Heartbreaking: American gymnast Sunisa Lee Just Passed Away at the Aged of 21….see..more…

fact, Suni has a unique competition ritual: She likes to visualize her routines before bed.

“I love visualizing before I go to sleep, my routines and all the possibilities of things that can happen,” she told Women’s Health at the Team USA Media Summit in April. “Gymnastics is very, very mental sport.”

When she’s laying in bed, the 21-year-old goes through every event in her mind. “It’s funny because I’ll do some routines—it’s not intentional, it just happens—but it’s me splitting the beam or crashing on my head and I’m like, ‘Okay, this is not good,’” she said. “So then I start over. I start over until I get the perfect routine and then I go to sleep.”

Suni says having a good mindset is “half” of what it takes to excel in gymnastics. “If you’re focused on the one wrong thing or that little hint of doubt, it can send you off,” she said. “If I were to do this in a competition, then I know exactly what to do, because I did it in my head already.
