Since we got a lot of IM-ers in the MindGym I thought I share another one from the summer. This was a pressure cooker!!! @Gartmann Gartmann had trained well all season but this summer was going to be different: He qualified for the 2024 Summer European Championships in Belgrade. That was a big breakthrough for Gian-Luca Gartmann. And at the same time... It seemed scary. As the big race got closer, doubt and insecurity crept in... We mostly worked on his breathing, not freaking out during taper when something didn't go as planned, and visualization. He then went to Belgrade and crushed it at his first Euro Champs. So happy for him and he continues to perform great. We'll hopefully see him on TV at the World Champs in Singapore in the summer 2025 🚀😃 Here are all his PBs: https://www.swimrankings.net/index.php?page=athleteDetail&athleteId=4813079 And that's his personal website if you're curious: https://www.gianlucagartmann.com/

Big PB on the 2 fly 1,10 away from nationals time cut. And a small one on the 2 IM. Exited for next weekend, 50 fly, 4 IM and 100 fly

this morning I took part in a sprint meet containing only 50s and also 200m IM. I'm not much of a sprinter I specialise in 200s and 400s so I rarely swim 50s. 200m IM - first time doing it 🥉 50m fly - 4 sec pb 50m free +1 sec i felt so dissapointef after this one bc it was the one I felt most excited and ready for as it's been going so well in training I felt so down after not because of the time but because of how I felt when I swam it I didn't think I gave it my all 50m back - 0.4 sec pb my backstroke has kind of paused recently I seem to be stuck at similar times and I slipped on the start 😂 50m breast - 2 sec pb seeing as I was quite tired I was quite happy with that time I also was too close on my turn overall I definitely feel like it wasn't my best meet. even tho I got pbs it's just the way I felt during some of the races after the 50 free I was too hard on myself and let it affect my other races I definitely need to learn to overcome that so it doesn't affect the rest of my performance. I need to understand that my performances are going to fluctuate and I'm going to have bad days and good days. today happened to be a bad day which my competition fell onto. I wanted to share so that everyone can understand there's not always going to be good days during comps and u can't be to hard on urself

Akira—who you’ve probably seen celebrated on our MindGym FREE About Page—just dropped a staggering 6-second PB in the 200 fly. His new time? 2:02.88. That’s more than just a number; it’s a breakthrough. This isn’t just about fast swims. It’s about turning anxiety into confidence, nerves into fuel, and doubts into pure belief. Imagine finally standing on the blocks feeling calm, collected, and ready to crush it. But let’s be real. If you’re still lurking, still hesitant, I get it. Maybe you’re thinking, What if I'm just too nervous? What if this doesn’t work for me? Here’s what I know: the MindGym system works. I’ve proven it. The only question is, are YOU willing to do the work? If there’s even a sliver of doubt, start with the 30-Day Improvement Plan. Because let me tell you, the difference I see between those who dive in with a plan and those who don’t—it’s night and day. The choice is yours. But you wanna stack the odds in your favor 🚀🏊🏼‍♂️
