The swimmers who make it all share the same few things, and you can copy every one… In this one I break down our latest team call: Liam's week training under Bob Bowman, how to show up to camp ready, and locking in your race-day mindset. I'm dropping the link to his Skool post in the comments below. Here's what's inside: 👉 What it's really like to be coached by Bob Bowman 👉 Why weeks out of the water cost more than you think 👉 The one race-morning mistake you can't afford 👉 The 3 things every successful swimmer has in common Here's the replay. 👇 Drop your take: is taking 2, 3, 4, (5??) full weeks OUT of the water over summer smart recovery, or are you handing your rivals a head start you'll never get back??!!

So Luana doesn't like to shower because there's water coming in her eyes... Solved the problem by giving her sunglasses to shower. How badass does she look? 😎 But also, showering has become a fun activity for her. What's changed? Nothing really. Her eyes still get wet right? But it's mental. 100% mental. It's a trick that gets a certain result. And it reveals that if we believe something strongly, it becomes real for us. What mental tricks do you have for everyday life? I'll share some of mine in the comments after I read yours!! 👇🔥

And why disappointment makes you a faster swimmer (camp talk from Mallorca). ***WATCH RECORDING HERE*** Disappointment after a race isn't something to block out of your life… In this one we break down how to handle the tough emotions in swimming, why process beats chasing a PB, and how to actually get faster. Here's what's inside: 👉 When you really learn more, when you win or when you don't 👉 The measure of progress that keeps you happy in the sport 👉 The training truth every fast swimmer already lives by 👉 The 3 recovery priorities in the exact right order We referenced the in-depth taper training we ran for the previous cycle and I'm attaching it here: https://www.youtube.com/live/aDauT5T6vkg?si=mIhCY2Pk6H0GltRw

I'm curious please vote below. Depending on the votes, Yul and I might be running a special training for swimmers and parents who want to switch to another club. We have been part of many successful transitions and we know what to do (and what to avoid!!) to find a great team & coach. Vote HERE 👇

I've started turning some of what I teach into proper articles you can come back to anytime. First two are live on the blog: How to prepare your swimmer for disappointment. Disappointment is the one thing I can promise you in this sport. How you prep for it decides whether it builds your swimmer or breaks them. https://swimpros.com/post/prepare-swimmer-for-disappointment How to support your swimmer without adding pressure. The most devoted parents are often the ones accidentally adding the most pressure. This is the parent's real race-day job, before, during and after. https://swimpros.com/post/support-swimmer-without-pressure One more drops tomorrow.. can a swim camp actually help a shy or anxious swimmer? I'll add it here when it goes live. Give them a read, and if one lands, drop a comment and tell me what to go deeper on.
