Imagine this: Your swimmer just misses the podium by 0.01 seconds. 😩 Or they fly in practice but sink on race day. 🤯 Or they watch other kids zoom off the wall while they feel stuck. 😬 Yeaa. We’ve seen it. A LOT. For the last 5 years, we’ve been helping swimmers finally perform under pressure—so they can swim fast when it actually counts. And now? We’re about to change EVERYTHING. 💥 March 16, 7 PM CET (6PM UK) – We reveal it all. 💥 No replay. 💥 Only 100 spots. First come, first serve. If your swimmer was born in 2011 or earlier, they NEED to hear this. Register for the Zoom meeting here. Let’s go. This is the moment we’ve been building toward. And for those who know me, I mean what I say. – David Karasek & @Yul Münger (MindGym Founders)

The first weekend of counties have been and gone for Ava. 4 long course pbs out of 6 races with a 4th in the 100m back and 7th in the 400IM. Unfortunately her 50m fly and breast were off her pb from last year, so work to be done on her sprint events. She has a full programme of 8 events to get her teeth into to complete her Essex Age Groups 2025 campaign this weekend. Let’s hope it’s another positive one.

Okay, parents, let’s talk about something awkward. You know those moments when you’re watching your swimmer at practice, and you think, "I could fix this in, like, two seconds if they’d just LISTEN TO ME?” Yeah, about that. Here’s the deal: To your swimmer, your advice is like broccoli. Full of vitamins, nutrients, and wisdom... but also the thing they instinctively shove off the plate. Why? Because you’re their parent. And when it comes to swimming, parents are automatically coded as: 1. Emotionally biased. 2. Totally out of touch with modern swimming techniques (even if you’re not). 3. Trying too hard. The result? Everything you say—even if it’s Olympic-level genius—goes in one ear, out the other, and splashes into the pool drain. But wait, it gets better. Even if they do hear you, there’s a good chance you don’t have the exact process to get them from “nervous wreck in the call room” to “calm, focused competitor.” You know the destination. But the roadmap? That’s a whole different thing. Now here’s where it gets hilarious (in a “laugh so you don’t cry” kind of way): If someone else—someone cool, someone who’s not you—tells them the exact same thing you’ve been saying, they’ll nod sagely and say, “Wow, that’s so true.” What? Yep. It’s the law of parenting: You’re broccoli, but someone else can be pizza. So, here’s my advice: Don’t sweat it. Lean into this dynamic. Let someone else—like, say, an ex-Olympian who gets your kid—step in and say the same thing in a way that lands. Because sometimes, the best way to be a great parent is to invite help from outside. Feel seen? 😁 Put your thoughts in the comments below. PS: Only 5 spots left for the "Call Room Mastery" live training tomorrow.

Yesterday i had a monthly swimming competition in my city, had to swim 400 IM, before i swam 400 IM my PB was (5:16,09), but after I broke my PB practically by 9 seconds(5:07,28), crazy how still managed to swam this good, because my trainer said that my technique was such good but still I'm proud of myself, oh and i think the last time I swam 400 IM was 3 months ago

I did the anxiety advantage course to get more of an insight into the program and journey that my daughter is already on. The mini course was very useful for me to remind me of what is in the program, as well as reaffirm my own personal views on the importance of training the mind. Aswell as how it will help our kids achieve their goals both in and outside the pool. I came across the mindgym while trying to find something that would help my daughter learn skills to manage her anxiety which has been an issue for her throughout her youngnlife both in and outside the pool. As swimming is so important for her and this tied both managing anxiety and swimming together I was more than happy to give it a try. Olivia has started to thrive in swimming again she is having FUN and is learning new skills. Consistency is still the challenge but we continue to work on that but I can only say good things about the work that David does.
