THE POWER OF THE PRESENT
Have you trained for hours without seeing results? Brian Holliday wants you to move with the water rather than fight it, here he explains why you should consider intuitive swimming.
They say there’s a moment between stimulus and response, a fleeting instant known as the present moment. The present moment is always here, always available to us. Even if we happen to miss one moment, the next is already here.
Why does the present moment matter? Because it is within the present moment that change becomes possible, and we come to understand that change, in fact, is always within reach.
SO HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO SWIMMING?
To delve deeper into our swimming experience and uncover underlying issues in the way we swim, we must immerse ourselves in the present moment.
Traditional problem-solving approaches and conventional swimming coaching rely on trying harder, concentrating, and focusing. Our relentless pursuit of perfect technique, faster speed and greater distance leads us to strain, pushing ourselves through pain.
