Are you Swimming Faster in Practice than in Competition? Here's Why
There are few things more infuriating for a swimmer than not being able to tap into the well of talent and ability when it matters most. When your results don’t match your training it’s difficult not to experience those familiar doubts and fears: Maybe I’m not that good at this. Perhaps I don’t have any talent. I’ll never be as successful as I want to be. All that training was for nothing.
It can be doubly infuriating when you cannot pinpoint the reason for this perceived shortcoming, which only ends up fueling those doubts, making you feel like you will simply never swim up to the potential you exhibit in your workouts.
Olivier Poirier-Leroy discusses the difference between training and competition and offers ways to adjust your mental outlook to ensure you reach your potential in competition.
