Hey, Ted Docs Daily listeners, I'm Elise Hugh.

Today, we have an episode of another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, handpicked by us for you.

Every two years, the world turns its attention to the Olympics, and this year is no different.

The Winter Olympic Games

started in northern Italy just a few days ago, and as we all watch the athletes prepare and

compete, it's wild how they're able to stay so focused. What can we learn from Olympians,

even if we never compete at that level. To dig into this question, we're

turning to an episode of Good Sport from 2023. Host Jody Avergan talks to NBA All-Star

great Steph Curry about what the zone is, that elusive, almost mythical place an athlete goes,

where focus is laser sharp, nothing can go wrong, and time just seems to

vanish. Then Jody works on his mental game with sports psychologist Dr. Nicole Detling and follows

Olympic biathlete Claire Egan in a step-by-step guide on how to foster mental resilience after

failure. If you want more sports content from TED or just want to see the world through a new lens,

check out good sport wherever you get your podcasts.

where you just do everything perfectly.

You sink every shot.

Nothing can stop you.
