However, as the years progressed she slowly found herself getting burned out on the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe training on my club team was intense; with early morning practices and a total of eight tough workouts a week, I found myself exhausted all the time.\u201d Knocke said. \u201cbut more importantly my attitude continued to worsen, I dreaded going to each practice and felt like I was missing out on things in high school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After switching from club to high school swimming for her junior and senior year, Knocke decided to quit the sport for good; vowing to herself she would never swim again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI threw away all my swim suits, all my caps and goggles, I was done competing for good no matter who tried to convince me otherwise,\u201d Knocke said.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating high school, Emily went on to attend Ouachita Baptist University. She took her focus off competitive swimming and invested her time in other activities, such as school and friendships. However, she often found herself subconsciously missing the benefits of swimming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was actually pretty difficult plugging in with friends my freshmen year of college,&#8221; Knocke said. &#8220;It really made me miss the swim team atmosphere and having that second family.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Rediscovering her love for the sport<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_116838\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/emily-knocke-2-e1418141494234.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-116838\" data-attachment-id=\"116838\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ouachita-baptists-emily-knocke-walk-walk-music\/emily-knocke-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/emily-knocke-2-e1418141494234.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2284,1665\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;KODAK EASYSHARE M753 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1305948246&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.015625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Emily Knocke\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Emily Knocke&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Cheryl Knocke&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/emily-knocke-2-e1418141494234-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/emily-knocke-2-e1418141494234-1024x746.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-116838\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/emily-knocke-2-e1418141494234-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Emily Knocke\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-116838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Cheryl Knocke<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ouachita Baptist head\u00a0coach Steven Bostick stumbled upon Emily at a facility student dinner, where he discovered her swimming history and managed to talk her into meeting the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe kept asking about my previous swimming experience and said he could make me love the sport again if I gave it another chance,\u201d Knocke said. \u201cSomehow, he persuaded me to meet the team and when I did everyone was so welcoming towards me, it was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Bostick saw the connection Emily had with the team, he convinced her to get in the water and see how it felt again.<\/p>\n<p>When the idea of rejoining a swim team came to mind, Emily discussed it with her closest friends and family;

Knocke exceled at the UALR Christmas Invitational this past weekend and claimed victories in both the backstroke events. She won the 100 backstrokes with a time of 58.80 and also won the 200 backstroke in 2:08.69.<\/p>\n<p>Knocke swam so well she was seeded first in both races coming back to finals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was the walk on with the walk out music,&#8221; Bostick said. &#8220;You don\u2019t see that everyday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bostick was impressed with Knocke\u2019s stellar swims at the meet, and knew that she possessed the potential to be successful again in swimming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a surprise that she swam fast, she always came to practice and gave it her all; 99 percent of the time if you do that you\u2019ll be rewarded,\u201d Bostick said.<\/p>\n<p>Although there is a definite transition from club or high school swimming to college swimming, Knocke has learned to appreciate the many positive aspects of being a collegiate swimmer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCollege swimming can be similar to club swimming intensity wise, but we have a lot of dual meets which is nice because it\u2019s a smaller and less competitive environment in my opinion,\u201d Knocke said. \u201cI\u2019m really happy with how this season has gone and it&#8217;s been awesome to be part of such a supportive team. It really has been nice to join swimming again because this time I chose to be here instead of being forced to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swimming not only has many physical benefits, but it also has a certain rewarding feeling that can only be experienced through contributing hours of hard work towards the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a unique sense of accomplishment that I\u2019ve only ever found in swimming,&#8221; Knocke said. &#8220;It\u2019s an awesome feeling to know that something you\u2019ve worked at for months and months has finally paid off.\u00a0I can honestly say I\u2019ve found a new appreciation for the sport; it\u2019s so good to be back into swimming and to know that I can push myself this hard again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bostick believes that coaches and swimmers should strive to reach out to former \u2018burnout\u2019 athletes more often.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that we were in a special situation finding Emily, but I do believe it&#8217;s important to have a good social image, a reputation amongst the campus because you\u2019ll never know who you\u2019ll come across,\u201d Knocke said.<\/p>\n<h2>Prevention of burning out<\/h2>\n<p>Emily Knocke is an example of swimmers who possess the natural athletic talent to excel in swimming, but somehow lose motivation and interest in the sport. Although Knocke managed to rekindle her love for swimming, many swimmers somehow cannot. This leads to the question, what prevents swimmers from burning out of the sport?<\/p>\n<p>Bostick believes that in order to prevent swimmers from burning out, both the athlete and the coach must play a role in keeping the sport fun. Teaching swimmers to enjoy what they do and to be satisfied in their performance is an important factor to the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo all the swimmers who are wanting to give up, I\u2019d say attempt change before you quit,&#8221; Bostick said. &#8220;Try something different like a new mental perspective or adopting a new source of inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Something as small as developing a new mindset could transform a swimmer\u2019s experience forever.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rachel Ewart is a junior competing at Ouachita Baptist.
