Surfacing
I’ve trained for months for a 3 minute dive
How do I do this without messing it up?
How I deal with pressure:
- I’ve got one chance- Find all the reasons why you can- I’m prepared- Is it difficult, scary, painful or is it just
different? - Sometimes it’s just tough- Concentrate on what you are doing
and not on the result
- Let yourself have fun- Notice moments when you can do your
thing- Then get on with it- Mantras- Positive images- Coach/athlete relationship - Be honest- Magic Stuff
