Everyone knows who the sprinters are at swim meets. They\u2019re usually stereotyped to be tall and beefy guys, and very muscular girls. They usually walk around with a certain swagger that they need to be successful in their event. This swagger is half of what makes them a sprinter. They are half speed, half swagger. There are a few\u00a0ways to get into that mindset.<\/p>\n

Great sprinters often have\u00a0a certain natural instinct in the water. You need to be able to dive into the water without worrying about making a major mistake, like missing a turn, or messing up your turnover rate.<\/p>\n

Sprint events are not designed for thinking. They\u2019re designed for going as fast as possible. Do all of your thinking about your race before you dive in, and in the weeks you spend prepping for your swims.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe an animal, go as fast as you can and just be an animal in the water.\u201d I heard this when\u00a0I was twelve, listening intently to the coach talking to his swimmer in the lane next to me before our championship heat of the 50 free. Ironically, I beat the swimmer he said this to, but it has stuck with me. Being an animal in the water goes along with the idea of \u201cnot thinking, just doing\u201d during the race. Animals do not lose in all out sprints (except for the kid next to me when I was twelve), and understanding this fact is half of the battle.<\/p>\n

Part of being a sprinter is believing\u00a0that you\u2019re going to beat the person in the lane next to you. This belief\u00a0is crucial to having the confidence needed to have a good race. After each sprinter in question understands this, they will usually bring out an intimidation method known as \u201cthe slap.\u201d This is where the sprinter will slap themselves very loudly all over their body to try and intimidate whoever is next to them\u2026 All joking aside, \u201cthe slap\u201d can help activate muscles to fire very quickly, and I would recommend for anyone to try before a race.<\/p>\n

The final piece to\u00a0this sprinter mindset is to have fun. Having fun is presumably a part of why we sprint. We like to see if we can be faster than the person next to us. If you can have fun while racing others, you will be a successful sprinter.<\/p>\n
