My daughter has had time off due to an ankle injury. Anyone got any advice on how to get back into training as she’s got a meet coming up and wants to drop her PB’s? Thanks

***UPDATE: This only concerns members at Level 1 - Lurker*** I’d absolutely HATE to remove you from the MindGym FREE group. You’re here because you deserve access to a proven way to overcome pre-race anxiety—a way that’s helped swimmers from Olympic champions to age-groupers. But let’s be real about why you’re here… - School hasn’t taught it. - Swim coaches can’t focus on it with their packed schedules and big groups - And as parents, you want to help, but sometimes the best intentions add to the pressure. Pre-race anxiety isn’t about swimming “tougher.” It’s about mastering the mind. Science backs what we’re teaching here, and I’ve seen it work 100's of times over. So, the question isn’t if the MindGym works. The question is: 🚨 Are you willing to do the work? Is the pain of watching yourself underperform when it matters most greater than the discomfort of making a change? Starting in November, we’re clearing out members who aren’t engaging. I don’t want the biggest group—I want the most successful, happy, and committed swimmers and parents. If you’re ready to make MindGym your game-changer, here are 6 ideas: 1. Check your DMs and text me back 2. Introduce yourself in the START HERE post 3. Grab the 30-Day Improvement Plan 4. Register for the next Live Training: "The Ultimate Pre-Race Checklist for Nationals" 5. Comment on posts to support and connect with other members 6. Use the tools in the Classroom and share what’s working (or what isn’t) Don’t make me remove you from the community. Get active, and I promise you'll even surprise yourself with the results that come from consistent action. PS: If you get to Level 5 - National Swimmer like @Luiza Koziol, you get a free 1-1 coaching session with me.

Akira—who you’ve probably seen celebrated on our MindGym FREE About Page—just dropped a staggering 6-second PB in the 200 fly. His new time? 2:02.88. That’s more than just a number; it’s a breakthrough. This isn’t just about fast swims. It’s about turning anxiety into confidence, nerves into fuel, and doubts into pure belief. Imagine finally standing on the blocks feeling calm, collected, and ready to crush it. But let’s be real. If you’re still lurking, still hesitant, I get it. Maybe you’re thinking, What if I'm just too nervous? What if this doesn’t work for me? Here’s what I know: the MindGym system works. I’ve proven it. The only question is, are YOU willing to do the work? If there’s even a sliver of doubt, start with the 30-Day Improvement Plan. Because let me tell you, the difference I see between those who dive in with a plan and those who don’t—it’s night and day. The choice is yours. But you wanna stack the odds in your favor 🚀🏊🏼‍♂️

Hello 👋, How do you stay motivated to swim regularly, especially on tough days?

Hi, I am a mother of 14 year old girl, swimmer. And I think she suffers from all I have read here – pre-race anxiety, going through start lists and being afraid of competitors, visualizing everything that can go wrong. But that’s not only it. She had serious health problems with knees and ankle and although it was healed to some extent it left her with hurt soul and low self-esteem
