Every gold medal takes years of dedication, training and focus. But it also takes a mental toll on every athlete \u2014\u00a0a toll most are not prepared to deal with. David Boudia<\/strong> opened up about the weight he went through before – he is part of several documentaries about Olympic struggles.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the toll comes before gold, whether it be a heartbreaking finish or missed opportunity. Sometimes it comes afterward with what has become known as an Olympic hangover or Olympic blues.<\/p>\n

Boudia is featured on an upcoming HBO documentary \u201cThe Weight of Gold\u201d that will be released July 29<\/a>, and will also be a part of a series called \u201cWhat Moves Me<\/a>\u201d on the Olympic Channel, which begins July 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor both of these projects, it is a little intimidating because both of these are about mental health and put myself in a vulnerable position. The biggest thing I wanted to do with this is let people know it is a common struggle,\u201d Boudia told Swimming World<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is such a misconception of athletes on the world stage and they are kind of up on a pedestal and people think they have everything they wanted, and that is not the case. The post Olympic blues are hard because athletes aren\u2019t sure what to do. I am thankful for Toyota and the Olympic Channel (and HBO) for wanting to tell my story.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For Boudia, the weight was the heaviest in 2008 when he made his first Olympic team and had hopes of medaling, but fell short of that goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even realize I wasn\u2019t enjoying the moments of the journey,\u201d he said. \u201cThe expectations you have at the Olympic Games that don\u2019t get met are shattering. I finished my last event in Beijing and I was crushed. Then you have the entire emotional roller coaster of what the Olympics actually are. You have the highest of highs at the Opening Ceremony and marching in with the best athletes in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen you have to go to work and for so many people it ends in heartbreak.\u201d<\/p>\n

After getting over that initial weight, which took a toll, Boudia was able to pick up the pieces and make a run at another Olympic team \u2014 then another.<\/p>\n

But it took time to realize he needed to lift that weight off of his shoulders.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was about valuing the journey. For me specifically, that was helped by my faith. About a year afterward is when the depression really set in. Suicidal thoughts pushed their way in. It wasn\u2019t until I started reaching out that I understood. The support was there, it was me not willing or feeling that I needed help,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can close my eyes and see what rock bottom was. It was September of 2009. I was sitting in my room at Purdue. I remember waking up from a nap and I pushed everyone away. Everyone went to a night football game, and I pushed them away and that is when the thoughts crept in. That scarred, but scarring doesn\u2019t define you when you push forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2012, he won gold on the 10-meter platform and bronze in the 10-meter synchro. He was the first American diver in 12 years to stand at the top of the podium at the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

In 2016, he won silver in the 10-meter synchro and bronze on the 10-meter platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest thing that I did approaching 2012 was planning for what life would look like after 2012 and setting up tiny goals to get there. My outcome goal was the Olympics and we had tiny goals to get there. When you break it up like that, it doesn\u2019t seem un-achievable and allows you to enjoy each moment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMindfulness training is huge in today\u2019s culture, and that is what athletes need to be doing. That is not to say you shouldn\u2019t dream but it should be a good balance,\u201d David Boudia said. \u201cLife looked a little different going into 2016. After the 2012 games, I got married. In 2014, we met our first daughter. Life looked dramatically different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Boudia, and his wife Sonnie, have three children: Dakoda (5), Mila (2) and Knox (1). David said starting a family helped his mindset more than he could have imagined.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is almost easier to train with three kids than with no responsibilities,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is two different worlds. I go in and get my job done at the pool. Everything stays at the pool and then I go home and be dad. The balance and perspective is even more going into 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic postponed the games for an entire year.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can look at it one of two ways,\u201d David Boudia said. \u201cYou can be dragged down by it or see it as an opportunity to get that much better toward your goals. Every athlete is in this position, whether they are back yet or not. We have to put a ton of work in to get back in shape and be ready for this. But the hardships in attaining the goals make achieving them that much sweeter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
