"We prepared a lot for the finals, discussed how the mind affects the body and how we could manage the mind better for better execution of the technique. We have made good progress in the time we got, and I am satisfied with it. They need to focus on the process and not think much about the results. Appearing in the Olympics is different from other events," he added.
