Since
you are here reading this email, you likely are one of those few people
who will actually carry out your plans to improve yourself this year in
some way.
If it is swimming, I’d like you to consider something.
Here’s what I’m giving you permission to let go of this year as you pursue your goals:
1. The need to to x amount of yards/meters/laps miles. This often creates a serious problem of letting your inner drill sergeant take over, which leads eventually to de-motivation.
2. The need to “go fast” at all costs.
The process is going to be the majority of your work here. Fall in love
with the process of fixing your stroke, and you will naturally start to
swim faster. But “going fast” as a goal could be counter-productive.
3. The need to stick to a schedule.
What? “But coach, if I don’t stick to my schedule, I’ll fall apart,
lose my feel for the water, lose my race!” Instead of the schedule idea,
think about doing what feels right that day. Some days you just may not
feel like swimming.
But if you want to create the habit so
there’s no thinking going on, think about the mini-habit idea. Your
habit is simply packing your swim bag and driving to the pool.
There you go! No motivation required. 🙂
What will you let go this year to get to success in fitness & triathlon, while “befriending the water” in swimming?
