## Caption

Today marks 20 years since I won the World Championships in Montreal. 🇨🇦🥇

What you won’t see in this highlight clip?

I completely blew my second of five dives, dropping me in the standings.

What you might notice?

I never lost my smile. Never lost my focus. Never lost hope.

I’m not some magical optimist.

I’ve actually lost a whole lot more than I’ve won.

But what changed the game for me?

👉 Learning how to stop a downward spiral.
👉 Learning how to talk to myself (in a way that worked for me).
👉 Learning how to redirect my thoughts, stay present, and perform my best under pressure — while actually enjoying the moment.

Now? I help athletes do the same.

If you’re ready to compete with confidence (not just train hard and hope for the best) start by finding out your competitor type.
