“As an athlete, you have those indicators that you look at, you track, you want to gain confidence from – and those have been going very well. But it’s also that belief that this is going to be a really good year. We’re going to accomplish our goals. We’re going to give it our best and feel proud of whatever that ends up being.” Reigning Olympic Champion Val Allman and Coach Zebulon Sion join us live in Eugene after Val won the discus at the U.S. Olympics Trials and booked her ticket to Paris. Val breaks down the sequence of her throws at the Olympic Trials, shares about how she shifted her mindset after finishing second at the World Championships last summer, how she uses her competitors’ performances as motivation to elevate her own game, and what the next couple of weeks look like for her as she prepares for Paris. Coach Zeb shares about how he helped Val reframe pressure as a positive, breaks down Val’s discus technique, and shares about the improvements Val’s been able to make in the weight room. Hear more from Val, one of the best field eventers in history, in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.
