American sporting legend Apolo Ohno
spent his early life as a swimmer. He realized from an early age he
had a natural ability for various sports, and at the age of twelve he
became the Washington state swimming champion for his age category.
However despite being a talented swimmer, he eventually changed
hobbies to focus on his true love, inline speed skating. This was a
sport he had fallen I love with earlier in life, and it was to prove
a very practical career move, as by the year 2010, he was competing
in the winter Olympics, where he won a gold medal for the United
States. After reaching this high point, he made the surprise move of
deciding to quit competing professionally, and he officially retired
from the sport, at which point he could easily have lived comfortable
and happily ever after in a life of obscurity. However, this was not
to be the end for Apolo Ohno. Along with his sporting ambitions, he
had always had a strong desire to become involved in the business
world; some people are naturally drawn to high risk, high reward
activities, like professional sports and business, and Apolo Ohno is
one of them. He went on to found a company by the name of Allysian
Sciences.
The idea behind the company had come to him while he was
competing professionally; he had realized quite early on that his
performance on a given day could be quite drastically affected by his
mental condition. Even if he was in perfect shape, sometimes he
didn’t perform as well as he knew he could due to feeling mentally
sluggish, over anxious or under confident. He realized that if there
were some kind of supplement that could combat this kind of mental
activity without affecting the physicality or muscular structure of
the body, it could be an enormous hit. Upon his retirement, he set
about his new mission, and hired scores of the best scientists,
doctors and sports experts to develop and perfect his new idea. It
took five years of extensive research and hard work, but in early
2015 the company finally started producing and releasing its miracle
product, which has so far taken the world of athletics by storm.
Athletes left right and center are snapping up his supplement, and
Ohno is deeply proud of what he has achieved.
