For Adam Peaty<\/strong> mental resilience means being prepared for any scenario or in his words \u2013 \u201cbeing a victor not a victim of the environment”.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old is unbeaten over 100m breaststroke in a long-course pool since making his international debut at the 2014 Commonwealth Games<\/strong> in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

Since then the Briton has been crowned Olympic champion and become the first breaststroker to claim the 50-100m double at three consecutive World Championships, setting a new world record of 56.88 last year in Gwangju, South Korea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peaty\u2019s domination is absolute with Ilya Shymanovich<\/strong> the second-fastest in history over two lengths but trailing in his slipstream in 58.29.<\/p>\n

Central to the athlete is mindset, something he has developed over the years, and the pursuit of perfect balance and peace of mind which has led him to have the word \u201cequilibrium\u201d tattooed on his left arm under the Olympic rings.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Cejih Yung<\/strong> on a CG Sports Network<\/strong> webinar \u2013 \u201cA Fireside Chat With Adam Peaty\u201d \u2013 the swimmer said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWith any race and any world record, I\u2019m in a special place. I\u2019m not really on earth. It sounds stupid but I am really not in this kind of dimension.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be so in connection with your mind, body and soul and everything has got to \u2013 not be perfect \u2013 but you\u2019ve got to drill into kind of being adaptable and overcome anything and nothing\u2019s going to stop you.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened to me in Rio was I got on to the bus \u2013 I accepted that I was nervous and it\u2019s just a normal feeling and I controlled those nerves.<\/p>\n

\u201cGot to the pool and was nervous, definitely the most important race of my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t going to let that control me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was going to be a victor not a victim of the environment I was in.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peaty has been coached by Mel Marshall<\/strong> since he was 14 with as significant an emphasis on mental health and wellbeing as physical training.<\/p>\n

He will have to wait an extra year in his bid to become the first British swimmer of the modern era to successfully defend an Olympic title with Tokyo 2020 postponed until July 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

He described those stepping stones that are negotiated in the build-up to a Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really comes down to what you\u2019re thinking I\u2019d say three months before an Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cSlowly building on those blocks as we go closer to the Games and becoming even better and better and faster and faster.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally the last few weeks are probably the most important time where you can find that relaxation and balance, give yourself some peace. For me everything has got to be good at home, just have that perfect peace of mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call it equilibrium: that\u2019s why I\u2019ve got it tattooed under the Olympic rings. You need a lot of balance.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peaty applied this mindset again in Gwangju when difficult conditions ranged from humidity through a small preparation area to intense heat offset only by one air conditioner.<\/p>\n

He explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Korea was challenging but this is why I invest so much in myself. I invest so much in my mental resilience because I could easily have become a victim of the environment that I was put in.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I was like you know what I\u2019m prepared for this kind of scenario. Even if it was 10 degrees hotter I could still do it, if it was 20 degrees hotter I could still do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s having that mental resilience and going \u2018okay any scenario I am put in I can be successful\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the mindset I\u2019ve had for the last five years: I\u2019ve never been a victim. Nothing can touch my mindset because I\u2019ve built on it and you become so resilient that the environment doesn\u2019t matter, just the lane that you\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking to his world record, he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you dive in you\u2019ve got to be in a mindset where you\u2019re at peace with yourself, you know exactly what to do. I never take more than three things into a race and then I respond to my environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the first length it\u2019s settle into that stroke rate, get the wall on a perfect touch \u2013 which I did \u2013 turn and then I have a very slight look around and I can\u2019t really see anyone but they\u2019re going to have it now.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you unlock that kind of adrenalin and you unlock that kind of composed, beautiful stroke but with a lot of emotion, a lot of anger – which I love – and then you go and break the world record I guess.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
