Triathlon world champion Dorian Coninx aims to release status pressure

\n\nDorian Coninx, world triathlon champion, recently shared his feelings about the pressure he feels due to his status in the sport and expressed a desire to "get rid of the pressure that comes with being a world triathlon champion."\n\n

“Clean slate”: a strategy to move forward better

\n\nConinx is aware that carrying the title of world champion Triathlon can have significant psychological consequences, increasing pressure and expectations. However, the athlete said he wanted “make a clean slate” of this pressure in order to concentrate on his performance rather than his reputation.\n\nPlacing too much importance on your title and the judgment of others can be a real handicap for an athlete. Hence the idea of ​​making a clean slate, starting from scratch and focusing solely on your sport and your training.\n\n

A desire to prioritize pleasure over play

\n\nAccording to Coninx, the main challenge is not the competition itself, but managing the pressure associated with it. He wants to break away from the race for performance at all costs to concentrate on the aspect that he likes most in his sport: pleasure.\n\nThe athlete firmly believes that the key to success lies in the balance between seriousness and the pleasure of competition. His title of triathlon world champion should not make him forget that basically, he practices this sport out of passion.\n\n

A personal choice, a collective ambition

\n\nConinx is aware that his choice to put aside the pressure linked to his status can be seen by some as a lack of ambition. However, he insists that favoring the pleasure of competition rather than performance at all costs does not mean giving up.\n\nOn the contrary, it allows him to maintain his motivation and keep a healthy perspective in the face of competition. Ultimately, this not only serves his own interests, but also those of his team and the entire triathlon world. \n\n
