Dear all, My coach has warned me: People will not appreciate nor will they take action when you give away stuff for free. I didn't want to believe it. I built this group to over 1200 swimmers and swim parents but I've just become more and more disappointed :( So I've decided to close this group in the next 3 days. Our paid program still runs on Skool, so you can just DM me here on Skool if you have questions. My email is [email protected] Wishing you and your child all the best moving forward!! See you at the pool, David Karasek PS: Most swimmers (and parents!) that come to me have to clue how fast and effective my mental training is. That's why we now offer a free 2-week trial where your swimmer can EXPERIENCE the full power of our paid program (including a 1-1 session with me) and get results as soon as this weekend. If you're interested in that, email me and we take it from there :)

Since we got a lot of IM-ers in the MindGym I thought I share another one from the summer. This was a pressure cooker!!! @Gartmann Gartmann had trained well all season but this summer was going to be different: He qualified for the 2024 Summer European Championships in Belgrade. That was a big breakthrough for Gian-Luca Gartmann. And at the same time... It seemed scary. As the big race got closer, doubt and insecurity crept in... We mostly worked on his breathing, not freaking out during taper when something didn't go as planned, and visualization. He then went to Belgrade and crushed it at his first Euro Champs. So happy for him and he continues to perform great. We'll hopefully see him on TV at the World Champs in Singapore in the summer 2025 🚀😃 Here are all his PBs: https://www.swimrankings.net/index.php?page=athleteDetail&athleteId=4813079 And that's his personal website if you're curious: https://www.gianlucagartmann.com/
