In 2016, Hali Flickinger<\/strong> had a breakout swim at the right time to make the Olympic team in the 200 fly. Five years later, she enters the 2021 Olympic trials as the favorite, a completely different situation, especially mentally.<\/p>\n

But Flickinger has changed her entire mental approach to every aspect of the sport since moving to Arizona to train<\/a> with Bob<\/strong> Bowman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That started after the last meet that Flickinger was the favorite \u2014 the 2019 World Championships. In that meet Flickinger crushed her prelims swim to take the top seed, but was slower in the final and got the silver medal behind Boglarka Kapas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Flickinger said she has had a tendency to overthink things, and she has been focused on strategies to keep her mind focused \u2014 or rather unfocused.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I have a laser focus, I tend to over think it. I think I started to notice it before worlds, but worlds was definitely the eye opener, knowing I can\u2019t just focus on one thing. You saw what happened in the final,\u201d Hali Flickinger told Swimming World<\/em>. \u201cI have learned so much since worlds and Bob has really helped me a lot with that to learn that it is the past. We are moving forward and everything from there is a lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flickinger said the biggest thing was figuring out what the issue was. Now she and Bowman can attack it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not anywhere close to where I want to be when it comes to thinking like that, but I realize it and understand it. Recognizing it is the biggest thing for me \u2014\u00a0but I still have a long way to go,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

All smiles<\/strong><\/p>\n

No matter what kind of pressure Flickinger has felt in the past, she has always been all smiles on the pool deck. Even in times of extreme disappointment, she would find something to smile about quickly.<\/p>\n

But it isn\u2019t a defense mechanism, it is part of Flickinger\u2019s mindset of finding the good in all moments.<\/p>\n

It is not an easy thing to do, but Flickinger has made it an art form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it really helps me,\u201d she said. \u201c I wouldn\u2019t say it is a shield because when I am smiling, something legitimately made me smile. When I need or want to cry, I will. I am always trying to find the positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even after getting her heart broken in the 2019 World Championship final.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a picture of me beaming out of the water after I was so disappointed at worlds. I had a moment with Katie Drabot<\/strong><\/a> and she made me happy in that moment. I always try to find a positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flickinger has learned that positive thoughts can be pivotal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I stay in that sad, negative place, I start to go down a rabbit hole. I always try to be around somebody or seeing something that helps me. I can\u2019t stay i that negative place because there is so much out there that makes me happy,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is just about trying to think in a more positive way. It is not easy by any means, but the more you practice thinking that way, the easier it gets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 More on Flickinger’s physical transformation<\/a><\/p>\n

Arizona heat<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Hali Flickinger continued to train at a high level, she needed a change of scenery to help with her mentality shift.<\/p>\n

After having so much success with Jack Bauerle<\/strong> in Georgia, it was a bit of a risk moving to Arizona to train with Bowman<\/p>\n

simply because things were working well enough that Flickinger was a gold-medal contender at worlds.<\/p>\n

But in order to reach her goals, she felt she needed that scenery switch.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took me all the way until quarantine to be able to look forward. It took me moving out here and forcing myself to understand it and learn from it. Our failures are when you learn the most and I definitely learned so much,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bowman has learned a lot about Flickinger, allowing him to push her in different ways.<\/p>\n

“I think it was easy but hard at the same time. I trusted Bob the second I walked into his office. The hardest part for me was to let goal of the control I had. He challenges me in that way. I am learning I need to listen rather than swim the way I want to swim,\u201d she said. \u201cThe hardest thing was handing over some control to him, but it has been really good for me to have that.<\/p>\n

It pushes me way beyond anything I wanted to do, or what I am scared to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having a new voice and new mantra makes it a simpler set of circumstances. Flickinger simply tries to do what Bowman directs \u2014 no more and no less \u2014 and think about just that specific direction.<\/p>\n

“Each meet, my goal is to listen to Bob and swim the race the way he tells me to. It can be anything from splits or techniques. My goal is to swim as best as I can the race Bob has prepared me to swim. That has really been helping me. That way I am not overthinking or hearing outside noise. I am thinking about doing what my coach told me to do and focused on that,\u201d she said. \u201cThis will be my first big taper with Bob so I am excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

On to Omaha<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Hali Flickinger is the favorite in the 200 butterfly, she has a lot more going on in Omaha.<\/p>\n

She qualified for the trials in nine events<\/a>, more than any other swimmer, and will have a chance to make the team in a couple of those events.<\/p>\n

She will swim the 400 IM, 200 free, 200 back and 200 fly \u2014 but the 200 fly is still her best shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt definitely does add a bit of pressure, but it has made me know that I need to make sure I am working harder because anything can happen. No matter what seed I am, I have been training to give myself the best chance do to what I need to do,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being versatile helps with focusing on a variety of things instead of one thing.<\/p>\n

\"hali-flickinger-\"

\u201cI like it. It allows me to not put pressure on any certain event. I don\u2019t worry about making sure I am doing enough of this or that in training. I like showing up to the pool knowing whatever work I put in will show up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her performance in 2016 was huge at the time, but also five years later, where she can rely on that experience to help get her through the long and grueling meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely the experience of being in the final helps. That feeling and being able to hopefully handle the pressure of knowing what is at stake in that swim. Experience is the biggest thing I gained. I know what is coming and what to expect,\u201d Hali Flickinger said. \u201cI have prepared as best as I can to give me the best chances. That is all I can do. Bob knows my goals and I trust he has done everything possible to get us there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is about swimming the race the way I prepared. That should allow everything to fall into place.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
