"Spending an inordinate amount of my time watching the Olympics has allowed me to pick up on certain themes. One line that came up regularly during athlete interviews was “I just need to trust the process.” After a race or competition, athletes would mention that in the four years leading up to the Games, it was important for them to “trust the process.” If they were sore after a particular heat and needed to get ready for future races, they would also indicate that it was important for them to “trust the process.” Readers may be wondering “what is the process, why should it be trusted, and what makes this line so meaningful?”
While my athletic career was brief, peaking with a short stint in college, I suspect that the “process” is referring to an athlete’s detailed training regimen that enabled them to become a world class performer. This likely includes a variety of important elements, including how to practice, when to train, how to rest and recuperate, what to eat, how to stretch, and how to mentally prepare. Even when they are feeling physically exhausted, mentally drained, and occasionally frustrated at their progress, the key is to trust that the detailed, personalized program they are following will ultimately lead to success. Having faith in a proven system of preparation helps athletes through challenging times and leads to continued improvement."
