Cheyenne Cousineau does not know her score at the
NCAA championships’ platform diving even after several weeks and she knows only
she has secured third place at All-America honors. She said she was
concentrating on the procedure of her dives because her coach demanded to focus
on how she was performing and not on the result. A sports psychiatrist was
helping Cousineau to sharpen her focus. She also told a University Miami
teamfellow that she remained under the water intentionally because she did not
want to hear the announced score. She adopted the same technique at the NCAA
meet.
Cousineau scored 318.05 points at NCAA finals.
Cousineau said on this she was able to do some good dives as she focused on
some key points taught by her coach and she is happy to secure third place.
Cousineau has earned All-America status second time because she finished fourth
in 2013. Her college career has finished but she will continue to dive to chase
her dream of playing 2016 Olympics with trials starting in Russia in a few
weeks.
Cousineau wants to participate in synchronized
diving at Olympics but she is not finding a partner at the moment. She said on
this, 10-meter synchronized diving has been a problem in the U.S. last year
because they were trying to find a match. She added she was really anxious
about it but a synchro camp is coming up where she can hopefully find a
partner. Cousineau’s performance at NCAA finals should make her thinking she
can perform not only in synchronized diving in Olympics.
