00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:32.640
M s b S, Hello Well, Comery Boy, Thin Special Tracks and
2
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:57.399
Walt to few t p s,
das Go The State, The Tracks,
3
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:07.120
Than n Ouren Fabulous Photographs. And
now I do want to welcome you to
4
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.760
this new episode of the first BMX
podcast in Spanish, in an episode that
5
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:17.599
is going to have a very special
guest before. I also want to thank
6
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:23.040
our sponsors, a ple Way Podcast
Network, a lew Uno bm X Club
7
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.840
in the two hundred thirty- five
north of the city of Bogotá. There
8
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.159
' s a lot of anxiety these
days. I' m telling you who
9
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.200
our guest is, because the World
Championship is coming. He spent the Pan
10
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.480
American Championship in Bogotá and the Latin
American Championship at that stop, in that
11
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:52.319
international race that took place on the
Carlos RamÃrez track, were about a thousand
12
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.079
registered runners. Obviously, the volume
of Colombia, quite strong and from many
13
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.000
countries that accompanied us in a career, was very important. I think it
14
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.640
can be a career for Latin America
after the World Cup. I think it
15
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.719
' s the most important race.
The organization was very good, what I
16
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:14.400
saw could not be there, but
I saw many happy faces, good organization,
17
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.560
a good show. So congratulations to
the entire Pan- American and Latin
18
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.319
American organization that took place in Bogotá, Colombia and today a guest who will
19
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:34.719
share very special things with us.
She has been and will remain a bm
20
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.960
X runner. That psychologist also has
a master' s degree in all these
21
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.879
topics that help us and that help
the runners to have better presentations to strengthen.
22
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:52.080
We not only strengthen the physical part, but the mental part. It
23
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:58.360
' s fundamental. So Natalia Salamanca, who is also very young and is
24
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:06.599
already quite intellectually prepared to help us, and I want to invite her and
25
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.800
greet her. Hey, Natalia,
how you doing. How are you doing?
26
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.960
Hello, Alejandro, how are you? I am very well, very
27
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:19.439
excited to be here, super super
happy to be able to share, from
28
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.319
my experience and also from the Academy, everything that I have been learning throughout
29
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.439
these years and, above all,
to be able to share with you that,
30
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.520
in the end is what I seek
not to give that knowledge that the
31
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.960
mind of mental training ceases to be
also something so far from reality. It
32
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.199
is part of a training as well
as the technical part, of the physical
33
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.479
part. Super super important and so
take advantage right now that is also very
34
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.599
booming. Now many of the things
that sound are trending. So everyone wants
35
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.599
to go that way, you have
to take advantage of it and definitely,
36
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.879
the science- based, sport-
based mental training is very booming and you
37
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.280
have to definitely do it. Makes
a difference what a thrill it is to
38
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.800
be here. Thank you so much
for the Natalia invitation. Tell us well
39
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.480
some of your experience as a sportsman
and now you are still a sportsman,
40
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:23.720
but as a professional in that training
of mental preparation. Tell us a little
41
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:30.319
bit about your profile and we come
in with several questions that I have for
42
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.800
you clearly yes, well as a
sportsman, I started very small. I
43
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.759
started when I was nine. I
got to the Mario Soto track, with
44
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.120
my mom, with my brother,
we saw the bic Cross track. There
45
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.839
were no girls and I want that
super animated, I want that sport and
46
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.800
there it started as my sports career. At first it was very, to
47
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.879
go around on the track, to
enjoy the weekends, but things went away
48
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.160
and then I started to like with
more discipline going more days during the week,
49
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:11.240
competing nationally, competing I also started
to compete outside. I did a
50
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.839
lot of things while I was in
the sport. I always needed, like
51
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.040
that psychological component, that part where
you start to regulate those emotions, because
52
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:27.959
you definitely get to a competition outside
and then you start. I don'
53
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.120
t have too much expectation on me. I have to win, which in
54
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.600
the end is the goal that most
people have when they go out or when
55
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.720
they compete in general, I have
to win and it is to put too
56
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.480
much pressure on them. Then I
had the good opportion ready. I'
57
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.720
m done with school. But during
school I was very, very focused.
58
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:55.560
I was already in a more professional
training, doing double gymnasium, track and
59
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.839
so on. In this case,
I already knew that I liked psychology and
60
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.319
was in the sport part. Then
I did not know how to unite them,
61
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.800
because at that time I had no
knowledge that there was a psychology based
62
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.079
on sport. But I, since
I mean, I really like this.
63
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.639
I entered the University in the two
thousand sixteen to study psychology at the University
64
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:25.759
of the Forest, and there,
I continued to study and in my sports
65
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.279
discipline was already what I tell you, training full full, because I was
66
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:38.959
already competing internationally. Then I had
a good level at the time. What
67
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.879
else does he tell you? Well, you' ve said a lot of
68
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.720
things and I' m gonna start
asking you why it happened to me.
69
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.439
It happened many times, it happens
less and less, but that first international
70
00:06:51.959 --> 00:07:05.399
race, why it costs so much
work and produces that theme is that it
71
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.639
is quite the topic that can be
drawn from it, especially because, well,
72
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.079
you have prepared a lot for that
type of competition, but everything is
73
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.800
based on the experience, as when
you are going to ride bike for the
74
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:23.959
first time you will not make it
perfect, then you should go to any
75
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:31.519
competition with very clear objectives and very
well structured objectives. If it is your
76
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:38.639
first international competition, why do you
put so much burden on yourself and rather
77
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.759
the goal can be to enjoy this
experience and do the best you can to
78
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:48.079
focus on things that are under my
control, because if I only focus on
79
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.879
the result, then the result has
a thousand factors on which a result depends.
80
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.199
It' s just that you,
more than anyone else, know that
81
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.560
you get out of the game and
you can go through a lot, a
82
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.480
lot of things, right, a
lot. There are seven more runners you
83
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:09.040
want, as well as when you
say what is in our control and what
84
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.879
is out of control, what can
be those things that are in control as
85
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.319
a runner and those that are not
can seem obvious to many, but many
86
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:26.560
people do not have the consciousness yet
to be able to determine. This looks
87
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.720
at factors that are within my control. There' s my technical part,
88
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.200
there' s my mind control.
Definitely nobody else depends on that. My
89
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.039
peace of mind is getting my things
ready. Let' s start on that
90
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:48.480
side, not having everything very smart
having to check my bike, having my
91
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.879
diet, having my fluids. Seen
on that side we have things that are
92
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.559
under ok now let' s go
to those that are out of my control.
93
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.879
I don' t control my coach' s expectations. That' s
94
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.000
not under my control and, above
all, for the kids. I don
95
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.799
' t control my parents' genius. Okay that' s one of the
96
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:16.399
things because then I' m going
to run is with the fear that if
97
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.080
I don' t do it right
they' ll give me right, that
98
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.039
you don' t control it.
This controls your dad and because it'
99
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:30.759
s the management that has to give
him ok ok You don' t control
100
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.799
the public, for example, that
can also play in some people for or
101
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.840
against that then the scenic panic that
they' re looking at me or I
102
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.399
' m there, that doesn'
t control him then. That' s
103
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.440
the thing. Let' s just
say what you say to some can be
104
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.159
obvious and for others it' s
completely understandable. We need to clarify that,
105
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.639
because we understand that many times one
happens is like because of that dread
106
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:03.840
and that I have to prove to
people that I am good, or I
107
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.279
have to prove to myself all that
I have been training I am going to
108
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.120
do in this race, and that
is putting too much weight on me.
109
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.639
It' s a weight that'
s unnecessary at the end, so more
110
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.080
or less of that. It'
s treated like that that' s inside
111
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:26.600
and outside of how there are some
tips or suggestions that you want to recommend
112
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:35.879
to us independently if they' re
going to be in a district, state,
113
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.840
Latin American, national, world championship, race is career, but yes,
114
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.279
why the attention is different, when
besides, it shouldn' t be
115
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.879
like that. They don' t
tell him no world championship race and already
116
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.639
one better said put the stick very
high. The attention is very high,
117
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.080
but they tell him it' s
not district championship and I don' t.
118
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.120
Ah well, yes, I don' t know how one does to
119
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.159
give respect to all races, because
any race deserves respect, just like the
120
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.559
runners we have next door, the
one standing in a match is because he
121
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:13.480
also pedals and also wants to win. What suggestions do you have to lower
122
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:20.240
your nerves? From the perspective that
you' ve studied psychological mental, I
123
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:28.039
don' t know if maybe eating
helps good practices and good ways to help
124
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:37.360
lessen that attention that you suggest good, initially, to structure goals that are
125
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:45.559
realistic and achievable. There is a
structure to be objective that is called a
126
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:52.519
technique called smart. Then the objectives
have to be specific, measurable, achievable,
127
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.200
realistic and have a date. So, a lot of times you get
128
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:01.440
a few goals just thinking about what
career I have you in two months.
129
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.000
So, for that race, my
goal is to sort out the finals It
130
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.399
' s good to know what career
it is and what your current level is.
