The one difference between your life, and that of an Olympic athlete, and I do hope you do have one) is that younger athletes in training have very little personal time. They sacrifice a great deal to achieve their dream. Hopefully, you have a personal life, and your dream is to have a great life and make a difference in the lives of others.
Then, you will have achieved personal and professional success!
