Swimmers get a mental boost
San Clemente High School’s swim team is getting a boost outside the water this season. Coaches Thomas Dollar and Sandy Kos have introduced Cybil Streett, a sports psychology specialist, to the swim program.
“The swimmers have been learning how to improve their performance with self-talk strategies, efficient goal-setting techniques, employing mindfulness to reduce anxiety and visualization to help with preparation for events on meet day,” Streett said via e-mail. “The goal is to work with the athletes, parents and coaches to work on the whole puzzle, not just one piece.”
