Great post! I'm no coach, but am continually wrestling with how to improve my mindset to drive an improvement in my swimming. I just finished an old book called "With Winning in Mind" by Olympic Gold Medalist in shooting, Larry Bassham. He makes a similar point when he says, if so many people say athletic performance is "90% mental", what percent of their training actually includes the mental side? FAR less than 90%! Keep writing Rebecca, so much to learn, so little time.

Thanks Mark, I will definitely check that book out.
