Kudos to David for teaching this, it worked wonders for me in the gym and in the water! Focusing on being present and putting as much intent as possible into the current rep makes a lot of difference. And it also helps to take away the disappointment if you don't reach the number of reps planned for that given set, be it in the gym or in the water, because you know you did your best during the execution of the reps you managed. It helps to enjoy the process more, not only be focused on external cues. Because we get "infinitely" reps in during swimming (x amount of turns, strokes, underwater kicks, etc.), being present in the moment will pay dividends in the long run.

The swimmers who make it all share the same few things, and you can copy every one… In this one I break down our latest team call: Liam's week training under Bob Bowman, how to show up to camp ready, and locking in your race-day mindset. I'm dropping the link to his Skool post in the comments below. Here's what's inside: 👉 What it's really like to be coached by Bob Bowman 👉 Why weeks out of the water cost more than you think 👉 The one race-morning mistake you can't afford 👉 The 3 things every successful swimmer has in common Here's the replay. 👇 Drop your take: is taking 2, 3, 4, (5??) full weeks OUT of the water over summer smart recovery, or are you handing your rivals a head start you'll never get back??!!

I'll be straight with you: this is an experiment, but it's easy to measure and I believe in it. So we do it together .. swimmers, parents, and me as your guide. No nagging. You're the boss. Here's why my heart burns for this one. The scroll quietly pulls a little life out of you every day. It gives us something .. distraction, boredom relief, a feeling of belonging .. otherwise we wouldn't do it. Nothing wrong with you. But it does not give you real connection, it does not give you love, and the problems don't go away. Being present does. Swimmers, you can win at this because you have a WHY: you love swimming, you want to level up, you're go-getters who respond to a challenge. And this is a challenge. Parents, you being here is the edge .. at this age advice lands better from the side than from mum or dad, so I carry the message for you. Together. Do all 3 in the comments 👇 1️⃣ Baseline screenshot. Your weekly screen time. - 📱 iPhone: Settings → Screen Time → See All Activity → switch to Week → screenshot. - 🤖 Android: Settings → Digital Wellbeing → tap the bar chart → Week → screenshot. 2️⃣ WHY you want less screen time. Swimmers your reason, parents yours. Be 100% honest. 3️⃣ WHAT it actually gives you. Distraction? Boredom? Feeling connected or informed? No wrong answer .. if you're not sure, journal on it for 7 minutes. I only coach the people who take step 1, so post your baseline. In a couple of days we move to the next step, gamify it, and adjust as we learn. Two easy wins today: no phones at dinner (parents lead), and phone away 30 min before bed. This is really about not wasting the potential you've clearly got!! Let the games begin .. first screenshot this Sunday, me included. 💪

Aaaaaand we finally get to say it out loud 👀 3 things dropped today, and one of them is genuinely a "wait, WHAT?" moment: 1) The surprise 🏆 We expanded the coaching staff for the summer Performance Accelerators in Tenerife… and we landed a WORLD RECORD HOLDER. He famously lost to Michael Phelps by 1/100 in the 100m fly. He's coaching at BOTH camps, for the full month. Your swimmers are going to lose their minds (in the best way). More on who it is in today's video. 2) The No-Nag Method 📵 Get your swimmer off the phone WITHOUT nagging, confiscating, or being the bad guy. It's free, it runs right here in the group, and we're capping it at 30 swim families (we're already most of the way there). It kicks off the last week of June. Read this pinned post to see how to claim one of the last spots. We're almost full. 3) The free creatine guide 💪 20+ peer-reviewed studies, all on competitive swimmers (not runners, not triathletes). Interactive quiz + a full Swimpros PDF specifically designed to give you everything you need to know to make your own decision. 👉 It's FREE in here until tomorrow (Friday) evening. Afterwards it's living inside the Premium Membership. Comment "CREATINE" below and I'll send you the secret link. And then go watch today's video for the full surprise 👇

What motivates you?What motivates you to push forward? In swimming, life. Over all. For me competition. Not in like a race, swim meet. But raw competition. Triyng to outperform everybody else. It motivates me like nothing else.....
