Abstract
A lifetime of training and dedication. Four years of planning. One moment for athletes to prove themselves to the world.
At the Paris Olympics, elite athletes and their coaches put the finishing touches on four years of meticulous planning and training. In a few weeks, Paralympians and their coaches will do the same.
We tend to focus on athletes – their stories, sacrifices, triumphs and heartbreaks.
But we often pay less attention to the people behind the athletes, including coaches and support teams who, just like fans, share the rollercoaster of highs and lows with athletes.
