What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"
I started this thread over in the work outs section which I think doesn't get as much traffic as the general discussion board
so here's the link
forums.usms.org/showthread.php
but my point is,
No matter what, the time between right now and your focus meet is going to pass, and the things you do to prepare for your meet is of the UTMOST importance.
the choices you make
the chances you take
swim hard in practice
rehearse racing
I want to read your story about your breakthrough.
Decide it starts today
that this season will be your best season EVER
What do you need to do to make this true?
Ande
Anyone have a breakthrough last year?
Anyone working on a BREAKTHROUGH this year?
What are your goals?
What are your plans?
Tell us about it
Anyone have a breakthrough last year? (1) Because I could not find an event on the schedule any more to my liking, I entered the 400 IM at Auburn. After a month or more preparing for it, I did ok, and it's turned into one of my better events. I actually like swimming it! (2) I followed some of Ande's sprint kicking program, improved my backstroke SDK, and got my 50 back time under 30!
Anyone working on a BREAKTHROUGH this year? Someday I would like to swim a plausible 200 fly. I am working on it! But it may take more than a year. I still don't know if I ever want to swim a breaststroke event. That would be a real breakthrough.
What are your goals? To have fun! To do at least one meet SCY, one meet LCM, and one meet SCM this year. To be satisfied with the results, whatever they are. To still be in swimming, and happily so, at year's end.
What are your plans? Auburn: all backstroke events, 200 & 400 IM, maybe 500 free, maybe one other. St. Pat's. Maybe Wildcat. Sr. Games nats. LCM nats. Some SCM meets next fall.
