well it depends if you are 15 now then l would
find what you are reasonably good at and enjoy doing then train your butt off.

If you are going to be 15 then you can not do it because you have to be 16

1. Assess ur physical condition
The first step is to determine what shape u r currently in. This will help u to select the best sport for you, as well as the training program u will need to follow.

If u r 35 years old & ur favorite activity is sitting on the couch with a six pack & a bag of chips, u probably r not cut out to become an Olympic gymnast. However, if u r willing to make a few lifestyle changes, there r a number of sports u could successfully compete in. You can get an assessment of ur current level of fitness by visiting a local gym & consulting with one of the trainers.

2. Choose a sport
Many athletes select a sport based on what they enjoy doing & what they r good at. If u already have an athletic hobby, such as target shooting or judo, u r already one step ahead.

If u r an older athlete, u r more likely to achieve success in a sport that focuses on ''mental'' rather than purely ''physical'' strength. Some examples of mental sports include: archery, canoe/kayak, equestrian, fencing, sailing, shooting, & table tennis.

3. Find a place to train
Once u decide which sport to pursue, u need to start developing ur skills. Join a local athletic club or visit a recreation center so u can practice & take classes. Another good place to train, depending on ur sport, is ur local high school or university.

4. Join ur National Governing Body
A crucial step that will get u to the next level is to join ur National Governing Body (NGB). The NGB conducts National Championships, maintains a National Team, & often supports various developmental programs for athletes. You can find the website for ur NGB by going to http://usolympicteam.com.

5. Start competing
If u have not already started competing at the club stage, now is the time to do it. Your NGB hosts a variety of tournaments that start on the local level. It is important in many sports to build a national rating by competing at certain competitions. Your NGB will be able to tell u when & where u should be competing.

6. Get a coach
This step should be taken at the same time as u start competing. A coach can help u develop ur skills, so u can progress to the next level of ur sport. A good place to start looking for a coach is ur local training facility. The people who teach classes at the facility can recommend someone to coach you, or they may be able to coach u themselves.

7. Visualize ur success
A training technique used by top athletes is visualization. According to one theory, if u see a perfect golf swing 1,000 times in ur mind, it is better practice than actually swinging the golf club 10,000 times.

If you're a diver, u can play out the entire sequence of a perfect dive in ur mind. Imagine yourself climbing up the ladder, taking each step toward the end of the platform, launching yourself in the air, performing each flip & twist perfectly, & entering the water without a splash. Then see yourself coming out of the water to a roaring crowd, toweling off, flashbulbs popping. The more detail u can add to ur visualizations - including imagining any sounds, smells, & physical sensations - the better ur visualizations will prepare u to achieve the result u want.

8. Find financing
At some point u may be ready to start training full-time, which means u will have to find a way to support yourself financially. Elite level athletes have several options including: attend college on an athletic scholarship, become a resident athlete at an Olympic Training Center, or obtain corporate sponsorships. Your NGB can give u information about becoming a resident athlete.

You may be able to obtain corporate sponsorships through ur employer, by contacting the marketing department of other companies, or by having a sports marketing agency contact companies for you.

9. Attend the national championships
Most NGBs run their National Championships in a similar format to the Olympic Games so it will be good practice for you. Often, the National Team coach is present at the National Championships, & will be able to tell u what u need to do to make the Olympic Team in ur sport.

Many individual sports open their National Championships to any competitor who has achieved some minimum qualification at the local or regional level so u may have a better chance of competing than u think.

10. Qualify for the Olympics
Each sport has a different process for qualifying for the national Olympic Team. Athletes in team sports (such as basketball or soccer) tend to be chosen by the national coaching squad via their national reputation, national ranking or through results at previous competitions. Some team sports also have an Olympic tryout.

Athletes in individual sports (such as track & field or tennis) compete for a spot on the Olympic Team through qualifying tournaments or their national rank

Practice practice practice

pick a sport, try swimming; lot is of young kids make it in the olympics at even 14 for certain races. But you need to be a prodigy