131
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.759
So, there you start to evaluate
and you have to put yourself in
132
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.519
a position where smart is real that
I' m two months from now.
133
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.919
If I' ve been training for
five years and I' m at this
134
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.639
point, whether I' m in
two months, I can get to this
135
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:31.679
point. I mean, that'
s a matter of a long time,
136
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:41.840
very objective, realistic and within my
reach. Then I set myself some very
137
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.240
clear goals and in this way I
can be very landed when it comes to
138
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.519
a competition. Experience is now very
important as well. So, so you
139
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:56.720
say. All races are important.
Already there is a measure that is moving
140
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.000
forward in sport and becoming more expert
in sport, since one says already reaches
141
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:07.120
an international race, then it is
already a level of importance, perhaps a
142
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.639
little higher. But the child who
is in schools and so far is starting
143
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.120
to compete, because a district to
a festival is that high level of importance.
144
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.799
Cla is throughout the experience and one
is increasingly feeling much more confident,
145
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:28.000
much more calm. And a very
important part also that is actually like the
146
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.240
biggest subject of consultation that dads come
to me and is that my son doesn
147
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.600
' t trust him. It'
s like he trains very well, but
148
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.159
when he gets to the races,
he doesn' t run, he does,
149
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:45.720
he doesn' t give up,
he doesn' t do what he
150
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.519
trains. Then let' s go
from the experience with what I was saying
151
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.679
to you. No one, nothing
has been learned. Then one goes more
152
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.759
and more and practises and faces more
competitions, as I have more and more
153
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.919
tools to be able to perform better. But above all it is that I
154
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:09.320
can stand in that quiet partyer,
with enough maturity also mental and trust in
155
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:15.320
the process that I carry. It' s just that if I' ve
156
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.600
been training a plan to the letter, gym, food, rest, track,
157
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.559
repetitions and I' m aware of
that, because who' s going
158
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.720
to take away that trust in the
partyer now is different when I start,
159
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.879
it' s not that this week
I took their body to the gym,
160
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.279
like twice and last week I went
partying. Or there' s a lot
161
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:45.159
going on and obviously trust there is
starting to get unbalanced. Ok Wow for
162
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:50.440
the World Championship since two thousand twenty- four here in the United States,
163
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:56.799
exactly rock Hill, in North Caroline. It is a clue that many Colombians
164
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:05.480
already know and know. They come
from Colombia. That' s three hundred
165
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.320
runners. It' s a huge
number, which I' m very happy
166
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.960
about between the Challenger category and the
championship category. It' s a great
167
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.960
opportunity to shine. Colombia is power
in BMX and not only in sports.
168
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:26.519
Now I also say that it is
power in professionals like you Natalia Salamanca,
169
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.360
who are around the BMX and who
need it also to not go further.
170
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.519
The coach of the U S team
is a Colombian. Professor Germán Medina Fabio
171
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:45.240
Peña, the coach of the Colombian
team, was also a runner. So
172
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.080
I feel that more and more there
is a professionalization of bm X, of
173
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.240
which we must be more aware every
day and make the sport continue to grow.
174
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.399
And I' ve noticed it,
because how many years I' ve
175
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.799
been linked and scored and I like
it and I' m proud of what
176
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.240
you mean regardless of age, because
looking at the categories of Colombians that we
177
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.279
' re going to be in the
World Cup, you feel very happy to
178
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.600
see from the category from the smallest
in experts to the category of the greatest
179
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.720
and most experienced. I don'
t mean the biggest when and experienced when
180
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:30.080
they necessarily are the elites, because
after the elite and professional part, the
181
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:37.360
career can continue. But there are
people and there are runners who, when
182
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.600
they don' t feel that at
their moment in elite, they end their
183
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.840
professional life. But that' s
another topic and it' s a perhaps
184
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.080
deeper conversation. But I want to
ask you, or I want you to
185
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.159
tell me, tell me, because
I' m learning it too and I
186
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:59.080
need it. What suggestions do you
have for these runners that we go for
187
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:04.119
the World Cup, without important age
and category. Well, one of the
188
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.839
parts you commented on I' m
passionate about a lot, which is life
189
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:14.839
after the performance sport. It'
s a subject that can give us a
190
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.400
lot of things to talk about.
And I feel like it' s all
191
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.279
of a sudden, the least talked
about. But suddenly we can leave it
192
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.119
there in the inkwell, but a
little next. But, but, tell
193
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.640
me about any of that? Tell
me about it? Tell me about it?
194
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.319
That I just asked you if it
catches your attention because I want to
195
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:40.000
know other points of view. Of
course you' re ready to get to
196
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:45.880
a level with dreams and goals,
with a pretty long job and then there,
197
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.279
at that level it' s where
it starts. Okay ready, I
198
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.079
' m getting what I proposed at
that point, then I continue and so
199
00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.240
on, but it already reaches a
level or, already it reaches an age
200
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.519
where, definitely, because I can
no longer continue in this elite category,
201
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.279
not that of high performance sports life, it is actually very short. One
202
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.039
from a certain age no longer renders
in the same way, no longer performs
203
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:17.279
the same and that is not a
secret. But it does not mean that
204
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:22.920
then your sports life is over the
fact of being able to continue enjoying this
205
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.279
sport as a passion as something that
moves me, as something also social.
206
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.400
It' s just that we,
who' ve been doing this for so
207
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.039
many years, actually, these are
our friends. Yeah, I mean,
208
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.720
he doesn' t feel like friends
here. Family. There are people you
209
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.480
know from ten twenty years ago.
If that' s your case, it
210
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.680
was a lot of people who get
part of 20 years. Thank you for
211
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.559
saying twenty years. No. I
think a little bit more I' m
212
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:53.799
going to tell you I have we' re like a group of five,
213
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.759
six or seven, we' re
very close friends, but I think the
214
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.759
most legendary of friends I shared with
and still very active. In addition,
215
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.759
he was injured at the national level, is recovering and is coming for the
216
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:14.200
World Cup. Suddenly you know him
is called Santiago Ospina. So that'
217
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.440
s me, I' m forty- two. Thank you for saying it
218
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.640
from 20 friends, 20 years ago. I think that almost thirty or a
219
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:26.200
little more imagine yourself, but well, then, going back to what you
220
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:33.119
were saying, is that it seems
supremely interesting to me, because I have
221
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.799
noticed and not only in Colombia.
I remember a conversation I had with Maris
222
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.519
Strommers, a double Olympic medalist who
at the age of thirty, was still
223
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:52.440
very young, and said that after
the second Olympic Medal that year was very
224
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.480
strong, because after running World Championship
and well, he had season in the
225
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.519
United States and came one day to
the track and felt that he no longer
226
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:06.039
wanted, I already won everything,
what else, and I asked him he
227
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:10.160
said no, I don' t
want anything. More. I don'
228
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:14.000
t want to know anything else or
anything about this. Well, now he
229
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.559
' s a golfer and he'
s probably a level golfer, because he
230
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:22.440
' s an awesome athlete. But
I kept thinking why at the age of
231
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.480
thirty you are a very young person, still very young, Even at the
232
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.160
age of thirty, I am forty- two, I went through thirty and
233
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.559
at thirty I thought that I was
not so young and still a person too
234
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.720
young. At twenty, for you
are not speaking and at twenty- five
235
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.519
you are even better said. But
why it fails there, what happens.
236
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.720
We need someone to help us,
to guide us, to tell us,
237
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:52.519
to show us. But then I
don' t run elite anymore, so
238
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.039
my life is over here and I
feel like it' s a very strong
239
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:04.200
shock for these athletes what they'
re going to do next and you too
240
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.079
what you think about me. I
know it' s very difficult, while
241
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.200
you' re in a performance athlete, to be able to study, but
242
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:17.079
I' ve noticed that when the
performance race stops and they don' t
243
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:22.519
have an academic part in whatever it
is, no, what happens there you
244
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.559
think can be improved or sent a
message to help these kind of runners that
245
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.000
I see them, not just in
Colombia, everywhere, everywhere in the world.
246
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.519
There' s a lot of issues. Well, this can go in
247
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.240
two parts and well, yeah,
yeah, my memory gives me. But,
248
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:48.319
well, the first part is structured
to because when we get to that
249
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.240
level it' s over and I
don' t want to know any more
250
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.000
about this. And one ends almost
that I have fought with the sointe that
251
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:56.920
in the end it was a bit
in my case too, that I didn
252
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.839
' t want to know anything more
about bikecross I mean, I retired in
253
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.960
the two thousand nineteen and because I
came back from an academic exchange and took
254
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.200
my bike and in that year I
was preparing, because I had been preparing
255
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.119
for four years for national games.
And I came in the two thousand nineteen
256
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:15.759
and said no more and I didn' t go back to the track,
257
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:19.880
I mean, I didn' t
show up there again, I didn'
258
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:25.200
t want any more then at this
point that I already have much more knowledge,
259
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.839
I already have more experience where I
can already say in a more accurate
260
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:30.920
way a little of what was going
on in my head at that time.
