Help your support team understand you (Anna Simcic)

HPSNZ Athlete Life Advisor and ex swimmer Anna Simcic has won 3 Commonwealth Games medals (1990 and 1994), one of them gold.  She represented New Zealand at two Olympic Games (1992, and 1996), finishing 5th, and 6th in the 200m backstroke and has been a short course world record holder.  

She was just 18 years of age at her first Commonwealth Games but had a strong support team around her that not only helped, but also understood just exactly what she was trying to achieve.
Anna talks to us about how you can get your support team to understand you and how it was for her as a high performance athlete building to her pinnacle event.
