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. :(