261
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.440
I feel like it' s happening
here. It was my case and it
262
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.680
is a rather delicate subject, because, of course, the high performance is
263
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:47.880
quite demanding. And that' s
where, then, because you' re
264
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:53.920
worth the medal or you' re
worth the result you' re playing in
265
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:00.000
that competition and you forgot a little
bit about that human part and that lot
266
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:04.839
of things you have behind you don' t value that effort, that tour,
267
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:10.319
that delivery, those workouts and all
that emotional burden that also an athlete
268
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:17.279
attracts behind you, but you'
re required that in a competition that lasts
269
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:22.759
thirty seconds, thirty- five seconds
of its maximum, yes, effort and
270
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.880
leaving behind as if you just closed
a door and the rest disappeared. So,
271
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.759
it demands that result And it'
s ok medal or chavo to poyos,
272
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.279
medal or chao recognition, because in
a moment you' re here,
273
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.759
but in a competition it may not
have been your best competition. And for
274
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.799
no one it' s a secret
bye- bye, I mean, they
275
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:47.480
lock your doors from one moment to
the next. So it' s too
276
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:53.319
much demand at that level, giving
us a little more to the expectations part
277
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.880
and others reaching that high level,
high performance, high competition. And so
278
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:04.799
in those ages, between the twenty
and thirty, which is like anger in
279
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:10.319
this sport, where they are in
this category, I heard. But then
280
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:15.960
it' s a game of egos
on one side, where then it'
281
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.680
s that I' m already in
this category, then I don' t
282
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.200
compete in another, then I'
m already out. And so if I
283
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:25.400
retire, I' m not going
to put myself to compete in one in
284
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:33.319
a twenty- nine, another twenty
and bet pro, for example, Bet
285
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.920
Pro, which is still a very
high level. The category Bet Pro in
286
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:44.200
Colombia escapes the name of this country, which makes it very good that Nacho.
287
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:49.640
Nacho has made category Bet Pro,
the mosquito of Venezuela, the category
288
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:56.480
Bet Pro, the same Barry Nobles
category Bet Pro. And I feel that
289
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.160
in this case, for example,
of the three have understood well. Emilio
290
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:04.799
Falla of Ecuador, who has also
been here, in California. They believe
291
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:11.359
they have understood the message that after
that process and that culmination, there is
292
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.839
much more. Not so, not
in Colombia too, but Fabian Hernández,
293
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:19.720
José Luis DÃaz, who are dedicated
to teaching and to this professionalizing Fabio Peña,
294
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:27.079
have stopped competing. But what I
feel is that if after that elite
295
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:32.279
category there' s still a flame
to compete. I think it should be
296
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.720
stronger. And okay I' ll
see, pro I' m going to
297
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:38.039
experts without any problem. I have
the level and the experience, but they
298
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:45.720
kind of don' t let him
extrapolate, yes, and they do,
299
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:45.960
but they' re still high-
performance athletes. I mean, you see
300
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:56.599
them throwing gymnastics before I don'
t walk around or so. So,
301
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:02.680
if there' s a life after
that aside elite, what happens is that
302
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.559
already athletes like they consider that from
that point, from a certain point,
303
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:12.319
you stop going, from being fun, to making a profession where I enjoy
304
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:17.400
what I do, of course.
But then, you kind of miss that
305
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.680
component of which is that I like
this sheath and that' s why I
306
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:26.160
do it beyond the results and beyond
what happens in the competition. It'
307
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:32.160
s because I enjoy being on my
bike and it' s inside that'
308
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.039
s on the bike inside a track. I feel, I feel I can
309
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:41.160
be I definitely miss a part a
lot or you miss that part what you
310
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.720
say, I' m sorry.
I' m sorry all the time.
311
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:47.319
I' m sorry all the time. Every time I' m on the
312
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:52.559
bike training in a race, I
enjoy it more and more. I don
313
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:55.839
' t have any. I understand
also the level of commitment of a performance
314
00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:00.279
athlete. What you just said the
medal, the representation of the city of
315
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.759
the country. It' s a
profession. They don' t support me,
316
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:04.720
they take away my support, they
give it to me, the sponsors
317
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:11.240
come. It' s a lot
of things, but I want to ask
318
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:17.200
you what you suggest or what you
suggest that athletes, in this case or
319
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.799
high performance from bigger protests or smaller
ones. Also in which other areas,
320
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:27.599
as you are doing and you discovered
it, you can professionalize and be close
321
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.160
to the BMX, not necessarily being
in the match to win a World Cup
322
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:40.119
or Olympics or any of these.
How do you suggest, from your perspective
323
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.160
and what you have analyzed within the
market, in what more can be professionalized
324
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.440
to continue contributing and continue connected to
a passion. BMX is a passion,
325
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.319
but I see it now as a
profession. But it is a profession that
326
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:59.440
has many other things, not just
sports performance. What do you consider,
327
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:06.400
what do you think good what you
say the sport as such smart. You
328
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:11.839
live it as a wonderful sportsman,
but there is also a life behind it
329
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:17.160
and you have to go on.
Many times the athlete runs out of his
330
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:21.759
life and what you said a little
earlier neither studied nor liked anything else,
331
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.279
nor did he devote himself to anything
else. Then it gets to a point
332
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.200
where I was left as a handle, like starting from scratch. But let
333
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:34.079
' s say, especially in my
generation, those of us who came from
334
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:41.279
those processes and so on that now
several of us are not specifically dedicated to
335
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:47.920
high- performance sports as athletes,
but several are already coaches by certified coaches.
336
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.319
That right now comes an era where
ready before was well known that the
337
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.039
one who was a good athlete then
is coach. Okay. That' s
338
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.279
a bit in doubt, because there' s a lot of components behind a
339
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.880
club. It' s a plus, yes, it' s a club,
340
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:10.680
but in this new era. Yes, and you remind me of a
341
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.160
guy who was doing very well and
now he' s the Guatemala recruiter.
342
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:19.440
I don' t kill the kin
Chane, he' s still your generation,
343
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.799
he' s a lot smaller than
me, and then wow, what
344
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.920
he' s doing is also important
to me. Go on, excuse me
345
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.519
Yes, that' s right.
So, even though being a sportsman gives
346
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.880
you an impressive foundation, because to
finance, that is, you live what
347
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:40.519
the sportsman is living as such,
because there is basic knowledge and there is
348
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:44.559
a theoretical part that does not give
you sportsmanship. Then from my generation come
349
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.960
several where they are already coaches,
but they are certified coaches and they have
350
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:55.240
been changing a little bit the chip
of the way in which they are trained
351
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.200
already seeing the most sportsman from their
global context, from their family context,
352
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:06.519
their personal context, since it is
also important, for example, to have
353
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:07.200
a good performance in school. Not
everyone is doing well, because we are
354
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:12.519
not all good at everything, but
definitely, it is part of itself,
355
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.799
it is part of that discipline,
it is part of that complement. And
356
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.799
then you don' t have to
be number one in your school, but
357
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:30.880
sport is equivalent. With this part
as an academic, let' s say
358
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:36.880
looking from that part more towards discipline. Now ready, in the psychological part,
359
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:44.839
where there is not so much knowledge
that in sport you needed a psychologist,
360
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:48.480
a person who prepares you at the
mental level. Super guests to everyone,
361
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.720
because this is an awesome sheath.
I mean, I' m really
362
00:30:52.759 --> 00:31:00.079
passionate about this, and I think
it shows. But the athlete is understood
363
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:06.599
from all his contexts, at the
mental level, from everything that comes,
364
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:11.079
that what carries, all that past, all that family history, also affects
365
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.720
and is also seen to result in
a competition. It' s not just
366
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:21.640
what you see at that point.
How do you ask this question? They
367
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:25.920
sent it to me. It'
s not a question posed by mex How
368
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.920
is it done to release those burdens
that you say, a family burden,
369
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:37.559
that affects the sport. How can
I do beyond recognizing it or understanding it
370
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.599
or understanding what happened, how I
do to improve or to free it.
371
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:51.359
Psychonomic Doctor, you definitely have to
do a process, and a process with
372
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:56.319
a clinical psychologist ok the psychologist of
or will help you in many ways,
373
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:01.000
but there is a lot of history
behind that they give themselves to work with
374
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:09.680
a clinical psychologist, where you must
have those tools to be able to manage
375
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:14.480
all those things, keep in mind
what are the things that are within my
376
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:16.599
control and what are not within my
control. So, yes, it'
377
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:22.200
s family history where I suddenly charge
that my dad scolded me, after that
378
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:28.319
in every competition or that suddenly I
didn' t have a good relationship with
379
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.799
my dad or my mom or the
person who was my caregiver at the time.
380
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:37.920
Then he' s smart. That
was something that affected me at the
381
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.640
time and maybe it' s a
consequence of what I' m doing today.
