Working On Your Concentration Skills in Practice

Working On Your Concentration Skills in Practice
By Dr. Alan Goldberg//Competitivedge.com
There's no question that races are won and lost before the start. If the quality of your training is poor, that is, if you skip practices, accumulate a lot of “garbage yardage” where you just go through the motions, back down when it gets tough and fail to pay attention to the important details when you swim, then your race results will always reflect this.
But did you know that you can systematically raise the level of your training while at the same time strengthening your mental muscles? That's right, you can consistently build your mental toughness in the pool every day while at the same time prepare yourself to swim fast when it counts the most! You do this by deliberately practicing your concentration skills while you train!
