POSITIVE THINGS THINGS TO SAY EACH DAY #1

 As we have learned that past few weeks is that to REALLY move forward with your swimming, you need to make some positive changes in the way you approach the process.


When you step onto the blocks for a race, are you really ready to dive in and be the best that you can be at that moment in time?  You can say all the right things but as I explained to the kids this morning that when they do this one cheer that begins with I believe, they need to really believe it.  It all just a lot of words and noise if they don’t, really believe down deep in there belly’s. 

All of this ties in with making changes in your mindset and these are things you need to say to yourself every day.

The very first thing you need to say to yourself is, “I am the best.”  This is not cockiness, it’s a belief in yourself that you have trained hard for this race.  You trust yourself and the work you have put in, you don’t shy away from any part of the race, you fear nothing and you doubt nothing.

You walk with an air of confidence and determination, you stop letting others tell you what you can and can’t do because you are the best.  The best is not necessarily being better than everyone else, it’s about being the best version of YOU.  When you believe in yourself positives outcomes will soon follow.  Start working on this today
