\u201cWe\u2019re starting taper!\u201d This phrase is sure to incite levels of excitement in swimmers that are rarely reached outside of the offer of free food. Taper represents the promise of fast swimming, along with the thrilling chance to back off the pounding you\u2019ve been giving your body all season.<\/p>\n

But just as rest begins to hit, you start the rollercoaster ride that makes up a taper. Sometimes during this process your confidence can begin to plummet. When the beginning of taper makes you feel slow and sluggish, it\u2019s easy to lose some of your normal swagger. But before you let the panic take over, take a deep breath and refocus on finding the confidence that will lead you to a blazing fast end of your season. Here are five place we swimmers find confidence:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0Your Teammates<\/h2>\n

\"teammates\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re not feeling fully confident, there\u2019s no better place to turn than to your teammates. Sure, you might be worrying about your races, but you KNOW that they\u2019re going to swim fast right? Tapers can be brutal, and they tend to affect everyone differently.<\/p>\n

Whether it seems like it or not, everyone has some similar moments of worry. That teammate that seems to be hitting their taper perfectly probably has some doubts too. When you step up and support those around you it has an added benefit of making you feel confident in your own swimming, and you can bet that they\u2019re going to turn around and do the same for you.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Your Coaches<\/h2>\n

\"Swimming<\/a><\/p>\n

There is no better feeling than having your coach look at you and tell you you\u2019re going to swim fast. While there were probably times in the season you thought they got a sick sense of satisfaction out of your pain, when it comes down to it your coaches want you to succeed. Taper is the time to trust them. They\u2019re going to do everything in their power to set you up to swim fast, and believing is crucial to the process.<\/p>\n

3. Your Past Workouts<\/h2>\n

\"workouts-phelps\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling particularly sluggish one day, it\u2019s normal to feel some doubt. Some swimmers even worry that they\u2019ve \u201cgotten out of shape\u201d since they\u2019ve began their taper. If you\u2019re feeling this way, take a second and reflect on all of the work you\u2019ve done this past season. Remember those practices where you came in and absolutely killed it. You know you\u2019ve done the work, and now it\u2019s time to reap the rewards, even if that means being a little patient.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Your Stroke<\/h2>\n

\"Unknown<\/a><\/p>\n

At some point during taper, you\u2019re going to start feeling good. It isn\u2019t going to happen immediately, but one day you\u2019ll be swimming along and your stroke will click. There\u2019s no other kind of confidence boost better than this, and when it happens go with it. It\u2019s your body trying to tell you \u201cYes, you are going to swim fast!\u201d<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0The Water<\/h2>\n

\"pool-water\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes down to it, no matter how big the meet, or how intense the competition, the water you\u2019re going to be racing in is the same sort of water in which you\u2019ve logged hundreds of miles throughout the season. Embrace that. You\u2019ve already proved yourself throughout the thousands of yards you\u2019ve done this season. Now all you have to do is race!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
