It’s the big day. You’re at your championship meet, tapered, suited up, and not a hair on your body. You’ve trained all year for this one race. This one moment. You’re standing behind the blocks

Hi all,

It’s been a long while since I’ve written to you all, I think I’ve been waiting on a topic that seems relevant......

Heya Team,

Long course season is pretty much over and we have had some fantastic results across all of our nation teams. We are so proud of you all!!
 

There will be days where you don’t feel like it. (Even more so for some of you, now that we have reset after nationals, and the big meets seem so far away)

Heya Team,

Being in the full National Competition season now,
its a good time to sit down and re-visit your goals.

Sooooo I have question for ya. ........

Living in The Land of the Long White Cloud, let alone Auckland (4 seasons in 1 day) means that we don't have a massive abundance of outdoor pools. Well, at least not compared to our neighbours across the Pacific...

How often do you find your mind wandering in the middle of your sets? How many times have you forgotten the number of laps you had completed while swimming a 400?

I have some questions for you. 

They will help you get a better grip on the year that was, and provide a quick and dirty blueprint for even faster swimming in 2016.
