Being an elite athlete in a high-performance environment of an Olympic sport is not for the faint hearted. Time, commitment, sacrifice, resilience, discipline, an unwavering love of what you do and in a lot of cases, an ability and choice on how to deal with the highs and lows that inevitably come with it.
