RIO DE JANEIRO -- Channelling nerves and fear into a positive force isnt easy but Adam Peaty, like so many great champions, has become an expert at doing it.The Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth 100 metre title holder used to feel sick when he made finals. Now the pressure spurs him on.As I got more experienced and more mature, I kind of developed myself into a fight or flight [person] -- and Ive fought every time, he said after his successes in Brazil.And the transformation has been such that Peaty was described as a real thrill seeker by his family, someone who enjoys being on the edge.His pride and joy at home is his Mercedes AMG A45 sports car -- loud and very fast, according to girlfriend Anna Zair - and the boy who couldnt stand frightening films has turned into a man who loves thrillers.I dont get into the car, said mum Caroline. I did it once after a meal and I begged him not to drive fast -- he frightened the living daylights out of me.Peaty, then, clearly has a need for speed, and his swimming has been giving an indication of that for a while. But when he chooses to relax by forcing himself to cower on the sofa, he has taken it to another level.Adam likes to watch horror films, Zair said. Our favourite film is The Conjuring. Its the scariest film I have ever seen. It kept him awake for a few nights. Im fine, its Adam clinging on to me. He is the one who is terrified of them.His mother added: Adam used to hate horror films. He used to get pinned down by his brothers to watch them. One time he was watching the Exorcist and one of us came into the room and it scared the living daylights out of him.Perhaps the adrenaline junkie has always been a part of Peatys make up, he just needed someone to bring it out of him.His coaches have done that, working hard with him on his mental approach over the last couple of years. The way his ability to stand strong has spread to other aspects of his life suggests there will be no slipping back, no faltering in the face of fear for this impressive British champion.That was certainly the case when he took gold on Sunday and those who have tutored him can take a great chunk of credit again.Bill said something really vital to me, Peaty said, referring to British Swimming head coach Bill Furniss. He just said burn the boats. So you imagine doubt was a boat, you burn it and then attack.That phrase is exactly what Mel [Marshall, his City of Derby coach of seven years] said to me before the race and I knew exactly what it meant -- get rid of all doubt and then attack with everything youve got.The adrenaline Peaty seems to enjoy so much would have been one of the reasons he got just 30 minutes sleep in what remained of the night after he won gold.He has some time now before he competes in the 4x100m medley, which starts Friday, and the only challenge facing him other than his preparation, is how to compete with nan Mavis, who has become a social media sensation during the Games.Adam has not spoken to Mavis [yet], his mother explained. But he was quite peeved about the Twitter. It took Adam ages to get over 6,000 followers and Mavis got them over night! Wholesale Curry Shoes . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends.

Working the waiver wire is crucial to succeeding in fantasy basketball. With so many games, injuries and endless shifts in rotations throughout the season, we need to source stats from free agency in order to maximize our imaginary rosters.In this weekly series, we identify players available in more than 40 percent of ESPN leagues at each position. Some nominations are purely specialists capable of helping in one or two categories, while others deliver more diverse and important statistical offerings. Either way, we believe the names below -- ordered by ownership rate at each position -- can contribute positively to fantasy rosters.Point GuardJeremy Lin, Brooklyn Nets (Owned in 53.5 percent of ESPN leagues): A weekly inclusion in this column given his awesome offensive upside as the ball-dominant leader of a Brooklyn team that ranks second in the league in pace, Lin practiced this past Friday and is likely nearing a return from an extended absence with a lingering hamstring injury. For some context regarding Lins valuable offensive share, only Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Chris Paul, Damian Lillard and John Wall have averaged more touches than the 89.5 Lin has this season. Lin also ranks 15th in drives per game and fifth in passes per game, supporting our interest in stashing him for his impending return.Tyler Johnson, Miami Heat (45.5): Purely an exposure angle, Johnson has averaged a robust rate of 35.3 minutes per game with 14.2 shots over the past five games.Patty Mills, San Antonio Spurs (24.8): Regularly playing more minutes than Tony Parker, Mills true shooting percentage of 64.7 -- a measure of shooting efficiency that weights field goals, 3-point field goals and free throws -- ranks fourth among NBA guards with at least 15 minutes per game. Mills wont wow you in one category, but clean rates from a depth contributor can help roto rosters over the larger season sample.Sergio Rodriguez, Philadelphia 