How do the qualifying times keep decreasing? How does the world keep getting faster?<\/p>\n<p>These questions can be answered story after story about a new training regimen, or studies that proved a certain workout as more beneficial than a traditional one. One can even go as far to argue that \u201cnatural selection\u201d has bred a generation of some of the greatest swimmers. Yet, applying Darwin\u2019s theories or accounting the influx of talent to nutrition and training do not answer any questions of importance.<\/p>\n<p>Asking \u201chow\u201d about someone else&#8217;s success is only half the battle. Sure, you can gather information about training and nutrition that will most certainly make a difference; but what we seem to forget in focusing about the \u201chows\u201d of others is that a race is won outside of the pool by us.<\/p>\n<p>How can I eat better?<br \/>\nHow can I train harder?<br \/>\nHow can I become the best version of myself in and out of the water?<\/p>\n<p>These questions will prove the only ones that can make a difference. Focus on yourself because when your marks\u00a0are called the only person you should be worried about is you. Your time remains unlinked to Phelps\u2019 gold medals, therefore you are doing a disservice to yourself if you allow your mind to be bound in chains to an expectation that isn\u2019t your own. Your mind is your biggest enemy and your greatest ally\u2014it is how you choose to use it that will determine the extent of your success.<\/p>\n<p>Set yourself a goal and follow through\u2014this is where those feature articles about Dressel\u2019s training regimen kick in. Go into practice every day reminding yourself why you\u2019re there. When you close your eyes you shouldn\u2019t replay Lezak\u2019s 2008 Olympic performance in your mind&#8211; you should have<em> you<\/em> in your mind.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to improve is to focus on what needs to be done, and that starts with a recognition and assertion of ethic to the cause. In saying this, I do not suggest an abandonment of all training ideas because quite frankly, swimming requires work, but it is pertinent to realize that swimming is both physical and mental work.<\/p>\n<p>Train hard and train with conviction. Learn to relish the knots in your shoulders, the soreness of your muscles, and the limp exhaustion that consumes your body after practices. Do not compromise any aspect of the workout, because that image in your head of you succeeding should provide the motivation to persevere. Lifting is as important as interval training, running is as important as start drills, physical training is as important as mental preparation\u2014nothing should be shorthanded.<\/p>\n<p>We often kick ourselves for picking a sport that demands so much of our body, time, and mind. But we picked it for a reason. Swimming offers us a chance to be great. But here is the thing, greatness is subjective. Sure, Mark Spitz was great\u2014but that has no bearing on your personal achievement of greatness. Greatness isn\u2019t measured in plaques and gold medals that will rust in the next century; greatness is a measure of improvement, self-discovery, fulfillment, and happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Stop asking \u201chow?\u201d in regards to others. Stop undermining your greatness to succumb to the articles that endlessly admire professional swimmers because at the end of the race, the majority of the swimming community does not have Speedo endorsements. We swim in dingy pools at the break of dawn with one question in our heads: \u201chow is today going to be better?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By SuSu Almousa, Swimming World College Intern I think the main question swimmers\u2014especially collegiate swimmers\u2014tend to ask is a simple one.\u00a0How?
