95. Kristina Groves – Part 2.

May 30, 2011 by duffgibson

This is a really interesting video where 4-time Olympic speed skating medalist Kristina Groves talks about the evolution of her goal setting.  Most people would assume that an Olympian would be very goal oriented and focus on the numbers (beating her times or improving upon her ranking).  This was the case originally for Kristina but as she describes, after a while it didn’t work for her any more.  Really interesting perspective from one of Canada’s all-time great Olympians.
