A SWIMMERS ๐ŸŠ‍♀️ ALPHABET


Although your first thought might have been, “Oh no school work” but no after reading an article I thought it might be fun to put the alphabet in a swimmers framework.  As much time you put into the pool with all the hard physical work we sometimes forget about the mental side of the sport.  Let’s shine a light on the “swimmers alphabet”,  we will keep it brief and come back to the letters that you want to dive into, so here we go;

A- is for anxiety ๐Ÿ˜ฃ
B- building a mindset๐Ÿ‘
C- confidence ๐Ÿ˜Ž
D- dedication 
E- emotional control ๐Ÿฅฒ '
F- fear ☠️
G- goals๐ŸŠ‍♀️
H- having fun ๐Ÿคฉ 
I- injuries and understanding them๐Ÿš‘
J- juggling ๐Ÿคน‍♀️ everything
K- keeping the peace๐Ÿ‘จ‍๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿ‘ฆ‍๐Ÿ‘ฆ
L- leadership 
M- motivation
N- negative self-talk ๐Ÿคฎ
O- overtraining 
P- perfectionist ๐Ÿง–๐Ÿผ‍♂️
Q- quality practice ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿป‍♂️๐ŸŠ‍♀️
R- resiliency ๐Ÿง—๐Ÿผ‍♀️
S- stress management

W- winning ๐Ÿฅ‡ 
X- X factor ( the variable needed to obtain a successful outcome)

As you can see we have already discussed a few of these topics and how it may relate to your swimming.  If you had to come up with an alphabet for your personal swimming, what would it look like?  Pull out those journals and put on your thinking  ๐Ÿง caps.
