My daughter is a USA swimmer and has had a decline in her stamina now for about 3 weeks. Her goal is to go to State and she only needs to drop 3 sec. on her free and 6 sec on her *** and she is frustrated. Can anyone give me ideas on how to help her or ideas as to why this might be happening
Check out the latest Swim magazine. There are excellent articles about overtraining, and about iron deficiency anemia.
I understand where zoomzoomdave is coming from, but make sure there is not a physical problem before telling your daughter it is all in her head. From personal experience (i-d anemia from medication), it is crushing to be trying your hardest, and have people saying its all in your head. :(
