Chapter 1
Mental Training - The Ultimate Secret Weapon

How To Use Your Mental Training Program

Welcome to my "Mind Training for Swimmers - Everything You Need To Know" eBook!

You have come to the right place. This book is designed to give you all the knowledge and techniques required to improve your swimming times and performance, and give you that extra boost of power you�ve been seeking. And that is exactly what I intend to do, with your help.

This book will provide many things - a mental training program, knowledge of all kinds of powerful techniques, the mind/body connection explained, ways to overcome short and long-term problems and mentally protecting yourself from swimmers who would like to bring you down.

The difference between this book and the free information which is supplied on my website is that this book delves deeper and is organised into a specific program for you to follow. I will show you exactly how to use each technique to it's fullest capability - and also provide the recommended repetitions and time periods required for each technique. This in-depth instruction simply cannot be provided through individual swimtips, which cannot possibly attain the level of improvement the mental training program can provide.

There's far too much information in this book for you to use all at once - all you need to do is follow the exact mental training program I set you, and the extra information can come in handy later. But don't rush ahead to the back of the book - as the program has been written in the exact order you need to learn it. By the time you finish this book, you will thoroughly understand each technique and be ready to embark on your training program.

I will teach you everything you need to know - but the most important thing is to create a mental training program for you, and that is my major goal. This is what creates the most powerful performances in the pool. That's when your part of the deal comes in - to stick to the program until the results begin to come through. And when the results begin to happen, you'll know about it! Everything in this book is not in the program however - it actually includes far more information than is required for your training program. It's designed to provide you with a great depth of knowledge for later on so you can troubleshoot any other problems that you may come across in the future. This also allows you to tailor your training program as your needs change over time.

This program has brought huge improvement and many personal best times, and I have no doubt that you can experience great success using it too. This is why I have tried to keep the program as simple, easy and user-friendly as possible - it takes a very small amount of time each day to follow the program. All you have to do is be dedicated enough to use the program on a daily basis, and you should experience great improvement in your performance. So remember, all I can do is show you how, the rest is up to you.

Even though it only takes a small amount of time each day, many swimmers do not possess the kind of long-term dedication to keep it up, so you must discipline yourself to do the exercise (which by the way, is actually a lot of fun!). That's the only catch, but if you really want success badly enough, I'm sure you'll be fine.

There'll be many ideas in this book which might create an impact on you immediately, and so the best thing to do is jot them down on paper immediately. This is because some of the most relevant information (to you, personally) may not always be listed in the summaries at the end of each chapter, but in some of the finer points I mention along the way, so best to jot them down as you go.

Just so you don't get confused about what's in your training program (and what's not) I have listed any 'training program techniques' first in the summaries (and in bold), plus they'll be highlighted with the words: Mental Training Program next to them. OK, now that's out of the way, let's move on.

To Begin

Over the years I've worked with many swimmers of all levels from Sydney, Australia plus I've been very lucky to be in contact with thousands of swimmers and coaches from all over the world through my weekly swimtips and the one thing that I've noticed more than anything is that the vast majority do not seem to have any real inner belief in themselves and their ability.

This creates other problems during meets like severe nervousness, inconsistency, training great but racing badly, intimidation from competitors, and so on. So in this book I have listed every technique, every mental secret required to overcome all these problems and more, plus help improve your times and create the results you desire. These techniques WORK. They've worked for many years and they will continue to bring results - even results which have surprised me! They must be used exactly as I say however, in order to 'fire on all cylinders'.

Mental training is now essential for any swimmer or athlete to make it to the elite level - it's one of the reasons why we are still continuing to produce new world records.

This is because humans use less than one percent of their mind's capabilities! Yes, you've read correctly, less than one percent - but this is good news because it means that YOU are still capable of huge improvement!

I doubt there would be a top athlete in the world today who doesn't use some form of mental training. It's used in all sports all over the world - but the interesting thing is, compared to other sports, it's been incredibly slow to happen in swimming.

This is because, in my opinion, the majority of swimmers are only interested in physical training, and have no interest in mental training at all - yet mastering the mind is now becoming an essential ingredient to reach the elite levels of any sport.

Your Mind Is The Control-Centre Of All Movement!

One main thread that you will find throughout this book is this; your mind controls your body. Think about that for a moment. Your mind controls your body, NOT the other way around.

The swimmers who don't train their minds simply do not have great control over their bodies either! This leaves their performance open to �chance� every time they go out to race.

That makes it a pretty important issue, wouldn't you think? Mental training may well be the vital difference between you attaining your dreams, or not - so do not take it lightly!

Training your mind is the same as training your body - it takes time to become mentally tough, so be prepared to put in some hard mental work if you want to get there. When two swimmers are of the same ability and similar training, it�s the mind which determines the winner, so this will give you an advantage over other swimmers who don't have a mental training program.

The goal of this program is to help you to pre-program your swim before you go to the pool, and to overcome any problems or limitations that you may have been experiencing up until now. When you�ve completed this book, you�ll have the knowledge to get into a peak frame of mind before you go out to race in a meet.

Sorry, but the discipline will be up to you! So get ready to increase your mental and physical power, and over time you should find that your swimming will simply begin to improve effortlessly, but only on the condition that you use the mental training program on a regular daily basis.

As you know very well, it's only a very slight edge that separates a winner from the rest of the field. One second in swimming can be an eternity, and that's all it takes for a champion to show their superiority. The mind is what creates this slight edge you're searching for. There was a time when only the world's champions did mental training, but now athletes all over the globe are realising that training their bodies alone will not get them to the top.

In the past, if a swimmer was racing badly, the first thing they�d do was train even harder. Sometimes this would pay off, but often it would lead to over-training - like a 19 year-old national swimmer I worked with, who discovered her energy levels were the same as that of a 50 year old!

Two main reasons caused many swimmers to turn to mental training. One was that many would swim unbelievable times in training but perform badly in the meets. The other was that most swimmers had also lost to competitors who simply were not as good as they were - and so it became obvious that the mind was the difference between winning and losing.

I'm sure you know deep down that you could be a better swimmer than you are right now - and that is why you are here. Possibly you're a swimmer who's put in the hard hours in training, but have not received the results that you deserve, and so you're making your first move into mental training. Or maybe you�ve done some form of mental training already, and are looking to further your knowledge. Either way, this book will contain everything you need.

It's a tragedy that in the past many fine swimmers have retired in frustration, not knowing that if only they'd trained their minds as well, they may have been champions.

Mental toughness creates the ability to pull a win out of even the most terrible circumstances, when you are not at your best.

The very fact that you're reading this book demonstrates that you are interested in attaining greater success, so let's begin your training, by first of all showing you how your mind and body are working when you are swimming at your best, and also the times when you are not. This knowledge is essential, so don't skip ahead, otherwise the rest of the book may not make any sense!

Are you a better swimmer than your results are showing?

- Great in swimming training, but not receiving the rewards?

- Fabulous swimming technique / strokes, but losing to lesser swimmers?

- Does your confidence disappear at the big swim meets?

- Do you worry too much about your competitors?

- Do you sometimes even feel physically sick on the day of a swim meet?

- Or are you an elite swimmer who is simply trying to move to the next level?

You're not alone - and don't worry, it's not too late to achieve your dreams!

swimming psychology helps improve swimming technique and strokes, which improves swim training and swim meet results
Mental strength is a major aspect that separates one swimmer from another.

Swimmers all over the world tell me they feel they could be getting better results for all the work they are putting in at swim training, and for their great swimming technique.

Yet the simple fact is that lack of results are most often due to their mind being untrained for success.

As a top international swimmer once said:

">In training everyone focuses on 90% physical and 10% mental, but in the races its 90% mental - because there's very little that separates us physically at the elite level".

If you're putting in the work at swimming training (and possibly a great swimming strokes and technique) butnot getting the payback for all your hard work.

Or if you suffer fromextreme nervousness, negative thoughts, or intimidation in the big swim meets, it's usually because your mind is sabotaging your performance (and this is very common in swimmers).

You see, your mind either works for you, or against you, just depending upon how you've "programmed" it!

Or possibly you are already a highly successful swimmer, but know that even though your results are good, they could be even better - and you are looking for that last piece of the jigsaw puzzle which will take your times to the stratosphere.

I runMind Training for Swimmers programs from Sydney, Australia (see my bio in the FAQ later) and I know that ANY swimmer can dramatically improve their times through mental training!

The first crucial step to getting better times, results or even just swimming faster, is todevelop is a deep, inner belief in your own ability, and this is best achieved through a consistent daily mental training program, which only takes about 10 minutes!

