As swimmers shift from winter training and the holiday season into the last dual meets of the season and the last grind leading up to their championship taper, intensity picks up. Suddenly that meet that has been looming since the early days of September is closer, realer, and starting to be a little bit scarier.
When the calendar starts reflecting weeks instead of months leading up to the big meet, a swimmer is apt to start feeling the pressure. This can be positive, allowing swimmers to focus in on their goals and tune up the last stroke corrections and other issues leading into their taper. However, it can also increase nerves, and make everything feel a little overwhelming. When every practice starts to feel like the last moment to fix something, it’s easy to start feeling like everything is going wrong.
Instead of feeling like every bump in the road is a colossal roadblock sure to keep you from your season bests, swimmers should remind themselves that within the obstacles and the challenges that are often faced in the month of January is the opportunity to get better. It is in the moments leading up to your taper meet where planes are late, pools are too warm, hotel beds are uncomfortable, goggles break, or you just plain swim slow that you find spaces to improve.
