Power Your Willpower

USA Swimming
Athletes in every sport have been introduced to the idea of willpower and how necessary that characteristic is to success at elite levels of sport. Willpower is one of those vaguely explained and often misunderstood concepts in the language of sport. One of the more popular descriptions of how you demonstrate willpower is having "unshakable perseverance and self-control that is directed toward a goal or objective in spite of adversity, physical demand, physical pain, or how much time it takes to succeed."
