Three time Olympic swimming champion, Summer McIntosh, says her mentality is one of her greatest strengths. The Canadian made her Olympic debut at the Tokyo Games aged just 14 and in five short years looks destined to become one of the greatest swimmers of all time. Now 19, and having won four Gold medals at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, she tells BBC Sport’s Sophia Hartley and John Bennett about how she used the disappointment of missing out on a world record in the 200-metre butterfly at the Paris Olympics as motivation.

Leading sports psychologist, Dr. Jim Taylor, explains some of the tools he’s used to help Olympians such as Summer to overcome their fears and reach their goals.
