Daly, 30, told Business Insider that the most important thing to do while traveling is to try to maintain some kind of routine.
He started diving Age 7 Daly made his Olympic debut in 2008 aged just 14 and said his body has understandably changed since then, which has affected his availability to travel.
“When I was younger, traveling between 10 and 15 years old, it didn’t really matter,” he said, “but as you get a little older, and now that you’ve been an athlete for 23 years, you have to start thinking about how to best take care of yourself while traveling.”
The concept of routine is also a key factor in keeping him disciplined during training and focused during competitions.
“I think the only way to stay motivated and determined and stay committed to what you have to do is a sense of routine. It’s all about sticking to a routine, knowing what you’re going to do and when you’re going to do it and being consistent,” he said. “If you’re consistent with your routine, eventually you’ll achieve your goals.”
So if you normally like to go for a walk in the morning, plan to do the same while you’re on vacation. That way, you’ll have something familiar to do while you’re away from home, and it’ll be easier to continue part of that routine when you get home.