382
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:45.039
But I take care of what I
can modify. So I' m
383
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:50.480
not going to drag that bunch of
behaviors and that bunch of history I have
384
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:54.920
to act the same way, but
I knew something clinical. I do a
385
00:32:55.240 --> 00:33:02.119
process where I restructure this whole story
and start changing patterns of behavior. Or
386
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:06.440
what happened with my dad or what
happened with my caregiver, because I can
387
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:10.480
no longer do anything at all,
but through a clinical psychologist who gives me
388
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:16.400
tools and from this moment on,
start acting in a different way. That
389
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:20.559
' s very important. Why do
I do it like this, because there
390
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:25.279
is also a lot like this that
I told you at the beginning, because
391
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:32.440
Ahorita is in Furor this part of
the mental training and so on, Ahorita,
392
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:40.160
there are many coach who are not
based on that psychological part, but
393
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:45.640
dedicated specifically to this part of motivation, discipline and constancy and so on.
394
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:53.000
But then, it' s definitely
science and evidence says so. One needs
395
00:33:53.200 --> 00:34:01.519
to have bases on how human beings
work, human behavior, reinforcement and punishment.
396
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:07.440
So, I repeat what gives me
backup and for nothing I' m
397
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:09.719
going to do something that' s
a punishment for me. So let'
398
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:15.719
s say it' s coming back
and that' s why it' s
399
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:17.360
very important that you have that component, not everyone. I don' t
400
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.320
mean the coaches are bad at all. Nothing to do with that, but
401
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.679
yes, one has to be much
more delicate when it comes to talking about
402
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:30.159
these issues, because it' s
not just about you being told, imagine
403
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:35.280
that you can win it and that
you' re going to do it and
404
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:40.119
it' s ready and magically going
to happen, because without a doubt that
405
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:44.360
doesn' t work so much because
those who didn' t. I mean,
406
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:50.639
it would be very simple a lot
of things behind it and the evidence
407
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:52.280
says so then. That' s
why it' s so important to base
408
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:57.679
it. If you' re going
to deal with human beings, this mental
409
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:05.239
part has to be a definitely natal
psychologist like I do to handle a career
410
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:09.039
situation, how I should do,
what you suggest I have an ending is
411
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:14.800
an end, regardless of the final
it' s final in whatever it is
412
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:15.800
in the end, it' s
final what you said. For a little
413
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:22.440
boy the end of his district can
scare him or represent the same thing as
414
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.800
for someone with a lot of experience
who is before a final of a world
415
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:30.639
championship. What you suggest not necessarily
final, cannot be semifinal, that the
416
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:35.239
semifinal has a attention that is sometimes
different than the finale itself. Sorting sleeves,
417
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:42.440
some tips to drive or to improve
those situations before an end, and
418
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:46.920
also how you handle a situation when
you have a situation within the race track
419
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:52.239
that you feel you were either very
aggressive or very aggressive. With you,
420
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:04.199
okay I' ll notice because yes, yes, yes, yes, sor
421
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:08.280
arrange I know the demo. How
do I do before an end, how
422
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:15.280
do I prepare for the moment.
We start with what' s one more
423
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:16.920
lap. You' re not going
to do magic. You' re not
424
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:21.280
going to do things you haven'
t done before. You' re not
425
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:24.119
going to start making up what you' ve already trained, you' ve
426
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:28.360
already trained him, and you'
re going to come up with a rather
427
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:30.519
well done ride. Then that'
s where I start it' s a
428
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:36.079
well- done turn. So it' s not just getting ahead on the
429
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:39.039
finish line. A well- done
turn is to get out on time at
430
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:45.519
the matcher. A well- done
turn is speeding up the party' s
431
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.960
descent. A well- made turn
is to be precise in my technique,
432
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:54.719
a well- made turn of neglecting
my career line. Right, a lot
433
00:36:54.840 --> 00:37:00.440
of components that come after a good
Hueta. Then it' s not that
434
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:06.280
simple. Yeah, I' m
gonna run the finals. Then I put
435
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.960
a little pressure on myself, because
it' s either the semifinal. Then
436
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:12.880
I have to stay in the top
four. Or else it' s nothing
437
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:16.119
anymore. This was worth it.
Okay. That' s not under my
438
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:22.519
control, because there are seven more
runners who also want to be there and
439
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.679
there are a lot of career situations, which is the second question that you
440
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.920
can present a moment of a peralte
where, obviously, a semi, an
441
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:32.960
end, everyone goes in to kill, because I have to get out of
442
00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:37.239
there, right, but then that' s what' s under my control.
443
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:44.599
Then I' ll concentrate on the
partyer. Super- important breathing.
444
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.039
There' s a guy I vote
for, a body scan. That'
445
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:52.400
s going to be I' ll
tell you how it works, but that
446
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.000
' s going to focus on me
at the moment and stop thinking about what
447
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.679
I' m going to do.
Inside the clue that' s going to
448
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:02.039
worry about the furthest away, the
farthest from the future. I' m
449
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:06.559
gonna get ready and I' m
gonna concentrate on him. Put up the
450
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:10.280
party board. I stand on my
bike, I use my basic feet as
451
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:15.920
if you use choclos in choclar well, have the position of my feet well,
452
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:20.320
because because of the pressure and for
a lot of things, to be
453
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:22.119
anxious, I forget that the foot
goes like this. And that' s
454
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:23.840
not how it goes. So,
when I' m gonna send the other
455
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:28.039
pedal, they call me a true
shock. Then I have to do a
456
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:35.639
body scan. Let' s start
with the rim on the board well positioned,
457
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:39.559
I get on the bike and start
with feet, legs, back shoulders,
458
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:44.480
arms and head. How is the
position of my body in that case.
459
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.840
It' s not the same going
out here as coming out here,
460
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:57.199
really, the movement changes completely,
but by fallacy, by expectations, by
461
00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:01.360
when I think only about the result, my very muscles unconsciously begin to pay
462
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:07.239
attention. Then I start and it' s the pain you usually have here.
463
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:13.960
So it' s like the pain, the popular myco, the myco,
464
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.880
squeezes your whole body voluntarily before you
get on the board, squeezes your
465
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:22.519
whole body with all the strength,
three seconds and relaxes, and so the
466
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:29.960
muscles that were strained are going to
relax and they' re going to feel
467
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.199
more prepared and but quieter. At
that moment you get on the board,
468
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.039
you do body roughing, a deep
breath and we' re out of time,
469
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:40.880
because those are thousands and more than
two seconds that last the voices.
470
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.280
So, at that point, it' s already starting to loke Righthrs.
471
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:47.920
When there' s the second space. I already have to be ready with
472
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:51.840
prepa scan, that is, it' s caneolisto. Already there, at
473
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:57.320
that point it is comfortable. My
position and gaze fix at traffic lights steves
474
00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:00.960
tighten and relax the body at that
point are pickled at the attack. Well,
475
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:06.679
what? Well, what? What? Good tips Natalia and good we
476
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:09.280
' re going to close. I
want to thank you for your time,
477
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:16.239
thank you for all that knowledge,
that much- needed information, so vital
478
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:21.159
that I feel like it falls very
well a few days before the World Championship.
479
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:23.480
However, because it is a content
that will always work, it will
480
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:31.280
always serve for us to prepare,
for us to be better mentally and obviously
481
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:37.360
physically also helps, but above all
the mental part that today is so important
482
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:45.400
in all corridors, in all ages. I don' t know if you
483
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:47.199
want to add anything for the closure. Please, of course I do.
484
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:59.320
Enjoy those who are going to this
World Cup. Enjoy this opportunity Go Go
485
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:04.880
Go Go Go Go. It'
s the first time of many and it
486
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:07.639
' s quite possibly going to be
the only time they get the chance.
487
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:12.400
I hope not, but for several
it is going to be this approach,
488
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:19.159
that they have to a competition of
this level where they will see the referents
489
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:22.880
of the world in what they are
most passionate about. Then go as with
490
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:29.320
that willingness to enjoy it, to
have a good time focusing on that beyond
491
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:32.760
what may happen. Of course,
we' re going with a very strong
492
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:36.599
training and so on. But when
you enjoy yourself, things start to flow
493
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:43.559
in a different way. That,
on the one hand, and because also
494
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:49.800
the fact that it is affordable that
we have it a little close to the
495
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.800
World Cup, near Colombia, because
they are usually in Europe. One has
496
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:58.960
to stick to a rather more expensive
journey. What this World Cup can do.
497
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:05.760
Enjoy the opportunity if you are going
to go, compete and depart from
498
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:08.679
that beginning if I enjoy it.
I' m gonna feel a lot better
499
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:12.519
doing what I do. One lap
at a time you' re gonna compete.
500
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.440
One sleeve is one lap at a
time don' t worry about the
501
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:21.679
finals yet. One lap at a
time. Oh thank you, Natalia for
502
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:27.800
sharing this that is a good message
for all those who like this sport,
503
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:30.920
that what we don' t want, love it, we carry it printed
504
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:37.199
on our adn our blood. We' ll keep going. I' m
505
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:42.639
sure and good. I thought it
was so important to have you thank for
506
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:51.320
your time, for your knowledge,
for the good vibe and we' ll
507
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:55.000
see you on the track or somewhere. The podcast episode will be available to
508
00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:00.679
all people who want to share it
on all platforms, that Apple, all
509
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:07.000
podcast platforms share it and learn a
little more about that so beautiful that it
510
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:13.440
is the BMX or the visi Motor
Sicle extrem as the Americans call it.
