How has a sports psychologist helped with swimming performance?
Hell's a sports psychologist, help with swimming performance while I had a wonderful sport psychologist for a period of time when he Swift when I was living back in Australia and swimming. And what Wendy taught me was to just help me or geek. She gave me skills to keep my thoughts in line with the present moment. And I suffered from performance anxiety, and I just remember sitting behind the block at the Sydney Olympics in the year, two thousand four hundred meters backstroke and and after ER, 16 years of my preparation of 16 years. I honestly look down the lane and didn't believe that I could beat Leonard Rosenberg, who was next to me and Matt Walsh, who is next to Lani. And so, when you think of it like that, it's like, wow, like how tragic that you wasted 16 years to get you to the point where this is, the, this is the ideal moment in a swimming career. And to be honest, I was beat Before the Race even started. So, and that was because my thoughts were out in the future Beyond when the A race had finished. And the picture that I was creating in those thoughts was built from, or engineered from my past. Okay, so, so yeah, I mean, that's how Wendy helped me and I just think, you know, so many people, particularly young kids suffer from this today. So, just understanding how important it is to keep your thoughts. In the current moment, you're only really living life when your thoughts are present.
