i am missing the feel of the water over my arms as i do my strokes and the feel of the strength i can compact into my turns :( i am having with draws, and a swimmer with withdraws is not a happy camper. i am trying to wait patiently for the summer swim league to start. and i have promised myself i would swim the 100 fly as much as i can to i can make it to state in the high school swim season. :) i am really only a few seconds off. ok maybe alot, like 5 to 6 seconds off of makin' finals. lol

hey everyone! i have not been online in a while because of practice and school.
so, state was this weekend and it was a lot of fun! i swam two individual events and 4 relays. i swam 200 and 100 breaststroke. i have a huge story for the 200, so i'll talk about the 100. i made it back to finals with a 1:11.11 in the 100 breaststroke, and was able to wear my TYR Tracer at finals! i finally broke 1:10, and got 1:09.73!!!!!!!!!!! i was so happy! i got 9th in the 15-16 group, but would've gotten 6th if i hadn't bombed my first race. ug. oh well
so, back to the 200 breast. i was nervous, and swam a 1:37 in prelims. on the last 75 of the race, i couldn't breath. i thought i was going to be fine, but when i made it back to prelims and swam it, i dived in and couldn't breath at all. i was not and could not go through a whole 200 without being able to breath, so i stopped after a 100. my coach came over, told me to get out, and then talked to me about it. i was crying and i was so disappointed that i wasn't able to finish. i went to the doctor afterward, and she told me that they couldn't find anything wrong with me. that means that i do not have asthma, and the reason why my throat was closing up is because i was nervous and thinking that i wouldn't be able to do good on my race. after that, i was fine for the rest of the weekend.
so that's my story. i got a 27.93 in my 50 free for relay, 1:01.8 in 100 free for relay, 32.02 in 50 breast for relay, and 1:09.8 in 100 breast for relay. i did very well in this meet, and am happy with my performance. see ya!

Using
NLP in Sport
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is
the process of creating models of excellence. Modelling is the complex activity
of capturing in a learnable transferable code the differences that make a
difference between an excellent performer and an average performer, between an
excellent athlete and an average one, a person who is motivated to get the best
out of themselves in training and one who is not. NLP, then, is the process of
identifying, coding and transferring precisely those differences in a learnable
form to the interested participants and companies to allow significant
upgrading of their performance to levels of excellence.
Results in sport depend crucially on your ability to use your
mind effectively. Many elite athletes say the mental aspects of sport make the
difference between being a champion or not. As little
as 1% can be the difference between
being a champion and being ranked 50th in the world! what ever the level
of sport your compete or coach at, or whether your a teacher a fitness
professional your mind set has a major influence of the degree of success and
fulfilment you achieve in your sport

So, I enjoy following the Olympics every two years, and it has always been my life goal to compete in the Olympics someday. Well, I was doing this project on the Vancover 2010 Olympics when I came across information on the Youth Olympics. I was literally bouncing up and down with joy. I had never heard about this until then. Now, my coach and I are training hard for the 2014 Youth Olympics! (I'm not able to go to the 2010 summer olympics) Well that shows how connected I am with the news!
