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?
