I believe the principles stated in thiis article will be helpful for improving performance across a spectrum of activities (not just sports). And I recall that some of the techniques mentioned in the article have been advocated in other posts.
See you in the water,

Nice article. I was especially intrigued by the "disassociation" aspect. It made me stop and ask myself, am I doing this when I'm swimming? I know when I am swimming a long distance, like a 2K, I tend to let my mind wander. I'll catch myself and focus more on my swimming, but after awhile, it wanders off again. But, after reading this article, I'm going to purposely try to keep my focus on my swimming while swimming to see what kind of difference it makes.