76ers (23.7): Jerryd Bayless wrist appears to be an enduring issue, while Rodriguez is behind only Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul and James Harden in passes per game this season. Such passing volume and ranking eighth in frontcourt touches per game in the entire league supports helpful 3-point and assist production for the Spanish import.Patrick Beverley, Houston Rockets (17.4): The Rockets offense is proving prolific with Beverley on board, while his strong defensive skill set has led to two steals per game in 30.3 minutes over the past six games, all starts. Steals prove entirely scarce, thus Beverley is valuable if even for this single statistical contribution, but we also find him hitting nearly two 3-pointers with nearly seven boards per game over this recent starting sample.Rockets offense has been HUMMING with Patrick Beverley on the floor this season. 120 ORtg ??????- Tom Haberstroh (@tomhaberstroh) December 10, 2016Shooting GuardWill Barton, Denver Nuggets (49.3): Sadly, Bartons headshot was updated from what was undeniably the best facial expression in the league. Then again, we can forgive this transition since hes back to a busy starting role for Denver. Over the past six games, Barton has averaged 34.9 minutes and 14 shots with an invaluable 1.7 steals over this sample. Barton has a usage rate of 22.5 over this span, healthy for an off-ball guard.Bojan Bogdanovic, Brooklyn Nets (28.0): With at least 13 points in 11 of his past 12 games, Bogdanovic is impressively 15th among guard-eligible players in points per touch on the season with an impressive 0.347 per touch. This rates higher than the likes of Devin Boooker, Zach LaVine and even Stephen Curry, to name a few efficiency peers.dddddddddddd With 4.3 3-point attempts per game and nearly 28 minutes per game on a volume-driven Brooklyn scheme, we find real value for Bogdanovic going forward.Tony Allen, Memphis Grizzlies (10.1): Already an elite source of steals -- he has averaged two per game over the past six games -- Allen is now adding increased offensive usage to his fantasy profile. With Mike Conley sidelined, Allen has averaged 12.3 points and nearly eight boards over the past six games, all starts.Small ForwardT.J. Warren, Phoenix Suns (38.6): Speaking of points per touch, Warren ranks sixth among NBA forwards with 0.409 per touch this season. Warren has resumed basketball activities after a long stretch sidelined with a head injury and could return and resume a valuable role for a team that leads the NBA in pace. If you can find room for both Lin and Warren, you can net key cogs on pace-driven offenses.DeMarre Carroll, Toronto Raptors (41.9): An example of an asset who provides a diverse set of stats and isnt particularly special in any on category, Carroll can help in steals (1.7 per game over the past seven games) and 3-pointers (2.4 per game over this sample). Dont get caught up in the fact Carroll averages just 12.7 points over this recent stretch, as hes an important part of the leagues top offense.Nick Young, Los Angeles Lakers (15.9): In an eight-game sample before going down to injury, Young averaged 3.1 3-pointers made per game for the fantasy-friendly Lakers scheme. This is an absolutely elite shooting pattern, and with Young back in practice, his impending return merits attention from even shallow leagues for rosters in need of shooting prowess.Power ForwardMarcus Morris, Detroit Pistons (55.8): Another example of a player who wont wow you in one statistical specialty but can help in a variety of categories, the most important metric for Morris value might just be minutes, as he has played 33.6 per game over his past eight. This exposure and uptick in shooting success -- hes hitting 2.3 3-pointers per game over this sample -- supports interest for the stretch-4 in even shallower fantasy formats.JaMychal Green, Memphis Grizzlies (35.4): The market isnt hip just yet to the awesome work on the glass Green is providing recently, as he has averaged 13.6 boards in 35 minutes per game over the past five, all starts.CenterNerlens Noel, Philadelphia 76ers (49.2): Noel is one of just three players in league history to average at least 10 points, eight rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals in each of his first two NBA seasons. The other two are Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson.?Heard of them? Noels return could see his usage clouded by the depth chart traffic in the frontcourt in Philly, but with Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor often resting, Noel could still see meaningful minutes.John Henson, Milwaukee Bucks (26.3): With Greg Monroe as persona non grata in the Bucks rotation, Henson has averaged 25 minutes and an invaluable 2.6 blocks per game over the past nine games -- all starts. Blocks are such a difficult stat to collect, so Hensons proven penchant for rim protection and his steady role merit more interest on the fantasy hoops market.Cody Zeller, Charlotte Hornets (21.6): Zeller has emerged as a vital member of the Hornets frontcourt, as he has delivered 1.2 blocks and is shooting 61.5 percent from the field over the past six starts.
