Every swimmer knows the familiar feeling in the pit of their stomach as the end of the season starts to creep up on them. During peak training, practices seem never-ending, but before you know it you’re two weeks out from championship season and taper is starting.
Most people can tell you that taper season is crazy in a number of ways. Your body is going through training changes, practice structures are completely different, and your mind has to keep up with all of it. Trying to make sure that each and every little thing that you’re doing in practice is perfect can be incredibly stressful, and every swimmer reacts differently to the challenge.
It may seem easy to get overwhelmed in this type of an environment, but I am a firm believer in the importance of a strong mentality before and during taper. You can never foresee what’s going to happen during this time. The only thing that’s guaranteed is that there will be highs and lows, but positivity and trust over everything else are the most important keys to success.
