5 Ways to Become an Elite Swimmer



So you want to be amongst the best, the top, the elite – is that right? It won’t happen overnight, and it won’t just be handed to you. Being the best will take your ABSOLUTE best. Here’s how you can work your way to the top:

1.       Be Proactive.  Don’t sit around waiting for someone else to tell you what you should be doing, when you should be doing it, etc. Elite athletes don’t wait for anything to be handed to them; they go out and chase what they want.
2.       Successful Environment. Surround yourself with individuals who have the same vision and determination as you. This will lessen the chances of your success being derailed. Plus if you are competitive in nature, all the better! You will be constantly looking for ways to improve.
3.       Empower Others. Elite athletes always support others and do what they can to help others achieve their goals. You never know when someone is having a hard day or are feeling discouraged. A simple compliment could change someone’s entire day!
4.       Appreciate the Journey. Changes don’t happen overnight and you’re not going to do your best without practicing. The journey takes time; it is something you can’t rush. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
5.       Plan Wisely. Success isn’t just going to come to you. It’s the result of a great amount of planning combined with the necessary actions. You wouldn’t just start driving your car and happen to arrive at your desired location, just as you won’t hop in the pool and be #1 overnight.
