I can be a little clumsy when it comes to planning and organizing my week. There is a weekly to-do list. There is a daily to-do list. There's even a "don't do" list. And then there are the notes I took. Yes, there are "notes", not "grades".
Sometimes, I spend so much time thinking and planning the things I want to do that it takes me a long time to take action to get them done.
This is a mistake.
This is the moment when I realized that an easier way to move forward in order to achieve my expectations from life is to break down exactly what I need during the day and start that day immediately by seeing what I need to do in each piece. I said.
Let me explain a little more...
We spend all this time thinking about the big applause, big awards or gold medals at the end of the rainbow because we forget to focus on the things we need to do right now. Daydreaming is fun, easy, and ironically enough. Our little daydreams feel good enough - our brains can't tell the difference between imagined and real experiences - forcing us to do nothing (I'll explain how this can benefit from a training perspective in another post).
So how can we fix this?
Take a break from your dreams for a few minutes, grab a pen or open the notes section of your phone or tablet and let's do a quick homework assignment (It will be very easy, believe me and as long as you do this, you will be successful). Write down this big goal on your tablet, at the top of a piece of paper, or in the notes on your mobile phone. Whatever that goal is,
Don't waste time worrying about whether you have enough time, or whether your teammates will laugh at you, or whether your coach thinks you're crazy.
Just write it down. Don't think about it.
For the purposes of this exercise, the program is much more important than the goal. With a proper program you can achieve great things. Point. The goal becomes almost irrelevant.
Now. The fun part... The effective part...
To achieve that goal, to be that swimmer, to reach the levels you dream of... What will a typical day look like for you? In other words, what do you need to do on a daily basis to make this happen?
This can be seen as a moment of miracle shock for swimmers who prefer to unwind and relax in their dreams, to be in a safe haven from the harsh demands of perfection; but for the rest, this is an exciting moment when you can make a clear connection between where you are now and where you want to be. Think about it... and write it down. From sunrise to sunset, what do you need to do on a daily basis to make that goal a reality?
If you're starting off poorly, will you spend five extra minutes after each workout?
To improve your spins, all Will you do quick foot tapping and fast flip turns during training?
How much attention do you pay to your nutrition, which is one of the factors that affects your performance the most? Let's admit that; We all consume that junk food or fast food style diet from time to time. So what do we do next to balance this? Do you plan to set limits in a more structured way from now on?
When you realize that you spend time watching TV series, playing games or texting with friends until very late every night, will you create a cut-off point to get the sleep you need? ?
Write these down and be that swimmer when you wake up tomorrow.
