In 2013 we published numerous articles that discussed performance in sport from different angles. Some were more unconventional than others. Below three unusual ways to race faster in 2014 but, believe it or not, still do have a scientific basis. 

1. Use a red boat: "The color of the boat is the most important thing"
2. Have sex before the race: "Sex wins - sex before sport has its benefits"
3. A little bit harder when you are already born: "Olympic Gold begins with good genes, experts say". (But you can ensure your children are born with good genes)

And if you find the above a bit unorthodox you can still visit our training sections:

• Sports psychology section
• The training section under slalom
• The training section under sprint
• Or the training section under freestyle
