Apolo Ohno Makes Olympic History
Last night Apolo Ohno set an Olympic world medal by winning his 7th gold medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.
During one of the interviews before the record breaking event, Apolo revealed one of the secrets to his success. He commented about how he has obtained the laser-precise focus that has allowed him to win medals in THREE different Olympic games!
Apolo has been skating since he was a young child. But he wasn't always this serious about being one of the top skaters in the world. His focus came when his father challenged him to set some life goals.
As a teenager Apolo's father took him to a cabin and told him to think about a GOAL that he would dedicate his life, mind and soul to. Something that he would sacrifice himself for. After 8 days alone in the cabin, Apolo called his father and told him he wanted to take skating seriously.
This turned out to be a good choice for Apolo, because he has now entered the history books as one of the greatest athletes ever!
What Can We Learn From Apolo?
To become truly great at something, we need to focus on being the best. Apolo's decision to become great at skating only began on the 8th day alone in the cabin. Since then he has spent 12-15 years intensely focused on achieving that goal. He's been dedicated to winning, no matter what the cost!
