General

Athletes who manage and cope well with travel perform better and can focus and support their
teammates in difficult situations during competition. The key areas in preparing for departure
include training, relaxation, diet, and making a physical and psychological switch to the intended
destination. It is essential to be organised and ready.

Now, more than ever, it is very important to ensure you are taking extra care of your health and
wellbeing and monitoring these prior to departure. Juggling the demands of school/work, training
and social commitments is challenging. Ensure that with the support of your family and home
coach, you are looking after yourself, to be in the best possible shape leading into the Games.
