Brianna Rollins-McNeal: Daily Routine

With 7am journaling, double training sessions, and strict bedtime recovery, Brianna Rollins-McNeal’s routine is built for podium finishes.

There’s a lot involved in becoming an Olympic athlete. On top of the enormous amount of hours they need to put into the physical training that’s required to be the very best in a fied; there’s also the sacrifices of being away from loved ones, making sure they get enough sleep and recovery, and staying on top of their nutrition at all times.

For American track and field gold medallist Brianna Rollins-McNeal, she found that taking care of her mental health was equally important as all these physical aspects of her training. “Track and field entails mental training just as much as physical training. Being that it is an individual sport it tests a lot of patience, self-awareness, and mental capacity,” she said in an interview with Well Being Trust.