Mental training is easy, anyone can do it. Here are some of the benefits of mental training in competitive swimming ....

Massive Benefits Of Mental Training in Competitive Swimming....

    Not to mentionit stays with you forever.....

    Common Swim Problems You Can Overcome using Mental Training!

    All of these classic competitive swimming problems below can be overcome -do you need to overcome any of these?

      * Slumps in form / No personal best times for a long period

    • Extreme nervousness / lack of belief in yourself

  • Chronic pain or sickness during races, tiredness and fatigue outside of the pool

  • Regularly recurring swimming problems of all kinds

    • Yes, these can all be overcome through mental training !
    Sure Signs of Mental Training in Competitive Swimming.....

    What are some sure signs of mental strength in competitive swimming? They include the ability to:

    * pull out a fabulous swim when the pressure is truly on

    * come from behind to clinch a close victory from the jaws of failure

    * overcome major distractions and still perform at your best

    * swimming a fabulous timeeffortlessly

     * showing your great swimming training form (and technique) in the swim meets, where it counts most!

    >

    This is why elite swimmers often appear to swim oncruise control, while their competitors seem to expend more energy, without achieving the times!

    These are just a few of the amazing swim stories I have had the privilege to be involved with:

    • A teenage girl swam a personal best time every day for 30 days.

    • A 16 year old swimmer took 12 seconds off his Personal Best Time.

    • A Masters swimmer won the World Championship Surf LifeSaving Championships.

    • A young swimmer overcame severe illness to win 3 races and make the National team.

    • A 17 year old won his first swim meet from only 3 weeks of swimming training, after having been off swim training for 9 months with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome......

    Basically this is to say that regardless of the problem - with mental training, anyone can achieve their dreams in swimming.............

    Improve Your Times, Without Training Any Harder!

    Believe it or not, it's actually possible to improve your times even without making any changes to your existing swimming training - whatsoever! Many of the swimmers I've worked with have reported this.

    You see, training your mind (as well as your body) can transform your results quite effortlessly! This is becauseyour mind controls your body (not the other way around).

    This means that when it's trained correctly, it allows your body to swim much more efficiently, powerfully and effortlessly - bringing your competitive swimming times downfaster and easier than ever before (this is great news because most of your competitors only train their bodies).

    Mental training can help any swimmer. It doesn't matter whether you're an Olympic swimmer, a young "bullet performer", a long or short distance swimmer, or an open water or Masters swimmer, mental training canbring your times down!

    The most powerful performances in competitive swimming occur when you are in a mental state known around the world as 'the Zone'.......

    Discover "The Zone"

    The mental state known as 'The Zone' produces theabsolute peak of your competitive swimming capabilities - where your swim feels virtuallyeffortless, like you simply cannot do a thing wrong!


    This is when your highly powerful subconscious mind controls your swimming strokes and ensures your technique is perfect, rather than the (much weaker) conscious mind, which is what most swimmers use (and which is responsible for most of their problems).

     The great thing about it is thatmost people have no idea how to get into the Zone - which is why mental training can create a major advantage over your competitors!

    So are you using your conscious or subconscious mind when you are swimming?

    A sure way of knowing the answer is by looking at your recent results in big swim meets.

    Regardless of where you're at, learning to use your subconscious more efficiently can improve your results and get you into the winners circle more often.

    The Competitive Swimmer's Only True Secret Weapon

    FACT: Most swimmers are training only the physical side of their swimming (ie. improving strokes and technique, dryland work, etc) and usually ignore the mental (subconscious) side completely.

    This is actually great news (for you) - as this means that you can have a secret weapon on your side which your competitors won't have!

    While some swimmers plod along using the same old methods (and getting the same old recurring results) this program brings about positive, powerful change in the most potent area, your mind - which is the control-center of all your swimming performances.

    Only the mentally tough are a true force against the top swimmers, because it is such a huge advantage to have, in a sport where a hundredth of a second is an eternity.

    The Only Proof Is In Your Results!

    swimming psychology helps improve swimming technique and strokes
    Overcome
    swimmer pain, nerves,
    intimidation, and
    lack of belief
    through mental
    training

    It took 7 years of extensive experimentation and research before this mental training program delivered consistently great results.

    Many techniques such as visualization had to be specially tailored and specialized to suit swimmers otherwise they simply didn't work, as swimmers have a unique outlook quite unlike most other athletes.

