And anyone who has been through morning practice knows there are five clear stages.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Dread\/Anxiety<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lying in bed the night before morning practice is pure torture. You know no matter how early you go to bed, you will never get enough sleep. You want to cry just thinking about how soon you have to wake up again.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <strong>Pain\/Avoidance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Personally, the sound of my alarm going off at 5:00 a.m. makes me feel physical pain. It\u2019s cold and dark outside. Is practice really necessary? You find yourself thinking that you would give anything just to be able to stay in your warm, cozy bed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Fear\/Second-Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As you arrive at the pool, you wonder what terrible set your coach must be planning. You try to stall in the locker room, but you find yourself on deck. You realize there\u2019s no turning back now, so you jump in the water.<\/p>\n<h2>4. <strong>Motivation\/Dedication<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Bollier-B-2013-US-Nats-0201.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"48171\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/a-humorous-take-the-5-layers-of-morning-practice\/bobby-bollier-places-1st-in-the-prelims-of-the-200-butterfly\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Bollier-B-2013-US-Nats-0201.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2413,1606\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.

Look at you, you\u2019re getting in a full workout before your friends are even awake! You\u2019re in such a good mood, you decide you might even tackle that extra credit project after school this afternoon.<\/p>\n<h2>5. <strong>Exhaustion\/Pride<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>That motivation you had this morning has worn off quickly and now you\u2019re so tired you can barely stand. It\u2019s only 9 a.m. and you are desperately in need of a nap. Maybe no one will notice if you just put your head down on your desk during class for a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p><em>All commentaries are the opinion of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Swimming World Magazine nor its staff.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Humorous Take: The 5 Layers of Morning Practice By Morgan Pestorius No one understands the pain of morning practice unless they\u2019ve experienced it themselves.
