for the past two weeks my swim club has been tapering for an important meet this saturday 2/18.. today (2/16) was suppose to be the last day of tapering for the meet. However my parents said they were too "tired" to take us. now i am getting scared because that was suppose to be the last taper practice for the meet and now that i missed it im afraid i wont perform at the speed i shouldve if i had went to practice today for saturday
Will I perform well at the swim meet still?
Will my performance be affected by missing practice today?
One thing I wish I could go back and do over as a young swimmer is to not be so danged superstitious about everything. adrianandcielo, if you've trained hard and you are mentally ready to go (and you don't get freaked out by a minor thing like missing one practice) you'll do fine. There is no one perfect formula for a taper. You haven't screwed anything up. Your body is as ready to go today as it was yesterday. Get out there and race. Don't sweat the small stuff.
Now, have a great meet!!!:applaud:
