Recently I had a meet and with David's breathing technique I didn't have pre race anxiety anymore and felt confident and calm before the race especially before the 200 fly and minused 3 seconds from it and had 2 races before as well. I recommend the breathing technique to swimmers that go through pre race anxiety and being scared before a race because it really helped a lot.

Here's what I'd do if I wanted my girl to suffer from bad pre-race anxiety: Tell her... 1) That she's very, VERY talented. And do it often! 2) To relax and just have fun! (oh yeeee, we've all been there. Backfires!) 3) You got this, you can PB! 4) I KNOW you can win this thing! 5) Just do what you practiced. 6) You're better than the others. 7) BONUS: I compare her to other age-groupers all day long (I see you parents 🙈) Got any other terrible advice? Drop them below in the comment section.