    I found from my clients that other programs generally did not provide this specialized approach to competitive swimming they were seeking.

    I believe the only proof of a product can be measured in its results (not theories or hype), and when I was finally ready to launch the complete program.

    To my delight, fabulous results just began flowing in, one after another, from swimmers of all ages, standards and styles. Results in swim meets simply do not lie.

    Not only did their results and swimming times dramatically improve, but many also overcame huge long-term problems that they'd often had in their swimming for months and years.

    Nervousness, intimidation, negative thoughts, lack of belief, overwhelming pain, even technique and stroke problems they had been working on for ages....all these problems simply began to magically dissolve and fade away, leaving inner confidence and control in their place.

    Fast-Track Your Swim Success

    I built this program to be very easy to use (which was absolutely essential), and also so it could bepersonally tailored to each swimmer's individual needs, and used inas little as 5-10 minutes a day.

    Every step of the journey is clearly explained and signposted - covering literally everything you should ever need to know about mental training in your swimming career, both for right now - plus I also created it so it will take care of you in the future, as well.

    After years of using this program for my private swimming clients (only), it is now available to yourself and the general public for the first time, for those who've been searching for a major edge over their swimming competitors.

    To do this, I put the entireMind Training for Swimmers Program (all 44,542 words of it!) into a jam-packed, instantly-downloadable 'ebook', to help swimmers overcome almost any problem they may encounter -which can be downloaded onto your computer for your immediate use.

    This competitive swimming Program is the choice of many head coaches and swimmers around the world, and also many US University competitive swimming programs.

    It also INCLUDES your automatic ongoing membership and instant access to the huge mental training archive on this site (consisting of 200+ swim articles on mental training)- of which over 70 of these articles were printed in the Journal of the Australian Swim Teachers and Coaches Association (ASCTA), virtually the heartbeat of Australian competitive swimming.

    Swimming Testimonials

    Here's what others have had to say about the Program.....

    "This eBook program is full of great ideas and thoughts and has been written for swimmers. I believe this is an excellent book for senior swimmers, but to me it is a much needed book for swimming coaches.

    Although the book has been written for swimmers it could be used for anyone involved in competitive sport. In all, a great 'ebook' that could assist any coach in any sport and competitors."

    "I was having trouble competing against bigger, older, and stronger swimmers. Thanks in part to your mental training exercises, I have been able to drop a good amount of time in my events!

    My season was interrupted so it was very difficult to taper properly for the state meet - I used your book to help me focus on what I needed to do to accomplish my goals, not pleasing others or meeting time standards out of my range.

    In the past, people told me I was tense but didn't offer me a way to cope with nerves, and your book gave me the tools I could use.

    At the state meet I dropped a good amount of time, better than I could have imagined considering the awkward taper situation. Even better, I felt very in control of myself on deck and in the water.

    So thanks for the putting in the time to write a book so useable to someone as young as I am, and I hope you keep writing more books like this".
    Joshua Jackson, CA, USA

    "The program is amazing! I've noticed a major improvement in my confidence, and I find I'm no longer worrying about things before a swimming race so much.

    I actually look forward to doing the visualization exercise, and I couldn't be happier with my results! Thanks again".
    Stuart Meares, former World Champion - Masters Surf Life Saving Championships, Australian Masters National Record Holder 100m Individual Medley

    "Dear Craig:
    I bought your ebook Mind Training for Swimmers with some trepidation never having bought an ebook before and not being a swimmer.

    I am 52 years old and just learning how to swim for the first time. I was hoping your book would help me even though I am not swimming competitively and indeed it has.

    I continually apply your techniques and I have done amazingly well in the pool. My first formal swimming lesson was September 10, 2008. I have had eight lessons to date and I practice three times per week.

    I have learned the front crawl (freestyle), the backstroke, the elementary backstroke and I am currently learning the breaststroke. I have even successfully done kneeling and standing dives!

    I know what needs work (especially the front crawl) and work on those areas while simultaneously applying the numerous techniques you present in your book. I am learning and improving constantly and I feel like a champion.

    My instructors and the lifeguards are all in their 20’s; they are very proud of the progress I have made. My husband and I swim together; he encourages me and is very proud of me.

    So, perhaps you thought your book was only for competitive swimmers, but it applies to beginners as well. I know I would not have come this far this fast without your book.

    Thanks so much!
    Very truly yours,"
