Mental Prep: Before the Beep with David Curtiss<\/span><\/h1>\n
By Shoshanna Rutemiller<\/span><\/p>\n
Three-time U.S. national team member and 50 freestyle national high school record holder David Curtiss has achieved incredible feats, but has also faced disappointing losses. Curtiss became one of the fastest sprinters ever when he clocked an incredible 19.11 in the 50 yard free last March as the lead-off swimmer on Pennington School\u2019s 200 freestyle relay.<\/p>\n
After the high school senior\u2019s performance, all eyes were focused on Curtiss at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June. But he admits that he was out of his element in Omaha. It was his first time competing at Trials against the biggest names in the sport, and his mental game wasn\u2019t on point.<\/p>\n
Upon reflection, Curtiss felt that \u201cOlympic Trials was not my meet. I didn\u2019t perform to the standard I knew I could. It was great to experience the distinction of the people there and the cameras and lights. So in that aspect, it was successful because it helped me shake off the \u2018newbie\u2019 vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, the 18-year-old finished sixth in the 50 meter freestyle, which would seem to portend great things for the North Carolina State freshman. For now, he is taking things one step at a time and moving at a reasonable pace with the ultimate \u201cend of the tunnel\u201d being the Olympics.<\/p>\n
Now 19, Curtiss took time to discuss his personal mental preparation with Swimming World. From the self-proclaimed \u201csuperstitious\u201d pre-race day rituals to the need to keep his mind \u201cblank,\u201d Curtiss gives us some insight into the mind of a world-class sprint phenom.<\/p>\n
HOTEL<\/span><\/strong>
\nCurtiss is a man of habit. Once he found the routine that worked for him to get centered and focused before a big race, he stuck with it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe night before (a big event), I have my superstitious rituals,\u201d says Curtiss. \u201cI eat the same meal, go to bed at the same time, indulge in a nice soap bath and listen to some music.\u201d<\/p>\n
His go-to meal is salmon with fries and broccoli from a nearby chain restaurant. He started eating this meal as a kid before his races, felt like it worked, and continued to do it. Bedtime is between 7 and 8 p.m. so he can prime his body with 12 hours of sleep.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Sleeping) is more of a mental thing. I like knowing that sleep isn\u2019t a problem going into the next day of racing. Four- or five-day meets take a toll on you mentally.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtiss recognizes that the same routine helps him decompress and take his mind off the next day. Like so many swimmers, consistency means there is one less thing to worry about in an already high-stress environment.<\/p>\n
