POSITIVE CHANGES. episode #4

 

So, we’ve gone through some changes that you can make in your head to help your swimming, but what are some changes you can make in your actual training to help.

It starts with the old saying, “ you’re going to get out of it what you put into it.”  What I like to say is “ garbage in, garbage out.”  You have a choice on what you want out of it and the choices you make will have consequences later on.

SHOWUP: Before you can improve anything in the pool, you have to first show consistently.  Showing up means being ready to go on time (not on your timetable)

IMPROVE:  Trust the process day in and day out.  Be prepared to improve each day from the moment you get wet.

STEP by STEP:  Set some small goals for each workout and focus on those rather than one big goal for the day.  Pay attention to your technique as you move through practice especially when you become fatigued. To achieve big things, you start by focusing in on the little things during workout such as;

• underwater's off EVERYwall.
• breakouts off every wall with no breath.
• being more aggressive in and out of turns.
• Finishing into the wall hard on every swim.

Stop going through workouts aimlessly without a roadmap.  Be prepared, build a plan, trust your plan and than go out and execute it.  

Show up each day.
