I have been managing to train well throughout that. So I think this last push could feel actually refreshing as opposed to hectic,\u201d Reece Whitley told <em>Swimming Worl<\/em>d. \u201cThe vibes are good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitley is coming off of an NCAA Championships that didn\u2019t go as well as he had hoped for himself or Cal, which finished runnerup to Texas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of my swims felt good. That is the way NCAAs goes. It is about grinding through that. Nobody feels good,\u201d Whitley said. \u201cIn the 200 breast, the morning swim was fine. I think it was just me getting excited for the day. There is also a team race that is at the forefront and you get nervous because each swim is more important. Every swim, every stroke matters. That is more to think about. I think that put me in a spot where I put too much pressure on myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitley was out-touched by Minnesota\u2019s <strong>Max McHugh<\/strong> in the 200 breaststroke.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMax is obviously very good and he knows I am good. We push each other. I think I settled a bit too much up front and I didn\u2019t have enough to push through that in the back half the way I wanted. If I let things flow a little more and let things fly at the 75 instead of 125, maybe it is different,\u201d Whitley said. \u201cBut it is all information. I got fifth as a freshman. I got to swim in the 200 IM final this year. To finish second after a long week of racing, I can\u2019t really complain. Of course you always wish things go better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitley said he will take all of that information he learned at NCAAs and put it to good use at the Trials, where he will be swimming against some of the same athletes, as well as professionals, in the 100 and 200 breaststroke events.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will take a lot,\u201d he said. \u201cThe mentality of going out there regardless of how you feel, not caring about time and just racing the dudes next to you. Nobody knows the exact time it will take to make it. But you know the winner of the race will go to the Olympics. It is about getting your hand on the wall first or seconds. I am focused on putting myself in position to be in the hunt. Breaststroke is pretty loaded. There are probably 10 guys good enough to make the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That is how the field is in most elite meets, something Whitley has prepared for by watching.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Watching Europeans got me in that mindset. It is such a big stage,\u201d he said. \u201cWatching guys that you go to work with and see them do well is really inspiring. You are watching them take advantage of their opportunity. They have worked their butts off in a similar way to what you have done and that is exciting to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_470518\" style=\"width: 479px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-470518\" data-attachment-id=\"470518\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/reece-whitley-putting-pieces-together-to-set-myself-up-for-a-good-swim-at-olympic-trials\/reece-whitley-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals595\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/reece-whitley-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals595.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,667\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1617939275&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"reece-whitley-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals595\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;reece-whitley-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals595&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/reece-whitley-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals595-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/reece-whitley-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals595.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-470518\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/reece-whitley-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals595-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"reece-whitley-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals595\" width=\"469\" height=\"335\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-470518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reece Whitley. Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That hard work started as soon as last year\u2019s NCAA meet was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whitley and his Cal teammates were out of the water for a bit, but started preparing for what was ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has definitely been different than in years past. We didn\u2019t have much long-course availability last year. We frontloaded our season with long course, which helped. We haven\u2019t raced much long course. It was interesting to go to these meets and get these long-course races in, even an intersquad. You can\u2019t replicate that environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That training has helped Whitley into position to contend. He is also working on fine-tuning anything that could mean a hundredth of a second.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say it is anything differently in terms of technique. There are things about my strength in both long course and short course, like body posture, core stability and where my kick is finishing. It is more stroke mechanics. The real difference is just tempo training, which takes care of itself because it is muscle memory,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is working on those pieces to set myself up for a good swim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was the same attitude in 2016, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/reece-whitley-this-generation-was-part-of-something-that-made-great-change-for-our-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Whitley<\/a> was a young teenager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always have believed in myself and making semis in 2016 was really helpful. It put things into perspective for what the stage actually looks like,\u201d Whitley said. \u201cI can remember watching the 200 final very vividly. I can remember exactly where I was sitting. Since that meet, it was like OK, this is it. Semifinals is pretty intense. I think going through that process and not swimming well and learning from that definitely has put me in a better position to tackle the meet a little better this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having that experience on the unique stage, and putting in the preparation mentally as well as physically, has Whitley poised for a strong meet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have our opportunity,\u201d Reece Whitley said. \u201cTrials is our Super Bowl. It is the biggest meet ever. Every race you are just going out there trying to have a good one. That is what it is about.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While many swimmers get more tense and feel more pressure heading into the Olympic Trials, Reece Whitley is feeling more relaxed.
