Train and Behave Like a Pro

by Olivier Leroy

And it’s on the importance of training and behaving like a pro. 

Even though maybe you aren’t a pro (yet).

Why?

Because amateurs do big things in the water by accident.

Amateurs exhaust themselves trying to get inspired. 

Amateurs wait for circumstances to be perfect. 

Amateurs seek validation from others about their abilities. 

Be a pro. 

Pros don’t wait. 

Pros don’t expect things to be perfect. 

Pros don’t sit around waiting to “feel” motivated to do the work. 

And if there is one, overarching reason to strap on that pro mindset, it’s this…

Only a pro mindset eventually delivers pro results. 

So:

• If you’re going to practice today, every meter should drip with focus and your best effort. 

• If you’re hitting the weight room later today, every rep from the dynamic stretches in the warm-up to the 1RM lifts are done with technique cleaner than a freshly chlorinated pool. 

• If you’re face-to-face with a brutal main set this morning, your body language and outlook is all business.

Go get your pro on today. 

See you in the water,
