Day 22 notes (25/1/22)

Quick review today as very tired. Been a very positive day where I’m feeling somewhat proud of my progress. Meetings are set up for the rest of the week with people from my support team and I am feeling positive about what is to come.

In truth, I am getting fairly overwhelmed about setting up this athlete mentoring programme. I am having confidence wobbles at the moment, and the question 'am I ready' and 'do you know what you're doing?' is cropping up regularly. It is quite ironic that this has been what happens to me at points during my swimming career, even though I know the answer is an overwhelming 'yes' to both. Understanding that the work I've done is enough sometimes is incredibly difficult for me to accept.

But, my confidence is growing, and writing this blog I understand everyday, more and more about myself and how I work. the pieces I am putting together in and out of the pool make sense, and even on my off days I feel like I'm still making progress.

Lovely evening with abs trying a new series ‘black-ish’ which was a good pick me up after watching united 93 earlier! A very dark, yet heroic film about what happened to the last plane and the only one that didn't reach the hijackers destination over 9/11.

Good training session and got abit competitive, love days like that 😁
