Summary
Are you making mistakes in training and racing that slowly chip away at your ability to perform? Maybe things just feel tougher than they should all the time? Today, we look at how athletes put themselves behind the 8 Ball and continue to make things harder than they need to be. There is stress in tension and if you’re putting too much on yourself, it will eventually bite you in The Ass. It’s all about knowing your body, having confidence in your ability, and knowing what you’re capable of. Stop trying to force everything and be better at tuning into the moment.
Topics:
- Holidays and Races on Fridays??
- Stress when the stakes are high
- Forcing bad decisions
- Meditation analogy
- High expectations ruined
- It only matters on race day
- It’s all about confidence
- Sam Laidlow undertrained
- Burning matching in training and in racing
- Negative split mentality
- Take advantage of the heat
- Are you always forcing?
- Respect the warm up
- Anxiety in the swim line is written on your face
- There’s a lot of stress in tension
