Lisa Carrington\u2019s documentary series crafted with the help of Under Armour and Southern Cross offers a fascinating insight into the mindset of a champion athlete. Here are a raft of things the four-part mini-series reveal about the two-time Olympic and ten-time world champion paddler.<\/strong><\/p>

Strong sense of identity<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Raised in the small beach town of Ohope in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, Lisa always had a very clear identity.<\/p>

\u201cI lived a simple and pure life,\u201d explains Lisa. \u201cI went to a small country school (Waiotahe Valley School) in Opotiki, where my parents (Pat and Glynis) still teach today. It was a very safe and secure place to be yourself.\u201d<\/p>

She was also instilled with some good principles by both mum and dad and recalls one such phrase by her father which she has tried to live up for much of her life.<\/p>

\u201cMy dad always used to say, \u2018be the best that you can be.\u2019 At the time It grated me and I was like, whatever. But he did not mean being competitive, but simply being the best version of yourself.\u201d<\/p>

Building resilience<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

From the age of ten she joined Whakatane Surf Life Saving Club, where she was to develop some critical skills for her future sporting development.<\/p>

Father Pat admits at first Lisa \u201cwould cry and didn\u2019t want to go\u201d but over time she started to enjoy life the club which became a positive outlet for Lisa\u2019s competitive nature.<\/p>

Crucially it also helped build the resilience and problem-solving skills she has taken into her glittering kayaking career.<\/p>

Lisa\u2019s sports psychologist David Galbraith says: \u201cHer surf lifesaving background gives her an innate resilience and composure in those extreme pressure moments.\u201d<\/p>

No overnight superstar<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Lisa took up kayaking at the age of 16 but although she showed great early potential she was not immediately a world-class star. On her debut for New Zealand at the 2007 World Junior Championships in the Czech Republic she placed 16th<\/sup> (in the K1 1000m and 17th <\/sup>in the K1 500m.<\/p>

\u201cAt that point I was good in New Zealand, I didn\u2019t have to be the best in the world. At that stage it was all about wearing the Silver Fern.\u201d<\/p>

Humility<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Lisa is a naturally modest person who never chases the limelight. She is down-to-earth and David believes this has been a source of strength in striving to reach a higher level.<\/p>

\u201cThe great champions often have that humility that helps with their progress,\u201d he says. \u201cIt helps a lot in terms of performance and how she can reach out to people.<\/p>

Great training responder<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Her long-time coach, Gordon Walker (see below), says from the early days of working with Lisa, it was apparent he was working with a special talent who had the ability to quickly improve.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ve worked with talent before, but the way she started to respond to training, I thought this is quite different and that\u2019s when I realised this is going to be somebody who is going to be pretty good. But no way did I ever think she could be as good as she is now.\u201d<\/p>

Commitment<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Her long-term partner, Bucky, reveals that in their ten years being together, Lisa has never missed a training session.<\/p>

\u201cShe left me waiting for the first date of 45 minutes because of training, and that kind of set the scene,\u201d he remarks.<\/p>

Work smartly<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Having never missed a training session there is little doubting Lisa\u2019s commitment and dedication. However, she is also 100 percent focused on getting the absolute best out of every session in order to continually improve.<\/p>

\u201cI don\u2019t just want to do things to make myself look good, there has to be a greater purpose,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s the easy way out if you are not prepared to do the hard work. That is where I put most of the value, in the hard work. If the work doesn\u2019t have any integrity and authenticity, I\u2019m not fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>

Even today she strives to be the best she can in every session and still regularly sets PBs \u2013 incredible for an athlete who has enjoyed ten years at the top.<\/p>

Physical attributes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Lisa\u2019s biomechanics coach Greg Pain believes that not only her physical prowess but the way she applies force in the boat is \u201cincredible.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhat she can achieve from a stability aspect is unlike any athlete I\u2019ve ever worked with by a mile, she is off the chart<\/p>

\u201cFrom a female sprint paddler\u2019s perspective, she is not that big but the numbers she pushes are absolutely mind-blowing.\u201d<\/p>

This is a point echoed by Gordon. \u201cHer strength and her power for someone of her size is extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>

Versatility <\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Lisa is the reigning K1 world 200m and 500m champion, which in some respects is like blending the skills of an athletics sprinter with that of a middle-distance athlete.<\/p>

\u201cShe is like a hybrid engine in that she has got good endurance but also good speed and power,\u201d explains Gordon. \u201cYou are normally either one type of athlete or the other, she is probably the ultimate hybrid.\u201d<\/p>

Robust body<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

As a double Olympic and 10-time world champion, Lisa has racked up year after year of consistent success on the global stage. One key element to being able to sustain such top level performances is her resistance to injury.<\/p>

\u201cWhat excites me most is her injury level is really low,\u201d adds Greg, who says her body can consistently take heavy loads without breaking down.<\/p>

Courage<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Gordon says that because Lisa is the quickest paddler in the world it demands enormous guts to continually set the pace in races and lead from the front.<\/p>

\u201cHer style demands courage,\u201d says Gordon. \u201cThe evolution of her is a paddler is she has become more courageous.\u201d<\/p>

Mental maturity<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Lisa\u2019s sport psychologist David Galbraith believes Lisa has long possessed the mental skills to excel at the highest level.<\/p>

\u201cMy role has been really easy,\u201d he adds. \u201cHer level of thinking, her level of analysis all of those healthy frameworks that are needed for maturity she has had that (for a long time). She is the consummate professional in terms of how she applies herself to her business.\u201d<\/p>

Comfortable in being uncomfortable<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>Despite being instinctively wary of stepping into situations that make her feel uncomfortable she has learned that she must do so in order to grow as a person.<\/p>

\u201cWhat I\u2019ve learned is when I lean in, I get my most mental growth,\u201d she adds.<\/p>

The complete athlete<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Lisa is very special athlete with the full suite of skills to draw upon to attain success.<\/p>

\u201cShe pulls together the web of high performance together better than anyone,\u201d adds David. \u201cShe is a master of her trade. There are only two or three other athletes over the past 15 years that have that framework, they are different beasts, so different to everyone else.\u201d<\/p>
