Progressive Mental Toughness Training for Swimming


Book Description

Progressive Mental Toughness Training for Swimming will significantly change how hard you can push yourself mentally and emotionally through visualization techniques taught in this book. Want to be the best? To be the best you have to train physically and mentally to your maximum capacity. Visualizing is commonly thought of as an activity that cannot be quantified which makes it harder to see if you are improving or making a difference, but in reality visualizing will increase your chances of success much more than any other activity. You will learn three visualization techniques that are proven to improve your performance under any situation. These are: 1.Motivational Visualization Techniques. 2.Problem Solving Visualization Techniques 3.Goal Oriented Visualization Techniques. These swimming visualization techniques will help you: -Win more often. -Become mentally tougher. -Outlast the competition. -Get to the next level. -Recover faster and train longer. How is this possible? Visualizing will help you to better control your emotions, stress, anxiety, and performance under pressure situations that are often the difference between success and failure. Bringing out the best in yourself in any sport and reaching your true potential can only happen through a balanced training regimen which should include: mental training, physical training, and proper nutrition. Why aren't more people using visualizations to enhance their performance in swimming? There are a number of reasons but the truth is most people have never tried it before and are afraid to try something new. Others don't think that improving their mental capacity will make a difference but they are wrong.




Gold Medal Mental Toughness Success Guide For Swimmers


Book Description

Welcome to the Gold Medal Mental Toughness program! I am so excited that you have decided to work on your mental game in your sport. Hopefully, you already know that there are three very important areas in your sport for overall success: physical training, technical training (attention to how efficiently you perform), and mental training (how confident and mentally prepared you are in your mind). I have spent many years helping people with their mental game in different areas of their lives. It is very exciting to see the amazing changes they can make. The self directed version of the success guide will enable you to make the changes that you want and need in order to better enjoy your overall experience. The 1st edition of the success guide was designed to be used by my clients in conjunction with their sessions and audios. This edition has been redesigned to enable any swimmer to benefit from reading and applying the techniques, regardless of whether you have a mental coach. All you need is an optimistic and willing attitude that enables you to try something new. Read the guide carefully, have an open mind, and do each of the exercises consistently. You will begin to see changes in your mental toughness and progress in your sport as a result of your mental training. Helping competitive swimmers enhance their mental toughness and improve their performances has been one of the greatest passions of my life. I have worked with athletes of all ages from age group swimmers to Olympians and professionals. Translating how I help athletes into a self- directed book was challenging. However, this guide will help you create mental toughness and enhance your performance. While the guide is available as a standalone product, it is my belief that in order for you to obtain maximum benefit you may wish to use some of the additional resources contained in the book. By purchasing this book you are indicating that you are ready to join the elite swimmers who understand that mental toughness training is just as important as physical and technical training. Read on and enjoy great swimming.

Becoming Mentally Tougher in Swimming by Using Meditation


Book Description

Becoming Mentally Tougher In Swimming by Using Meditation is one of the best ways to reach your true potential. Eating right and training are two of the pieces of the puzzle but you need the third piece to reach your true potential. The third piece is mental toughness and that can be obtained through meditation. Swimmers who practice meditation regularly will find they are or have: -More confident during competition. -Reduced stress levels. -Better capacity to concentrate for long periods of time. -Lower muscle fatigue. -Faster recovery times after competing or training. -Overcome nervousness better. -Control their emotions under pressure. What more can you ask for as a swimmer? When considering unlocking their true potential most athletes focus on physical and nutritional goals but often overlook their inner potential through practices like meditation and visualization. It's common to want to see physical benefits from physical exercises but what many athletes don't know is that meditation has been proven to improve physical health and performance. Reaching your peak performance requires that you train and stimulate the body and mind. Not taking this into account may be the main reason why some athletes have trouble getting to the next level. In order to do your best you must accept that the body and the mind are what will make you complete. Meditation as exercise for the mind helps to strengthen your mind as you would strengthen your body, consistently evolving as you practice it. Physical conditioning, good nutrition, and meditation are the three keys to achieve a state of optimal performance. Most athletes don't pay as much attention to meditation as they should because their mostly worried about appearance and how others perceive them. Results, in meditation, are not something you will see physically but rather in how you feel and in your new ability to control your thoughts and emotions. By starting your meditation sessions and being disciplined and consistent you will notice significant improvements in how you respond to anxiety, pressure, and stress which are three of the major issues most athletes have trouble overcoming in life and when trying to reach their true potential.

The Swimmer's Mind: Mastering the Mental Side of Swimming


Book Description

You're in the pursuit of excellence and success as a swimmer. At the end of the day, it's not physical talent, physical skill, or physical ability that's going to make the difference. What makes the difference is mindset, mentality, and attitude. What separates good swimmers from great swimmers is the mental side of the sport. This book is designed to help swimmers such as yourself to develop the mental strength and emotional resilience necessary to think strong, feel confident, swim fast, and be your best. To do that, The Swimmer's Mind contains 320 pages of the same strategies and methodologies I use when working with my individual clients and NCAA D1 Nationally-Ranked Swim Programs which have produced proven results and success at the Age-Group, National, NCAA, and International level. Readers will learn how to master the core aspects of the mental side of swimming such as how to be confident, how to eliminate nerves, how to create a strong racing mindset, and much, much more. If you're only focused on the physical side of the sport and not currently working to improve your mind for swimming, then you're neglecting the most important tool you have as a swimmer.
