Hey there-
Was just wondering if any of you felt like this...
At practice: I feel strong, my strokes feel perfect - everything is great.
When at meets: The second I dive in (this is primarily on backstroke, my best stroke) - and I feel like I'm out of control, I feel like I slip on every pull - not going anywhere but my arms are going fast.
What is going on? Do I need to lift weights or what?
Thanks - Sarah
I think it could have something to do with tension. Whenever I can't relax before a breaststroke race, my stroke comes apart and I feel like a beginner. Try some slow, deep breathing before you race. Also read the NYT article referenced in the Free Your Mind thread.
