Coach's Corner - Positive Self-Talk
By Coach David Tourigny
The
most important thing about swimming, other than your actual swimming, is
your mental attitude. However, in some cases your mental attitude can be
even more important than your actual swimming. Your mental attitude can
affect your practice, the outcome of your races, your technique, your
racing strategy, your general ability to swim well, and even your
friends and teammates’ attitudes and races. This is why it is very
important that all swimmers on Storm try to have a good positive mental
attitude.
To continue reading ‘Positive Self-Talk,’ see the article in the
Spring
newsletter.
