While work for the non-professional athlete might involve going to school, studying for an exam or working on a presentation, Smoliga\u2019s work involves countless hours and laps in the pool mixed together with tough mental and physical preparation. And her big payoff would be qualifying for her second Olympic team in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Smoliga\u2019s list of accomplishments are impressive. She was named Swimming World Magazine\u2019s 2013 High School Swimmer of the Year and is the current American record holder in the 50 meter backstroke (27.33). She also placed first at the 2016 Olympic Trials, beating out heavyweight backstroke names such as Missy Franklin and Natalie Coughlin for the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve \u2018made it,\u2019 but I also feel like I have barriers I want to break. I\u2019m still working toward my greatest accomplishment. If I\u2019ve already had it, then I\u2019m not learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That sense of always learning goes hand-in-hand with Smoliga\u2019s view that to be truly mentally prepared, you have to be in tune with yourself. She says swimmers should continually \u201ccheck in on themselves\u201d because nobody knows them better than themselves!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the age of social media, focus on other people has taken away from the focus on ourselves. All of that energy that I\u2019m focusing on someone else could be harnessed instead,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Coaches often tell their swimmers, \u201cStick to your own race\u201d&#8230;\u201cFocus on your work\u201d&#8230;and \u201cVisualize, then enact your plan.\u201d Smoliga is a testament to the fact that this advice works, and she\u2019s more than happy to share her pre-race mental preparation routine with other swimmers because, says Smoliga, \u201cWe stress a lot about what happens in the moment&#8230;but as long as we\u2019re working hard, everything will be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><br \/>\n<strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-january-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">To read more about how Olivia Smoliga prepares for a race,<br \/>\nclick here to download the Swimming World January 2021 issue, available now!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-january-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"458478\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-january-2021-michael-andrew-taking-the-road-less-traveled\/sw-january-2021-cover-michael-andrew-taking-the-road-less-traveled\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/SW-January-2021-Cover-Michael-Andrew-Taking-the-Road-Less-Traveled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SW January 2021 &#8211;

Stott<\/strong><br \/>\nIn 1993, Swedish cognitive psychologist Anders Ericsson wrote that greatness wasn\u2019t born, but grown. His ideas later formed the basis for the \u201c10,000-hour rule\u201d described in Malcolm Gladwell\u2019s book, \u201cOutliers\u201d (2008), which holds that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery in a skill or field. Known by the term, \u201cprocess,\u201d to coaches, Swimming World details how they use that learning curve to improve the performance of their swimmers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>036 SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: FREESTYLE TECHNIQUE FOR SPRINT AND DISTANCE (Part 1)<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Rod Havriluk<\/strong><br \/>\nMany sources suggest that swimmers use a different freestyle technique for sprint and distance events. However, science (both physics and research) shows us that a swimmer can optimize performance in events of all distances by using the same arm motion with a different arm coordination.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">040<\/span> SPECIAL SETS: TOUGH SETS THE DON SWARTZ WAY<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Michael J.

The halcyon era was a time of mega yardage being done by the likes of DeMont and fellow Olympians Brian Goodell, Bobby Hackett and Australia\u2019s Steven Holland. When it came to designing tough sets, you could say that Swartz had a front row seat.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">043<\/span> Q&amp;A WITH COACH KATIE ROBINSON<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Michael J.
