I Prepare Mentally First Before Every Race - Amusan | Daily Report Nigeria

World 100m hurdles champion record holder Tobi Amusan has opened up about the secrets behind her success on the track last year.

The 25-year-old hurdler had a wonderful 2022 and she became the first Nigerian world champion in an athletics event, when she won the 2022 World Championships 100m hurdles Gold medal and also setting a new record of 12.12sec.

In a video chat with Justin Tuckey, the Ogun-born hurdler said she trained so hard and also prepared herself mentally before any race, noting that it helped her stay fouced in every race.

“We put our bodies through six hours of training every day for six days a week. And you can be the fittest person in a race and mentally you just get distracted by the other runners on the tracks. A few moments of that ruin everything. And with my kind of event, you need 100 per cent focus,” Amusan said.

“So, the mental part is just as important, if not more, because you have done the work by training hard and now you show up at the track. Sometimes, it’s not about who is the toughest. I have been in every championship finals and it’s not about the toughest, but who wants it and can relax and execute in most of the race scenarios.

“Most times when I train, I do my little talking in my head to prepare myself mentally. What I do in training is what I do on the tracks. So, when you see me out there, I am not crazy, I do this every day, especially when I have lots of hurdle practices.

“I say to myself, ‘you are the best, you have to do it.’ That self-affirmation, like talking in your head, kind of gets you going, but the time you get on the track, I know what to say to calm myself down and not put myself under unnecessary pressure. It’s really important to be mentally tough.”
