Reply To: Swimming Science Newsletter – USRPT NOT just a system of conditioning
Not that much different. He has always maintained that technique and mental training are the two most important aspects of swimmer’s success. The emphasis he puts on the psychological part of training is a little surprising however. I have to admit that after reading the paper I felt like I was not doing enough on the mental side. Although I am probably doing it automatically as I talk to and encourage the swimmers during the sets, it’s just hard to have a systematic approach to psychological training.
