That's what former Olympic athlete Eloise Wellings thought after taking a trip out west.
In 2016, she made the finals of both the 5000m and 10,000m races at 2016 Summer Olympics and tried to impart her knowledge onto some of the school's most gifted athletes last week.
"It was really great and I think they got a lot out of it. We obviously went through a little physical session and took them through some drills and then a main running session," she said.
"We had athletes from all different sports. There was a swimmer and soccer players, touch football and runners. I wanted to make it very accessible to all athletes so although we did a fair bit of running, we did talk about the mental skills that you can use throughout all sports. How to deal with nerves and how to handle pressure and how to overcome disappointment was all part of it."
Wellings has spent the past few years speaking at numerous schools across the country and alongside psychology researcher Rory Darkins developed a presentation called 'unlock your Olympian mindset'.
"The physical side is only half the battle, so if you can learn the mental skills from a really young age then I think the kids will enjoy sport more," she added.
"Sport is a rollercoaster ride and there's no guarantees and they need to be flexible and resilient and deal with things that come up. The more tools they have to deal with challenges in their sporting life, the better it will be for their sporting future."
After spending the day handing out awards and teaching students the tricks of the trade, Wellings believes those OAG kids have what it takes.
"It was a great bunch of kids and it was really fun to hang out with all of the school community," she added.
"You know that they've worked really hard on school culture and there was a beautiful, encouraging, nurturing spirit about the whole community and it definitely showed through the young people with their enthusiasm and their confidence and it was actually quite remarkable."
She also spoke about the Love Mercy Foundation which she helped start more than a decade ago which helps communities in Northern Uganda overcome poverty. Anyone wishing to make a donation can visit their website.