511
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:19.199
Thank you, Natalia, for your
time. Thank you so much for the

Walt to few t p s,

Than n Ouren Fabulous Photographs. And
now I do want to welcome you to
4
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.760
this new episode of the first BMX
podcast in Spanish, in an episode that
5
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:17.599
is going to have a very special
guest before. I also want to thank
6
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:23.040
our sponsors, a ple Way Podcast
Network, a lew Uno bm X Club
7
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.840
in the two hundred thirty- five
north of the city of Bogotá. There
8
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.159
' s a lot of anxiety these
days. I' m telling you who
9
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.200
our guest is, because the World
Championship is coming. He spent the Pan
10
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.480
American Championship in Bogotá and the Latin
American Championship at that stop, in that
11
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:52.319
international race that took place on the
Carlos RamÃrez track, were about a thousand
12
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.079
registered runners. Obviously, the volume
of Colombia, quite strong and from many
13
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.000
countries that accompanied us in a career, was very important. I think it
14
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.640
can be a career for Latin America
after the World Cup. I think it
15
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.719
' s the most important race.
The organization was very good, what I
16
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:14.400
saw could not be there, but
I saw many happy faces, good organization,
17
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.560
a good show. So congratulations to
the entire Pan- American and Latin
18
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.319
American organization that took place in Bogotá, Colombia and today a guest who will
19
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:34.719
share very special things with us.
She has been and will remain a bm
20
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.960
X runner. That psychologist also has
a master' s degree in all these
21
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.879
topics that help us and that help
the runners to have better presentations to strengthen.
22
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:52.080
We not only strengthen the physical part, but the mental part. It
23
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:58.360
' s fundamental. So Natalia Salamanca, who is also very young and is
24
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:06.599
already quite intellectually prepared to help us, and I want to invite her and
25
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.800
greet her. Hey, Natalia,
how you doing. How are you doing?
26
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.960
Hello, Alejandro, how are you? I am very well, very
27
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:19.439
excited to be here, super super
happy to be able to share, from
28
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.319
my experience and also from the Academy, everything that I have been learning throughout
29
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.439
these years and, above all,
to be able to share with you that,
30
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.520
in the end is what I seek
not to give that knowledge that the
31
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.960
mind of mental training ceases to be
also something so far from reality. It
32
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.199
is part of a training as well
as the technical part, of the physical
33
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.479
part. Super super important and so
take advantage right now that is also very
34
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.599
booming. Now many of the things
that sound are trending. So everyone wants
35
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.599
to go that way, you have
to take advantage of it and definitely,
36
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.879
the science- based, sport-
based mental training is very booming and you
37
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.280
have to definitely do it. Makes
a difference what a thrill it is to
38
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.800
be here. Thank you so much
for the Natalia invitation. Tell us well
39
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.480
some of your experience as a sportsman
and now you are still a sportsman,
40
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:23.720
but as a professional in that training
of mental preparation. Tell us a little
41
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:30.319
bit about your profile and we come
in with several questions that I have for
42
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.800
you clearly yes, well as a
sportsman, I started very small. I
43
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.759
started when I was nine. I
got to the Mario Soto track, with
44
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.120
my mom, with my brother,
we saw the bic Cross track. There
45
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.839
were no girls and I want that
super animated, I want that sport and
46
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.800
there it started as my sports career. At first it was very, to
47
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.879
go around on the track, to
enjoy the weekends, but things went away
48
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.160
and then I started to like with
more discipline going more days during the week,
49
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:11.240
competing nationally, competing I also started
to compete outside. I did a
50
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.839
lot of things while I was in
the sport. I always needed, like
51
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.040
that psychological component, that part where
you start to regulate those emotions, because
52
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:27.959
you definitely get to a competition outside
and then you start. I don'
53
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.120
t have too much expectation on me. I have to win, which in
54
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.600
the end is the goal that most
people have when they go out or when
55
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.720
they compete in general, I have
to win and it is to put too
56
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.480
much pressure on them. Then I
had the good opportion ready. I'
57
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.720
m done with school. But during
school I was very, very focused.
58
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:55.560
I was already in a more professional
training, doing double gymnasium, track and
59
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.839
so on. In this case,
I already knew that I liked psychology and
60
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.319
was in the sport part. Then
I did not know how to unite them,
61
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.800
because at that time I had no
knowledge that there was a psychology based
62
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.079
on sport. But I, since
I mean, I really like this.
63
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.639
I entered the University in the two
thousand sixteen to study psychology at the University
64
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:25.759
of the Forest, and there,
I continued to study and in my sports
65
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.279
discipline was already what I tell you, training full full, because I was
66
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:38.959
already competing internationally. Then I had
a good level at the time. What
67
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.879
else does he tell you? Well, you' ve said a lot of
68
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.720
things and I' m gonna start
asking you why it happened to me.
69
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.439
It happened many times, it happens
less and less, but that first international
70
00:06:51.959 --> 00:07:05.399
race, why it costs so much
work and produces that theme is that it
71
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.639
is quite the topic that can be
drawn from it, especially because, well,
72
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.079
you have prepared a lot for that
type of competition, but everything is
73
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.800
based on the experience, as when
you are going to ride bike for the
74
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:23.959
first time you will not make it
perfect, then you should go to any
75
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:31.519
competition with very clear objectives and very
well structured objectives. If it is your
76
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:38.639
first international competition, why do you
put so much burden on yourself and rather
77
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.759
the goal can be to enjoy this
experience and do the best you can to
78
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:48.079
focus on things that are under my
control, because if I only focus on
79
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.879
the result, then the result has
a thousand factors on which a result depends.
80
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.199
It' s just that you,
more than anyone else, know that
81
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.560
you get out of the game and
you can go through a lot, a
82
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.480
lot of things, right, a
lot. There are seven more runners you
83
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:09.040
want, as well as when you
say what is in our control and what
84
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.879
is out of control, what can
be those things that are in control as
85
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.319
a runner and those that are not
can seem obvious to many, but many
86
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:26.560
people do not have the consciousness yet
to be able to determine. This looks
87
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.720
at factors that are within my control. There' s my technical part,
88
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.200
there' s my mind control.
Definitely nobody else depends on that. My
89
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.039
peace of mind is getting my things
ready. Let' s start on that
90
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:48.480
side, not having everything very smart
having to check my bike, having my
91
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.879
diet, having my fluids. Seen
on that side we have things that are
92
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.559
under ok now let' s go
to those that are out of my control.
93
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.879
I don' t control my coach' s expectations. That' s
94
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.000
not under my control and, above
all, for the kids. I don
95
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.799
' t control my parents' genius. Okay that' s one of the
96
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:16.399
things because then I' m going
to run is with the fear that if
97
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.080
I don' t do it right
they' ll give me right, that
98
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.039
you don' t control it.
This controls your dad and because it'
99
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:30.759
s the management that has to give
him ok ok You don' t control
100
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.799
the public, for example, that
can also play in some people for or
101
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.840
against that then the scenic panic that
they' re looking at me or I
102
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.399
' m there, that doesn'
t control him then. That' s
103
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.440
the thing. Let' s just
say what you say to some can be
104
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.159
obvious and for others it' s
completely understandable. We need to clarify that,
105
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.639
because we understand that many times one
happens is like because of that dread
106
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:03.840
and that I have to prove to
people that I am good, or I
107
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.279
have to prove to myself all that
I have been training I am going to
108
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.120
do in this race, and that
is putting too much weight on me.
109
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.639
It' s a weight that'
s unnecessary at the end, so more
110
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.080
or less of that. It'
s treated like that that' s inside
111
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:26.600
and outside of how there are some
tips or suggestions that you want to recommend
112
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:35.879
to us independently if they' re
going to be in a district, state,
113
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.840
Latin American, national, world championship, race is career, but yes,
114
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.279
why the attention is different, when
besides, it shouldn' t be
115
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.879
like that. They don' t
tell him no world championship race and already
116
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.639
one better said put the stick very
high. The attention is very high,
117
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.080
but they tell him it' s
not district championship and I don' t.
118
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.120
Ah well, yes, I don' t know how one does to
119
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.159
give respect to all races, because
any race deserves respect, just like the
120
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.559
runners we have next door, the
one standing in a match is because he
121
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:13.480
also pedals and also wants to win. What suggestions do you have to lower
122
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:20.240
your nerves? From the perspective that
you' ve studied psychological mental, I
123
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:28.039
don' t know if maybe eating
helps good practices and good ways to help
124
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:37.360
lessen that attention that you suggest good, initially, to structure goals that are
125
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:45.559
realistic and achievable. There is a
structure to be objective that is called a
126
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:52.519
technique called smart. Then the objectives
have to be specific, measurable, achievable,
127
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.200
realistic and have a date. So, a lot of times you get
128
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:01.440
a few goals just thinking about what
career I have you in two months.
