  • I'm at the US Olympic Training Center for the next two weeks with my college swim team as we prepare for the NCAA swimming championships in a couple of months. In this video, I take you around the Olympic Training Center from an Athlete's perspective including the swimming pool, cafeteria, and dorms at the US OTC.
    Make sure to tune in next week as I take you around a day in the life of an athlete at the US Olympic Training Center! Comment down below if you have anything else you want to see while I'm at the Olympic Training Center and I'll do my best to show it!!
    Go Bears!

    Typed in ‘Olympic training center’ and this popped up. My son is a swimmer so we watched this for some dream building. Was hoping you were a swimmer, and you are. Cool stuff

    I lived there for about three years in the early 90's. I was a resident in the weightlifting program. So much has changed.

    Great video! Back in the day, my college swim team (along with coach Phil Hansel) stayed/trained at the OTC for a couple of weeks. Really cool experience. I still remember swimming in the flume with some sort of mask apparatus over my face/mouth and getting my finger pricked every few minutes. 😧

    Hi Kyle!
    I've been swimming for a couple years now and I finished top in state in a few of my events last year but I am a bit nervous. I have states coming up this year and its my first time having to compete with 13-14 year olds(I turned 13 a couple days ago). I'm super nervous to be swimming against kids that have a lot more experience me, and I already qualified for state by time, but I'm scared I am gonna get smoked. I'm wondering how you prepare for important meets where you feel there are a lot of expectations on you and how to keep calm during the meets when you might be a bit nervous.
    Much appreciated!
    Also I love your channel keep up the great content!

    • @KyleMillis
      @KyleMillis  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks so much for the support! Great question. First off, congratulations on your recent success. I would say to try and remind yourself of your past success when in doubt, success in practice or at meets. I think that you have to try and remain in your own lane when swimming against those faster than you and focus on what you can do to improve your own swimming.

    • @jonathanbodea7932
      @jonathanbodea7932 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So I have to focus on myself and worry about myself more than what other people are doing because that's the only way I'm gonna improve. Thank you so much and your tiktok investing advice is pretty helpful, too. I look up to you and can't wait to see more of your videos in the future!

    I love that you can have your meals custom made. Are there figure skating facilities there? I have heard of a few elite skaters that trained in Colarado Springs. Also do NBA players only train there if they are going to compete later at a high altitude?

    Hey Kyle!
    I’ve been having difficulty recently with training, I’ve been feeling burnt out and am struggling to find motivation. It feels like a domino effect with the last week. After making sectionals recently, I’m wondering how I can get to the next level(futures). Any help or advice would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    • @KyleMillis
      @KyleMillis  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Burn out is a common problem, I myself face even from time to time. The things that keep me focused are my goals, those around me supporting me such as teammates and coaches, and knowing that when I do achieve those standards, the feeling I will get from that.

    This was really interesting. Is this facility funded fully by the US government? Or do you have to earn a bursury to do a camp there. I did a skating camp at Lake Placid a while back - this makes me wish I had done a tour of the Olympic facilities.

    • @KyleMillis
      @KyleMillis  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @nightflyer3242
      @nightflyer3242 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, the USOPC and its facilities are not funded by the federal government. The United States is perhaps the only Olympic team in the world that's private ran and funded. All of the stuff you saw were paid by sponsors, donations, and fees.
