Over the past few weeks our
weekly volume has consistently increased with intensity to follow in the
upcoming days. Keep your mind on the books while remaining focused on daily
training with the following thoughts to assist your efforts in the pool and in
school. Develop the "self" coach. Believing in your abilities and create an unwavering commitment to achievement which is applicable in school and in the pool! No DOUBT, do something about it. Assist your teammates in a positive manner when you recognize an area that may be improved. Group coaching is extremely beneficial and will go a long way in assisting team unity. Be adaptable. Accept change as a way of life and embrace it, work on corrections in mechanics as well as your effort to the workout as a way to facilitate self-improvement. Sleep = Rest .. Weekends are a time for recovery from the week of training. Remain proactive with your studies for more hours of sleep during the week. Time Management... Reduce school stress with time management with your studies and assignments. Remember academic procrastination is the # 1 reason athletes fail in their training. Discipline....Uncompromised desire to achieve excellence in your behavior, with respect to swimming mechanics and your emotional state of mind. Communication.....Talk to your coaches, teachers and parents on a regular basis for assistance in your efforts. We are off to a tremendous start so keep up the efforts for excellent results at the end of the season. TED |
