SwimEQ – Emotional Intelligence for Triathletes and Swimmers
From the Book’s Introduction…
The Greek philosopher Plato said ‘Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion and knowledge’. Our behavior in sports is no different. When learning new skills, or practicing established skills during training, or competing in a race situation, the outcomes are highly influenced by your emotional state.
Does the thought of swimming in open water make you nervous? Do you get anxious on race day? Do you find it difficult to find the same mental clarity in the open water that you have in the pool?
The key to successful swimming in pool, open water and racing environments is mental strength. SwimEQ provides you with logical and sequential tools to maximize your emotional intelligence, strengthening the pathway between feeling and performance.
Read SwimEQ to raise your emotional intelligence and to train, race and perform with success.
In this book you will find:
- Why you feel emotional fluctuations such as stress, fear or anxiety and what happens to your body.
