i've been training my hardest in practice, but in meets its just not there.
i dont know what could be wrong, but i have a hunch its my attitude. i have difficulty getting psyched up before events or else i just feel soooo sleepy and emotionally/physically drained.
while i swim i know i can go faster, but i just can't. and after swimming my events i don't even feel tired or dead like i should be feeling, as if i've held a part of me back while swimming.
i give it my all in practice, but fail in swim meets... and i haven't improved in a long time.
can any of you offer tips? suggestions?

You need to transorm...from swimchickee in to swimhawk at the meets. When that horn goes off...it's time to get into high gear.
I see this with some of our age group kids....who swim at a nice leisurely pace in meets. They need to get psyched...and spark some adrenaline.
Mentally.... you need to change your frame of mind...and step it up a bit.
