Eliud Kipchoge reflects on career and next step in insightful revelation following Paris Olympics dissapointment
Kipchoge has reflected on his career and next step in an insightful rapid fire Q & A segment.
As reported by Manchester United, Kipchoge explained that an athlete’s mentality is one of the most important things to be embraced and without having a strong mindset, most athletes fail to live up to expectations. He added that a strong mindset adds to the physicality of an athlete.
“Mindset is important for a sportsman and all the footballers. You must be physically fit but above all, you must be psychologically fit. What drives a man, what drives a woman, is the mind. If you are able to control the mind then you can control your body and you are able to consume the right things. Then out of that will come good things,” he said.

He added that maintaining a positive mindset is one of the key factors that helps athletes to win on the field and in life.
“In training, you must have a strong and high-profile mindset. Also, like playing the game, you need the right mind. The right mind is the right way. When you are tackling your opponent, with the right mind you are able to do well,” Kipchoge said.
“If you are sprinting for a ball, with the right mindset, you can sprint further than your opponent. The key is to be positive in life as always…you have to be positive in life every day, when you are asleep, day and night. That’s the beginning of good results. That’s the beginning of real professionalism,” he added.
