"Because I watched how his muscles were functioning on the previous rep and how he was wincing I deduced that he was holding back."
"You have to learn to channel all of your emotions into your actions while in the gym. When you can do this, you will notice a new person emerge inside and outside the gym. "

Create a "Bias for Action"With this ingrained sense of urgency, you develop a "bias for action." You take action rather than talking continually about what you are going to do. You focus on specific steps you can take immediately. By employing this technique you concentrate on the things you can do right now to get the results you want and achieve the goals you desire.

Summer 2010 motivational goals
Parkway meet
- 50M free - 25.70 = 22.00
- 100M back - 1:04.0(31.5, 32.5) = 53.4(26.3,27.1) scy
- Improve every 6x100 @ 10:00 test set average from before 05.01.10
- Improve on every 8x100 Kick @ 5-10sec RI interval from before 05.01.10
05.09.10 - I felt horrible after loosing the 50 & 100 free to a friend at my last competition. Made me very angry to loose both of those races! Also, I want to be the fastest swimmer anyone on the summer team I coach knows.
05.10.10 - No workout today, but the new Rita Mae Brown quote got me thinking that I shouldn't look for motivation from what others do but what I should do. Going to try and shift my focus to see if I can get to where I can beat my personal best races in practice this year. Although the thought of competing in US nationals is what I am going to try and derive my motivation from.
05.11.10 - As mentioned yesterday, I am planning on using my desire to qualify for US nationals in 100 Fly which requires a 48.6 qualifying time. So I figure I need to be able to even split a 100fly in 52sec-(26,26) to be in that ballpark... Gonna put this emotion into my swims tonight!
05.12.10 - I'm even more excited to see I "only" need a 50.69 100yd back to qualify for scy nationals in December. So my goal pace for even split 6x100 Back would be about 5sec greater from a push (27.8, 27.8)-55.6. I'll try and think about that to push myself to a new 6x100 back best average!
05.13.10 - Going to have that 50.69sec 100yd back in mind tomorrow to push through the pain. I want to get back into the habit of running my HR 180+ and start getting over 200bpm again. I want to start feeling the pain in my muscles as I push them well beyond their limits! I will be looking for it in every repeat/set tomorrow...
05.16.10 - I'm pretty excited to start my job Monday. I don't just want to be successful in one thing, I want to be the whole package! Hopefully I can tie all my desire for success at work and my desire to qualify for nationals together in my workout tomorrow. I feel like I am ready for many personal bests tomorrow in both swim and lifting... I want to take in all the pain and let it TRANSFORM me!
05.18.10 - Yesterday was far too busy with first day of work to focus on swimming. I was mentally exhausted and physically running on sub-par sleep. So tomorrow I plan on starting my first AM workout. I'm pretty excited to swim fast after the excitement of coaching the summer swim team prep groups. They had a bunch of fun and improved a ton. Feel like I can channel that excitement and desire to qualify for nationals into my workout tomorrow morning! My #1 goal is to get my intensity up and make it hurt since it will be my first AM. Going to feed off of the 48.6 100fly cut and 49.6 100back cut to push into some personal bests!!!
05.23.10 -> Future. Keeping my motivation log in my car in a journal just to write down my motivation each day before each workout so it is even more fresh in my mind.
