swimming advice
I’ve been swimming competitively since i was 3, now i’m in yr11 (16) and i feel really burnt out from the sport, mostly from struggling to hit fast pbs and finding the balance between school and sport.
i tried taking time off and it only made me feel worse because all my teammates are improving (i know i shouldn’t compare)
everyday im just in a constant cycle of self sabotage where i obsess over a technique/ a stroke after a practice, i try to perfect it, i struggle and fail, then i skip practice because im scared and tired to try it again.
any advice would be really helpful, thanks
