The Secret To Acheiving That All Important Cut
The Secret To Acheiving That All Important Cut
THE PROBLEM
I was talking to a swimmer just this morning who shared with me a familiar, incredibly frustrating story. She was very close to her Olympics Trials cut for the last Olympics and hoping to make the team to represent her country. Everyone around her – her teammates, coach, parents and even this athlete herself – were convinced she'd qualify. This was because she was easily doing the time in practice.
However, with each meet that went by, she kept missing the cut by a second or so. And with her last chance to qualify, the very same thing happened, only this time she missed the cut by just .3 seconds! Two weeks later, when it no longer counted, she swam her Olympic Trials cut time.
