During dive practices my teammates and I usually listen to \u201cRock Pre-Game Radio\u201d on Pandora. It&#8217;s the station that pumps us up and makes us feel like we can do almost everything (even those scary dives). Music helps divers not to think too much. When you overthink, you make the dive more complicated than it actually is. Imagine doing it once in your head and then just go for it.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

In that moment doubt starts to take over and that\u2019s when the struggle begins. Each time you walk back to the beginning of the board, you start to beat yourself up and it just gets harder and harder. Eventually you just get frustrated and have to jump off. Even after you jump off and the next rotation of divers go, you can&#8217;t get discouraged. Take a deep breath. Believe in your training. And just do it.<\/p>\n<h2>3.

You smack some water, right? Even though it doesn\u2019t sound that bad, we all know it\u2019s still going to hurt. Divers all have battle wounds from the sports we do; it\u2019s part of the experience. Every diver has their horror stories of hitting the water wrong or just right.<\/p>\n<p>My freshman year of college I smacked my head so hard on the water from the three meter board that I gave myself a concussion. I was out of my very first collegiate swim meet and it was one of the worst feelings in the world. We all know it sucks to be sitting on the sidelines (or pool deck in this case), but it sometimes happens.<\/p>\n<p>Extinguish the fear of hurting yourself or thinking you can&#8217;t do it&#8211; just try it once.
