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
When practicing sprinting I try to keep one thing in mind to work on each sprint. Like in breaststroke doing a set of 25s I'll spend one 25 focusing on keeping my head down,one focusing on getting my feet high on the catch of the kick,one on shrugging my shoulders,etc.Then at a meet I'll mentally go through the stroke focusing on getting it perfect in my mind before I swim.
