  • mental components are key too An athlete can use mind techniques to stay focused and intense in training. With a mere attitude shift, just a change in thought patterns an athlete can dramatically improve her training performance levels. I believe if an athlete consistently performs at high levels in training, she'll do better in competition. Using mind techniques she can apply more effort on hard swims, handle training fatigue better and handle training pain better. It's also critical to athletes to identify their current ability levels. like best times for 10 yard free 25 free 25 fly kick 50 free 100 free or whatever else is important for athletes to to measure and improve. If you want to GO FROM "A" to "B" you need to figure out where "A" is then decide on what "B" is also anything we do and measure IMPROVES.
