According to Mike Edger mental training is the segment of sports psychology that concentrates specifically on helping athletes break through the mental barriers that are keeping them from performing up to their peak potential. A lot of coaches and swimmers avoid to use mental training as they feel that it has nothing beneficial to their performance to offer them. As we all know great performances is a combination of technique, training, nutrition, and psychology. So I say that developing a mental preparation routine will only help swimmers improve their performance.
