Find out if you have the mindset needed to win gold or are you just an Olympic day dreamer?

Note: This quiz was developed in collaboration with Dr David Fletcher, a sports psychologist from Loughborough University. The questions were designed to highlight key mental characteristics that are important for achieving at the highest levels of competitive sport.

Well done! You have most of the mental strengths needed to be a good athlete, but you may struggle to challenge Usain Bolt and Co to get on the medals podium

Better than I thought

I was told to get training...
But I'm too tired.

Despite me being tired, I still try to get to the gym twice a week.

I never succeed though

I was told I am a daydreamer so I might move on from trying to take up exercises to daydream about it.

But you train right here at SubSim, it'll surely keep.

Your mindset is:
Day dreamer

Oh well... It may come as no surprise that you don't seem to have the mental habits of an Olympian but you can still enjoy sport and exercise as a way of keeping active.

Sounds right for a 100 year old man.

Yes I put in the age 100.
