By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

When Cate Campbell<\/strong> swam at the Pan Pacific Championships in Tokyo last month, it was \u201ca dream week in the pool.\u201d<\/a> She won five gold medals, swam the second-fastest time in history in the 100 free and recorded historic splits anchoring three different relays to the top of the podium.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I hit the water, it was just magic. I can\u2019t really tell you why that happened,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to lie\u2014it felt really, really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Campbell knew to be careful with success\u2014to not let herself scrutinize her races and convince herself she should have been better, to not let her accomplishments \u201cworm into being part of my identity.\u201d She had been there and done that\u2014and the aftermath was not pretty.<\/p>\n

By now, the story has been retold ad nauseum. Campbell went to the 2016 Olympics as a heavy gold-medal favorite in two individual events and came up well short both times. With little else to fall back on, Campbell was devastated.<\/p>\n

\u201cSwimming had become my whole world back in 2016,\u201d she said. \u201cIt happened very slowly, but by the time we got to Rio, I had very little else in my life that I could draw joy from or draw perspective from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell admits that like most human beings, she likes being praised. She assumed that she was liked for her abilities in the pool\u2014and the medals she won for Australia\u2014so her ability to perform became her measuring stick. So after the Olympics, she considered herself a failure. Everywhere she looked, she saw criticism of her performances and even of her personally.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone with a mobile phone and a Twitter or Instagram or Facebook account can add their comments, whether they should be commenting or not,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n

Finally, after reading about her Rio collapse over and over for two years, she decided to speak up. In early September, Campbell published a note on the website \u201cExclusive Insight\u201d<\/a> aimed at a group she called \u201ckeyboard warriors.\u201d Why had this faceless, anonymous group come after her? Campbell called it \u201cTall Poppy Syndrome\u201d\u2014that is, \u201cwhen a poppy pops its head above the rest, it\u2019s fair game, and you want it to be brought down.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Campbell\u2019s eyes, sports fans are inspired by underdog success stories, but once consistent excellence is established, jealousy kicks in.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of being inspired by them and going up to their level, you take any opportunity to bring them back down to your level,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cAt the slightest stumble, you\u2019re like, \u2018Ahh, they\u2019re not that great. I\u2019m going to bring them back down to my level.\u2019 It\u2019s easier to bring somebody down than to push yourself and motivate yourself to be better.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Campbell penned her letter to convince not only others but also herself that she actually deserved some credit for what happened at the Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was coming to grips with the idea that just because at one moment in time you didn\u2019t stand up and live up to everyone\u2019s expectations,\u201d she said. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t make you a failure. I think that more than anything else, it was me coming to the facts that, \u2018Yeah, I didn\u2019t perform the way that I wanted to, but I still had merit, just because I went and tried.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

After the Olympics, Campbell had to remind herself that no one wins forever, in any sport. So with that in mind, why should she attach so much of her self-worth to the digits that showed up on the scoreboard at the end of a race?<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to learn to go back and see qualities in myself that I\u2019d never had to look for before. \u2018Who was I worth?\u2019 and \u2018Was I worth something outside of the swimming pool?\u2019\u201d Campbell said. \u201cIf I attach my self-worth and identity to something that isn\u2019t lost in hundredths or tenths of a second, that is enduring.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Campbell became one of the world\u2019s top sprinters and then spent nearly a decade in that position, she became aware\u2014too aware, perhaps\u2014of how much her races meant to Australia and to her sponsors. She began to fear competition and worry about the results instead of reveling in whatever challenge the race posed. She would spend too much time thinking about her competition and become intimidated.<\/p>\n

But finally, Campbell realized that it\u2019s easier and more enjoyable to stand behind the blocks without worrying about any of that. Campbell knows that whatever time she swims, whatever medal she wins, none of that will affect how she feels about herself when she leaves the pool at the end of the night.<\/p>\n

So that was her plan of attack at Pan Pacs: Don\u2019t worry about what anyone else will do (including American rival Simone Manuel<\/strong>, who Campbell called \u201cone of the most impressive specimens to ever walk this Earth\u201d). Have perspective. Think about what makes swimming, even after 11 years of racing on the international circuit, seem so exhilarating.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always been that one thing that I\u2019ve seen a really direct correlation between hard work and results,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s seeing how much better you can be, how much harder you can push, that I find really exciting, even still.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, the primary reason Cate Campbell is still swimming is not to win an individual Olympic gold medal. Yes, she would love to win one, to add to her collection of two relay golds, but she now knows she could live without one. There\u2019s more to her life. Right now, in fact, swimming is just a small piece of her daily routine.<\/p>\n

After Pan Pacs, Campbell resisted the urge to jump back into training while she carried all her momentum from Pan Pacs. Instead, she has been swimming just two to three times per week, with an additional two to three gym sessions. Meanwhile, she has gotten her first taste of the working world\u2014an experience in the communications department at the Queensland Rugby Union.<\/p>\n

The instincts of an elite swimmer point against taking an extended break, particularly with less than two years before an Olympics, but Campbell knows that right now, patience is a must. She took a hiatus a year ago, skipping the 2017 World Championships, and she came back in all-time best form at Pan Pacs. A perceived lack of fitness one day doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s worth scrapping her carefully-constructed plan.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of 2018, she will ramp up her training again, with an eye on the 2019 World Championships and the 2020 Olympics\u2014which would be Campbell\u2019s fourth and she insists her last. But still, she won\u2019t be all-in right away\u2014that\u2019s the plan she and longtime coach Simon Cusack<\/strong> agreed to with eyes on the long-term.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s about having good life balance\u2014keeping busy outside of the swimming pool,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cIt\u2019s about doing things on the weekend that I enjoy, like hiking or kayaking or anything that\u2019s outdoors, and allowing myself to go and do those things with the knowledge that on Monday morning, I am going to be a little bit tired and a little bit sore, but that\u2019s okay.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, when it is closer to competition time, that is when I probably cut back on those things and focus more on swimming.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In January, she will move away from Brisbane for the first time\u2014a move she insists would have happened years ago if not for swimming\u2014as she follows Cusack to Sydney. There, she will train for one final long-term goal, a goal not as simple as one particular result in 2020.<\/p>\n

Sure, she would love to make another individual Olympic final or two, but the actual results of those Olympics won\u2019t feel as important to Campbell. She won\u2019t let success or failure be judged on races lasting less than a minute.<\/p>\n

\u201cI now know that that I can be content without an individual Olympic gold medal, having been in the position where it was probably most likely to happen, and it hasn\u2019t,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cI know that life goes on, and I\u2019m perfectly content without it. I think it\u2019s about being in the best shape, in the best frame of mind and in the best physical shape possible for 2020 and really allowing myself to enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
