For Women's singles, Serena Williams took the gold, leaving Maria Sharapova with the silver, and Victoria Azarenka with the bronze. As for Men's singles, Andy Murray won the gold, Roger Federer, the silver, and Juan MartÃn del Potro, the bronze. All of these matches proved to be brutal, but each athlete showed phenomenal effort in playing to the best of their ability. The fact that they were playing in the Olympics helped me to see that hard work definitely pays off, and what you give, is what you get.
Another method to improve my motivation for summer training, is creating multiple playlists of music that can help me 'get in the zone' to work hard. Since music has such a massive influence on my life, I find it a very beneficial tool when I am in need of inspiration. I am including artists such as The Killers, Marina and the Diamonds, Passion Pit, Vampire Weekend, and many more.
Last, but not least, I will be eating healthier, to make it easier on my body to endure lengthy training sessions every day. I will focus more on proteins, fruits, and vegetables, and keep my meals more balanced.
From these three ideas, I hope to gain a heightened sense of motivation when it comes to tennis. I look forward to a summer of achievement and improvement, and a successful season ahead.
