Congrats to Maria!! She's had a couple 1-1 sessions with me but doing EXACTLY what I'm teaching you in the MindGym. Crazy thing is that she hasn't PB'ed for 2 years. Used to be super fast when she was young... Then plateaued for 2 years. Now finally the breakthrough. Got any new PB's or wins? Or lessons? Post them so others can see what's working and what's not working.

I've always struggled short course not being a very powerful swimmer - a big problem when most top breaststrokers spend almost half the race underwater! Last weekend I had a great time racing in Sheffield and managed to set 3 PBs. 50 BR - 31.10 --> 30.52 (finally faster than my long course 😂) 100 BR - 1:07.79 --> 1:06.53 200 BR - 2:28.33 --> 2:27.20 I even managed to sneak under 30 seconds on my relay split (29.98) which was awesome. The 200 needs some big improvements still but it's getting there. Short course season is never a focus, but it's been a good chance for me to work on my weaknesses like turns etc. and hopefully this will carry into long course improvements. I think what worked best was my mentality approaching races. I may have missed national qualifying times by tiny margins in each race, but I still approached the next race with the same confidence that I was improving. In short, trust the process, if you work smart you will succeed eventually.

I could really need bit of help because my times are too slow. And I am age 14

We just recently came across David and the Mind Gym but have been eager to learn and put into place some new strategies to help our daughter grow. Today she finally broke through a new threshold and got quite a few PBs by a little bit of time. I haven’t seen her glow at a meet like today in awhile! Looking forward to continuing to grow alongside her! 😊

Some nice pb’s this weekend, happy with the outcome especially the 100 fly. This one was a big obstacle for me cause I came close a lot of times. 4 IM was a surprise for me and the 50 fly wasn’t something to shorten about +0,34
