ABOUT
Choosing mindful training over mindless training
​
The MindSet SwimLog was developed out of a passion for the sport and a wish to see all swimmers (including my own child) reach their full potential. It encourages swimmers to AIM. TRAIN. GAIN. and is a simple and effective training tool. The MindSet SwimLog enables all swimmers to harness their full potential by facilitating a positive MindSet of mindful rather than mindless training.
​
The MindSet SwimLog was inspired by the words of my, at the time, eleven year old son. After completing a busy and successful swim season I suggested that his commitment and effort had resulted in his achievements. He swiftly corrected me saying, “It’s not all about the training, it's about believing you can!” This simple answer made me rethink my initial assumption, that hard work alone will deliver results. I realised then, what my eleven year old had already figured out... that there is more to sport than just training. It is also about having the right MindSet during training and during competition.
Many young athletes aren’t sure how to fill the blank pages of a journal. Their time is limited and after hours of training they really don’t want to be bogged down by extra “swimming homework.” My intention from the start was to ensure that the layout was simple, functional and effective making the MindSet SwimLog quick and easy to complete. Filling your training logbook in should take no more than 10 minutes a day.
​
The MindSet SwimLog helps swimmers of all ages to make the most of the many hours spent in the water and gives every swimmer the best opportunity to succeed. It teaches swimmers to set goals and to work hard in order to achieve them. It gives swimmers confidence in their training and their ability and inspires them to overcome challenges. Most importantly the MindSet SwimLog celebrates the small successes that are a part of the swimming journey each season.
