Bouncing back only gets harder the longer you wait to do it. With championship season fast approaching, those tiny shreds of doubt are constantly lingering in the back of your mind.
What if I don’t hit my taper? What if I let my team down? What if I choke? What if I’m a disappointment? You are never totally free of the potentially Bad Race. Sometimes the pressure gets to your head. Sometimes that one wrong turn in the middle of your race ends the meet for you right at that moment.
Even the greats have have had their not-so-great moments. Michael Phelps’ most recent drunk driving stint took him off of the FINA World Championship team. And yet, he’s back— better, faster, and stronger than ever. Missy Franklin took the world by storm after winning two individual golds in London in 2012. Three years later, in Kazan at the World Championships, she came in second in the 200 back and didn’t medal in the 100 back, both with times that were nowhere near her Olympic times. Both Phelps and Franklin remain the best in the world when they are not at their best. Even at their level, however, not every meet goes exactly how they planned.
