The Confidence Journal by Laura Wilkinson
Olympic gold medalist and world champion diver Laura Wilkinson released her newest project this week: The Confidence Journal.
The mother of four who nearly made the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in platform diving at the age of 43 explains,
“This started as a little PDF that I am proud to have turned into a full-blown beautiful and impactful journal.
Becoming a confident competitor begins and ends with your mindset. Not your parent’s mindset, not your coach’s mindset, not your team’s mindset, but your mindset. Your attitude, perspective and responses come from you and you alone.
One of the things I’m passionate about is helping athletes learn how to understand and change their own circumstances. Many grow up being told what to do and handed all the tools. And that will get them to a certain point, but if they never learn along the way how to handle their emotions, attitude, perspective and difficult situations, it’s nearly impossible to break through to that next level and in fact, could have very negative and long lasting impacts.”
