer in her collegiate years, but her talent has blossomed in the years after.<\/p>\n

Margalis shared with\u00a0Swimming World\u00a0<\/em>her mental preparation leading up to a big meet, including what she does at the hotel, during warm-ups, in the ready room, and behind the blocks!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