129
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.000
So, for that race, my
goal is to sort out the finals It
130
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.399
' s good to know what career
it is and what your current level is.
131
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.759
So, there you start to evaluate
and you have to put yourself in
132
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.519
a position where smart is real that
I' m two months from now.
133
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.919
If I' ve been training for
five years and I' m at this
134
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.639
point, whether I' m in
two months, I can get to this
135
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:31.679
point. I mean, that'
s a matter of a long time,
136
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:41.840
very objective, realistic and within my
reach. Then I set myself some very
137
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.240
clear goals and in this way I
can be very landed when it comes to
138
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.519
a competition. Experience is now very
important as well. So, so you
139
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:56.720
say. All races are important.
Already there is a measure that is moving
140
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.000
forward in sport and becoming more expert
in sport, since one says already reaches
141
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:07.120
an international race, then it is
already a level of importance, perhaps a
142
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.639
little higher. But the child who
is in schools and so far is starting
143
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.120
to compete, because a district to
a festival is that high level of importance.
144
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.799
Cla is throughout the experience and one
is increasingly feeling much more confident,
145
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:28.000
much more calm. And a very
important part also that is actually like the
146
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.240
biggest subject of consultation that dads come
to me and is that my son doesn
147
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.600
' t trust him. It'
s like he trains very well, but
148
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.159
when he gets to the races,
he doesn' t run, he does,
149
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:45.720
he doesn' t give up,
he doesn' t do what he
150
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.519
trains. Then let' s go
from the experience with what I was saying
151
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.679
to you. No one, nothing
has been learned. Then one goes more
152
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.759
and more and practises and faces more
competitions, as I have more and more
153
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.919
tools to be able to perform better. But above all it is that I
154
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:09.320
can stand in that quiet partyer,
with enough maturity also mental and trust in
155
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:15.320
the process that I carry. It' s just that if I' ve
156
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.600
been training a plan to the letter, gym, food, rest, track,
157
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.559
repetitions and I' m aware of
that, because who' s going
158
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.720
to take away that trust in the
partyer now is different when I start,
159
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.879
it' s not that this week
I took their body to the gym,
160
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.279
like twice and last week I went
partying. Or there' s a lot
161
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:45.159
going on and obviously trust there is
starting to get unbalanced. Ok Wow for
162
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:50.440
the World Championship since two thousand twenty- four here in the United States,
163
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:56.799
exactly rock Hill, in North Caroline. It is a clue that many Colombians
164
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:05.480
already know and know. They come
from Colombia. That' s three hundred
165
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.320
runners. It' s a huge
number, which I' m very happy
166
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.960
about between the Challenger category and the
championship category. It' s a great
167
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.960
opportunity to shine. Colombia is power
in BMX and not only in sports.
168
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:26.519
Now I also say that it is
power in professionals like you Natalia Salamanca,
169
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.360
who are around the BMX and who
need it also to not go further.
170
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.519
The coach of the U S team
is a Colombian. Professor Germán Medina Fabio
171
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:45.240
Peña, the coach of the Colombian
team, was also a runner. So
172
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.080
I feel that more and more there
is a professionalization of bm X, of
173
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.240
which we must be more aware every
day and make the sport continue to grow.
174
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.399
And I' ve noticed it,
because how many years I' ve
175
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.799
been linked and scored and I like
it and I' m proud of what
176
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.240
you mean regardless of age, because
looking at the categories of Colombians that we
177
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.279
' re going to be in the
World Cup, you feel very happy to
178
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.600
see from the category from the smallest
in experts to the category of the greatest
179
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.720
and most experienced. I don'
t mean the biggest when and experienced when
180
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:30.080
they necessarily are the elites, because
after the elite and professional part, the
181
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:37.360
career can continue. But there are
people and there are runners who, when
182
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.600
they don' t feel that at
their moment in elite, they end their
183
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.840
professional life. But that' s
another topic and it' s a perhaps
184
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.080
deeper conversation. But I want to
ask you, or I want you to
185
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.159
tell me, tell me, because
I' m learning it too and I
186
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:59.080
need it. What suggestions do you
have for these runners that we go for
187
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:04.119
the World Cup, without important age
and category. Well, one of the
188
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.839
parts you commented on I' m
passionate about a lot, which is life
189
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:14.839
after the performance sport. It'
s a subject that can give us a
190
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.400
lot of things to talk about.
And I feel like it' s all
191
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.279
of a sudden, the least talked
about. But suddenly we can leave it
192
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.119
there in the inkwell, but a
little next. But, but, tell
193
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.640
me about any of that? Tell
me about it? Tell me about it?
194
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.319
That I just asked you if it
catches your attention because I want to
195
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:40.000
know other points of view. Of
course you' re ready to get to
196
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:45.880
a level with dreams and goals,
with a pretty long job and then there,
197
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.279
at that level it' s where
it starts. Okay ready, I
198
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.079
' m getting what I proposed at
that point, then I continue and so
199
00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.240
on, but it already reaches a
level or, already it reaches an age
200
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.519
where, definitely, because I can
no longer continue in this elite category,
201
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.279
not that of high performance sports life, it is actually very short. One
202
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.039
from a certain age no longer renders
in the same way, no longer performs
203
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:17.279
the same and that is not a
secret. But it does not mean that
204
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:22.920
then your sports life is over the
fact of being able to continue enjoying this
205
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.279
sport as a passion as something that
moves me, as something also social.
206
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.400
It' s just that we,
who' ve been doing this for so
207
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.039
many years, actually, these are
our friends. Yeah, I mean,
208
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.720
he doesn' t feel like friends
here. Family. There are people you
209
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.480
know from ten twenty years ago.
If that' s your case, it
210
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.680
was a lot of people who get
part of 20 years. Thank you for
211
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.559
saying twenty years. No. I
think a little bit more I' m
212
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:53.799
going to tell you I have we' re like a group of five,
213
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.759
six or seven, we' re
very close friends, but I think the
214
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.759
most legendary of friends I shared with
and still very active. In addition,
215
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.759
he was injured at the national level, is recovering and is coming for the
216
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:14.200
World Cup. Suddenly you know him
is called Santiago Ospina. So that'
217
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.440
s me, I' m forty- two. Thank you for saying it
218
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.640
from 20 friends, 20 years ago. I think that almost thirty or a
219
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:26.200
little more imagine yourself, but well, then, going back to what you
220
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:33.119
were saying, is that it seems
supremely interesting to me, because I have
221
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.799
noticed and not only in Colombia.
I remember a conversation I had with Maris
222
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.519
Strommers, a double Olympic medalist who
at the age of thirty, was still
223
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:52.440
very young, and said that after
the second Olympic Medal that year was very
224
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.480
strong, because after running World Championship
and well, he had season in the
225
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.519
United States and came one day to
the track and felt that he no longer
226
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:06.039
wanted, I already won everything,
what else, and I asked him he
227
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:10.160
said no, I don' t
want anything. More. I don'
228
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:14.000
t want to know anything else or
anything about this. Well, now he
229
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.559
' s a golfer and he'
s probably a level golfer, because he
230
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:22.440
' s an awesome athlete. But
I kept thinking why at the age of
231
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.480
thirty you are a very young person, still very young, Even at the
232
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.160
age of thirty, I am forty- two, I went through thirty and
233
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.559
at thirty I thought that I was
not so young and still a person too
234
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.720
young. At twenty, for you
are not speaking and at twenty- five
235
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.519
you are even better said. But
why it fails there, what happens.
236
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.720
We need someone to help us,
to guide us, to tell us,
237
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:52.519
to show us. But then I
don' t run elite anymore, so
238
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.039
my life is over here and I
feel like it' s a very strong
239
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:04.200
shock for these athletes what they'
re going to do next and you too
240
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.079
what you think about me. I
know it' s very difficult, while
241
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.200
you' re in a performance athlete, to be able to study, but
242
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:17.079
I' ve noticed that when the
performance race stops and they don' t
243
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:22.519
have an academic part in whatever it
is, no, what happens there you
244
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.559
think can be improved or sent a
message to help these kind of runners that
245
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.000
I see them, not just in
Colombia, everywhere, everywhere in the world.
246
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.519
There' s a lot of issues. Well, this can go in
247
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.240
two parts and well, yeah,
yeah, my memory gives me. But,
248
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:48.319
well, the first part is structured
to because when we get to that
249
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.240
level it' s over and I
don' t want to know any more
250
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.000
about this. And one ends almost
that I have fought with the sointe that
251
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:56.920
in the end it was a bit
in my case too, that I didn
252
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.839
' t want to know anything more
about bikecross I mean, I retired in
253
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.960
the two thousand nineteen and because I
came back from an academic exchange and took
254
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.200
my bike and in that year I
was preparing, because I had been preparing
255
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.119
for four years for national games.
And I came in the two thousand nineteen
256
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:15.759
and said no more and I didn' t go back to the track,
257
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:19.880
I mean, I didn' t
show up there again, I didn'
258
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:25.200
t want any more then at this
point that I already have much more knowledge,
259
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.839
I already have more experience where I
can already say in a more accurate
260
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:30.920
way a little of what was going
on in my head at that time.
