"You don't rise to the level of you goals. You fall to the level of your systems" - James Clear - Atomic Habits.

This week we discuss the systems that coaches, athletes and parents use to help produce success in the sport of swimming. This can be something as simple as eating at a different time to getting enough sleep, from focusing on the right parts of a workout to choosing how to react at a swim meet.

All these are covered this week ... let's dive in!
