REGRETS

 

Regardless of your sport, we all have those days where we struggle with our training.  You wake up every day and you know what’s ahead of you  and what needs to be done.  However sometimes you also come up with a variety of excuses and reasons that get in your way.

Things that might get in the way without you ever realizing it and the first reason is telling yourself not to work hard when you know that you are slacking and could push yourself a little more.  The reason you don’t is that you have become uncomfortable and the problem with not working the process is that you are going to feel that same way in your races.  

It’s at that point that you need to go outside of your comfort zone and figure out what you are truly

capable of in the pool.  Here is why you should push that envelope not only when you are training but at all competitions also. 

There will be that day that you swim your last race, hang up the goggles, put the tech suit away and wake up the next morning without that chlorine smell in your hair and when that day arrives, you don’t want to look back with regrets.

You want to swim or walk away from swimming knowing that you put everything out there and you had nothing left in your tanks.  Don’t be the swimmer who asks, “if only I had worked harder or tried something different?”   Did I reach my true potential?  This should be your highest goal to walk away knowing that you gave your all each and every day.

Work hard in the pool and follow the process so that when you walk away you can do so with no regrets.