261
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.440
I feel like it' s happening
here. It was my case and it
262
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.680
is a rather delicate subject, because, of course, the high performance is
263
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:47.880
quite demanding. And that' s
where, then, because you' re
264
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:53.920
worth the medal or you' re
worth the result you' re playing in
265
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:00.000
that competition and you forgot a little
bit about that human part and that lot
266
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:04.839
of things you have behind you don' t value that effort, that tour,
267
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:10.319
that delivery, those workouts and all
that emotional burden that also an athlete
268
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:17.279
attracts behind you, but you'
re required that in a competition that lasts
269
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:22.759
thirty seconds, thirty- five seconds
of its maximum, yes, effort and
270
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.880
leaving behind as if you just closed
a door and the rest disappeared. So,
271
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.759
it demands that result And it'
s ok medal or chavo to poyos,
272
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.279
medal or chao recognition, because in
a moment you' re here,
273
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.759
but in a competition it may not
have been your best competition. And for
274
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.799
no one it' s a secret
bye- bye, I mean, they
275
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:47.480
lock your doors from one moment to
the next. So it' s too
276
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:53.319
much demand at that level, giving
us a little more to the expectations part
277
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.880
and others reaching that high level,
high performance, high competition. And so
278
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:04.799
in those ages, between the twenty
and thirty, which is like anger in
279
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:10.319
this sport, where they are in
this category, I heard. But then
280
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:15.960
it' s a game of egos
on one side, where then it'
281
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.680
s that I' m already in
this category, then I don' t
282
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.200
compete in another, then I'
m already out. And so if I
283
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:25.400
retire, I' m not going
to put myself to compete in one in
284
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:33.319
a twenty- nine, another twenty
and bet pro, for example, Bet
285
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.920
Pro, which is still a very
high level. The category Bet Pro in
286
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:44.200
Colombia escapes the name of this country, which makes it very good that Nacho.
287
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:49.640
Nacho has made category Bet Pro,
the mosquito of Venezuela, the category
288
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:56.480
Bet Pro, the same Barry Nobles
category Bet Pro. And I feel that
289
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.160
in this case, for example,
of the three have understood well. Emilio
290
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:04.799
Falla of Ecuador, who has also
been here, in California. They believe
291
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:11.359
they have understood the message that after
that process and that culmination, there is
292
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.839
much more. Not so, not
in Colombia too, but Fabian Hernández,
293
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:19.720
José Luis DÃaz, who are dedicated
to teaching and to this professionalizing Fabio Peña,
294
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:27.079
have stopped competing. But what I
feel is that if after that elite
295
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:32.279
category there' s still a flame
to compete. I think it should be
296
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.720
stronger. And okay I' ll
see, pro I' m going to
297
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:38.039
experts without any problem. I have
the level and the experience, but they
298
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:45.720
kind of don' t let him
extrapolate, yes, and they do,
299
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:45.960
but they' re still high-
performance athletes. I mean, you see
300
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:56.599
them throwing gymnastics before I don'
t walk around or so. So,
301
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:02.680
if there' s a life after
that aside elite, what happens is that
302
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.559
already athletes like they consider that from
that point, from a certain point,
303
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:12.319
you stop going, from being fun, to making a profession where I enjoy
304
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:17.400
what I do, of course.
But then, you kind of miss that
305
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.680
component of which is that I like
this sheath and that' s why I
306
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:26.160
do it beyond the results and beyond
what happens in the competition. It'
307
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:32.160
s because I enjoy being on my
bike and it' s inside that'
308
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.039
s on the bike inside a track. I feel, I feel I can
309
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:41.160
be I definitely miss a part a
lot or you miss that part what you
310
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.720
say, I' m sorry.
I' m sorry all the time.
311
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:47.319
I' m sorry all the time. Every time I' m on the
312
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:52.559
bike training in a race, I
enjoy it more and more. I don
313
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:55.839
' t have any. I understand
also the level of commitment of a performance
314
00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:00.279
athlete. What you just said the
medal, the representation of the city of
315
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.759
the country. It' s a
profession. They don' t support me,
316
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:04.720
they take away my support, they
give it to me, the sponsors
317
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:11.240
come. It' s a lot
of things, but I want to ask
318
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:17.200
you what you suggest or what you
suggest that athletes, in this case or
319
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.799
high performance from bigger protests or smaller
ones. Also in which other areas,
320
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:27.599
as you are doing and you discovered
it, you can professionalize and be close
321
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.160
to the BMX, not necessarily being
in the match to win a World Cup
322
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:40.119
or Olympics or any of these.
How do you suggest, from your perspective
323
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.160
and what you have analyzed within the
market, in what more can be professionalized
324
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.440
to continue contributing and continue connected to
a passion. BMX is a passion,
325
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.319
but I see it now as a
profession. But it is a profession that
326
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:59.440
has many other things, not just
sports performance. What do you consider,
327
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:06.400
what do you think good what you
say the sport as such smart. You
328
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:11.839
live it as a wonderful sportsman,
but there is also a life behind it
329
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:17.160
and you have to go on.
Many times the athlete runs out of his
330
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:21.759
life and what you said a little
earlier neither studied nor liked anything else,
331
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.279
nor did he devote himself to anything
else. Then it gets to a point
332
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.200
where I was left as a handle, like starting from scratch. But let
333
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:34.079
' s say, especially in my
generation, those of us who came from
334
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:41.279
those processes and so on that now
several of us are not specifically dedicated to
335
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:47.920
high- performance sports as athletes,
but several are already coaches by certified coaches.
336
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.319
That right now comes an era where
ready before was well known that the
337
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.039
one who was a good athlete then
is coach. Okay. That' s
338
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.279
a bit in doubt, because there' s a lot of components behind a
339
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.880
club. It' s a plus, yes, it' s a club,
340
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:10.680
but in this new era. Yes, and you remind me of a
341
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.160
guy who was doing very well and
now he' s the Guatemala recruiter.
342
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:19.440
I don' t kill the kin
Chane, he' s still your generation,
343
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.799
he' s a lot smaller than
me, and then wow, what
344
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.920
he' s doing is also important
to me. Go on, excuse me
345
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.519
Yes, that' s right.
So, even though being a sportsman gives
346
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.880
you an impressive foundation, because to
finance, that is, you live what
347
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:40.519
the sportsman is living as such,
because there is basic knowledge and there is
348
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:44.559
a theoretical part that does not give
you sportsmanship. Then from my generation come
349
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.960
several where they are already coaches,
but they are certified coaches and they have
350
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:55.240
been changing a little bit the chip
of the way in which they are trained
351
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.200
already seeing the most sportsman from their
global context, from their family context,
352
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:06.519
their personal context, since it is
also important, for example, to have
353
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:07.200
a good performance in school. Not
everyone is doing well, because we are
354
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:12.519
not all good at everything, but
definitely, it is part of itself,
355
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.799
it is part of that discipline,
it is part of that complement. And
356
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.799
then you don' t have to
be number one in your school, but
357
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:30.880
sport is equivalent. With this part
as an academic, let' s say
358
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:36.880
looking from that part more towards discipline. Now ready, in the psychological part,
359
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:44.839
where there is not so much knowledge
that in sport you needed a psychologist,
360
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:48.480
a person who prepares you at the
mental level. Super guests to everyone,
361
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.720
because this is an awesome sheath.
I mean, I' m really
362
00:30:52.759 --> 00:31:00.079
passionate about this, and I think
it shows. But the athlete is understood
363
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:06.599
from all his contexts, at the
mental level, from everything that comes,
364
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:11.079
that what carries, all that past, all that family history, also affects
365
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.720
and is also seen to result in
a competition. It' s not just
366
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:21.640
what you see at that point.
How do you ask this question? They
367
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:25.920
sent it to me. It'
s not a question posed by mex How
368
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.920
is it done to release those burdens
that you say, a family burden,
369
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:37.559
that affects the sport. How can
I do beyond recognizing it or understanding it
370
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.599
or understanding what happened, how I
do to improve or to free it.
371
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:51.359
Psychonomic Doctor, you definitely have to
do a process, and a process with
372
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:56.319
a clinical psychologist ok the psychologist of
or will help you in many ways,
373
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:01.000
but there is a lot of history
behind that they give themselves to work with
374
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:09.680
a clinical psychologist, where you must
have those tools to be able to manage
375
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:14.480
all those things, keep in mind
what are the things that are within my
376
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:16.599
control and what are not within my
control. So, yes, it'
377
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:22.200
s family history where I suddenly charge
that my dad scolded me, after that
378
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:28.319
in every competition or that suddenly I
didn' t have a good relationship with
379
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.799
my dad or my mom or the
person who was my caregiver at the time.
380
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:37.920
Then he' s smart. That
was something that affected me at the
381
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.640
time and maybe it' s a
consequence of what I' m doing today.
