Cream and Sugar. No coffee for me, thanks! A muffin and juice. Coffee, all I need is coffee. Egg white omelet and sausages. Bowl of cereal. At least 8. Take action and get some extra work done.

By finding a way to diffuse the tension. By readying the mind. If you can become a student of the sport, you might be golden, so to speak.

Perhaps the easiest sport to try, though, might be cross-country skiing again, hear me out. Just ask Paul Bragiel, the venture capitalist and self-proclaimed "chunky, out-of-shape computer nerd" who decided, in , that he had to achieve his childhood goal of qualifying for the Olympics.

To do this, he told NPR that he looked at every team sport to decide which had the most flexible qualification rules, and determined they were downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, bobsled, and luge.

By process of elimination, he turned to cross-country skiing and even moved to Colombia to better his chances of qualifying. He didn't qualify, but he came pretty close. Of course, there's more to take into consideration besides just training, lest we forget that Bragiel is a venture capitalist who was able to uproot his life and move to another continent to fulfill his Olympic dreams.

Training is a financial commitment, and while many high-profile Olympic stars get sponsorships , newcomers — and athletes playing lesser-known sports — are left to budget for themselves.

And remember archery, which can require just four years of training? Running, meanwhile, is seen as the most affordable Olympic sport , but it's one of the hardest, too. Just ask the triathlon athletes who are notably collapsing at the finish line.

And despite all the evidence telling us that, no, you'll probably never be an Olympian if you spend most of your days working from two monitors, binging Netflix shows, or just happen to have been a gymnast in middle school, we all like to dream — especially when Olympians make it look so easy so much of the time.

So, if you're really, genuinely looking to make your Olympic dreams come true, you should start training — and saving — right now.