382
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:45.039
But I take care of what I
can modify. So I' m
383
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:50.480
not going to drag that bunch of
behaviors and that bunch of history I have
384
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:54.920
to act the same way, but
I knew something clinical. I do a
385
00:32:55.240 --> 00:33:02.119
process where I restructure this whole story
and start changing patterns of behavior. Or
386
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:06.440
what happened with my dad or what
happened with my caregiver, because I can
387
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:10.480
no longer do anything at all,
but through a clinical psychologist who gives me
388
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:16.400
tools and from this moment on,
start acting in a different way. That
389
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:20.559
' s very important. Why do
I do it like this, because there
390
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:25.279
is also a lot like this that
I told you at the beginning, because
391
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:32.440
Ahorita is in Furor this part of
the mental training and so on, Ahorita,
392
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:40.160
there are many coach who are not
based on that psychological part, but
393
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:45.640
dedicated specifically to this part of motivation, discipline and constancy and so on.
394
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:53.000
But then, it' s definitely
science and evidence says so. One needs
395
00:33:53.200 --> 00:34:01.519
to have bases on how human beings
work, human behavior, reinforcement and punishment.
396
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:07.440
So, I repeat what gives me
backup and for nothing I' m
397
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:09.719
going to do something that' s
a punishment for me. So let'
398
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:15.719
s say it' s coming back
and that' s why it' s
399
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:17.360
very important that you have that component, not everyone. I don' t
400
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.320
mean the coaches are bad at all. Nothing to do with that, but
401
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.679
yes, one has to be much
more delicate when it comes to talking about
402
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:30.159
these issues, because it' s
not just about you being told, imagine
403
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:35.280
that you can win it and that
you' re going to do it and
404
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:40.119
it' s ready and magically going
to happen, because without a doubt that
405
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:44.360
doesn' t work so much because
those who didn' t. I mean,
406
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:50.639
it would be very simple a lot
of things behind it and the evidence
407
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:52.280
says so then. That' s
why it' s so important to base
408
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:57.679
it. If you' re going
to deal with human beings, this mental
409
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:05.239
part has to be a definitely natal
psychologist like I do to handle a career
410
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:09.039
situation, how I should do,
what you suggest I have an ending is
411
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:14.800
an end, regardless of the final
it' s final in whatever it is
412
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:15.800
in the end, it' s
final what you said. For a little
413
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:22.440
boy the end of his district can
scare him or represent the same thing as
414
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.800
for someone with a lot of experience
who is before a final of a world
415
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:30.639
championship. What you suggest not necessarily
final, cannot be semifinal, that the
416
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:35.239
semifinal has a attention that is sometimes
different than the finale itself. Sorting sleeves,
417
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:42.440
some tips to drive or to improve
those situations before an end, and
418
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:46.920
also how you handle a situation when
you have a situation within the race track
419
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:52.239
that you feel you were either very
aggressive or very aggressive. With you,
420
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:04.199
okay I' ll notice because yes, yes, yes, yes, sor
421
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:08.280
arrange I know the demo. How
do I do before an end, how
422
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:15.280
do I prepare for the moment.
We start with what' s one more
423
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:16.920
lap. You' re not going
to do magic. You' re not
424
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:21.280
going to do things you haven'
t done before. You' re not
425
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:24.119
going to start making up what you' ve already trained, you' ve
426
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:28.360
already trained him, and you'
re going to come up with a rather
427
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:30.519
well done ride. Then that'
s where I start it' s a
428
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:36.079
well- done turn. So it' s not just getting ahead on the
429
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:39.039
finish line. A well- done
turn is to get out on time at
430
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:45.519
the matcher. A well- done
turn is speeding up the party' s
431
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.960
descent. A well- made turn
is to be precise in my technique,
432
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:54.719
a well- made turn of neglecting
my career line. Right, a lot
433
00:36:54.840 --> 00:37:00.440
of components that come after a good
Hueta. Then it' s not that
434
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:06.280
simple. Yeah, I' m
gonna run the finals. Then I put
435
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.960
a little pressure on myself, because
it' s either the semifinal. Then
436
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:12.880
I have to stay in the top
four. Or else it' s nothing
437
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:16.119
anymore. This was worth it.
Okay. That' s not under my
438
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:22.519
control, because there are seven more
runners who also want to be there and
439
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.679
there are a lot of career situations, which is the second question that you
440
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.920
can present a moment of a peralte
where, obviously, a semi, an
441
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:32.960
end, everyone goes in to kill, because I have to get out of
442
00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:37.239
there, right, but then that' s what' s under my control.
443
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:44.599
Then I' ll concentrate on the
partyer. Super- important breathing.
444
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.039
There' s a guy I vote
for, a body scan. That'
445
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:52.400
s going to be I' ll
tell you how it works, but that
446
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.000
' s going to focus on me
at the moment and stop thinking about what
447
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.679
I' m going to do.
Inside the clue that' s going to
448
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:02.039
worry about the furthest away, the
farthest from the future. I' m
449
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:06.559
gonna get ready and I' m
gonna concentrate on him. Put up the
450
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:10.280
party board. I stand on my
bike, I use my basic feet as
451
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:15.920
if you use choclos in choclar well, have the position of my feet well,
452
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:20.320
because because of the pressure and for
a lot of things, to be
453
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:22.119
anxious, I forget that the foot
goes like this. And that' s
454
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:23.840
not how it goes. So,
when I' m gonna send the other
455
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:28.039
pedal, they call me a true
shock. Then I have to do a
456
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:35.639
body scan. Let' s start
with the rim on the board well positioned,
457
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:39.559
I get on the bike and start
with feet, legs, back shoulders,
458
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:44.480
arms and head. How is the
position of my body in that case.
459
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.840
It' s not the same going
out here as coming out here,
460
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:57.199
really, the movement changes completely,
but by fallacy, by expectations, by
461
00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:01.360
when I think only about the result, my very muscles unconsciously begin to pay
462
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:07.239
attention. Then I start and it' s the pain you usually have here.
463
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:13.960
So it' s like the pain, the popular myco, the myco,
464
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.880
squeezes your whole body voluntarily before you
get on the board, squeezes your
465
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:22.519
whole body with all the strength,
three seconds and relaxes, and so the
466
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:29.960
muscles that were strained are going to
relax and they' re going to feel
467
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.199
more prepared and but quieter. At
that moment you get on the board,
468
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.039
you do body roughing, a deep
breath and we' re out of time,
469
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:40.880
because those are thousands and more than
two seconds that last the voices.
470
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.280
So, at that point, it' s already starting to loke Righthrs.
471
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:47.920
When there' s the second space. I already have to be ready with
472
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:51.840
prepa scan, that is, it' s caneolisto. Already there, at
473
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:57.320
that point it is comfortable. My
position and gaze fix at traffic lights steves
474
00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:00.960
tighten and relax the body at that
point are pickled at the attack. Well,
475
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:06.679
what? Well, what? What? Good tips Natalia and good we
476
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:09.280
' re going to close. I
want to thank you for your time,
477
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:16.239
thank you for all that knowledge,
that much- needed information, so vital
478
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:21.159
that I feel like it falls very
well a few days before the World Championship.
479
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:23.480
However, because it is a content
that will always work, it will
480
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:31.280
always serve for us to prepare,
for us to be better mentally and obviously
481
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:37.360
physically also helps, but above all
the mental part that today is so important
482
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:45.400
in all corridors, in all ages. I don' t know if you
483
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:47.199
want to add anything for the closure. Please, of course I do.
484
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:59.320
Enjoy those who are going to this
World Cup. Enjoy this opportunity Go Go
485
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:04.880
Go Go Go Go. It'
s the first time of many and it
486
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:07.639
' s quite possibly going to be
the only time they get the chance.
487
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:12.400
I hope not, but for several
it is going to be this approach,
488
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:19.159
that they have to a competition of
this level where they will see the referents
489
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:22.880
of the world in what they are
most passionate about. Then go as with
490
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:29.320
that willingness to enjoy it, to
have a good time focusing on that beyond
491
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:32.760
what may happen. Of course,
we' re going with a very strong
492
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:36.599
training and so on. But when
you enjoy yourself, things start to flow
493
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:43.559
in a different way. That,
on the one hand, and because also
494
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:49.800
the fact that it is affordable that
we have it a little close to the
495
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.800
World Cup, near Colombia, because
they are usually in Europe. One has
496
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:58.960
to stick to a rather more expensive
journey. What this World Cup can do.
497
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:05.760
Enjoy the opportunity if you are going
to go, compete and depart from
498
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:08.679
that beginning if I enjoy it.
I' m gonna feel a lot better
499
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:12.519
doing what I do. One lap
at a time you' re gonna compete.
500
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.440
One sleeve is one lap at a
time don' t worry about the
501
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:21.679
finals yet. One lap at a
time. Oh thank you, Natalia for
502
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:27.800
sharing this that is a good message
for all those who like this sport,
503
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:30.920
that what we don' t want, love it, we carry it printed
504
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:37.199
on our adn our blood. We' ll keep going. I' m
505
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:42.639
sure and good. I thought it
was so important to have you thank for
506
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:51.320

little more about that so beautiful that it

00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:13.440

Sicle extrem as the Americans call it.
511
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:19.199
