How many of us "lean in" to the pre race nerves we feel before racing? Do you shy away from those feelings or embrace them and use them to your advantage? And shouldn't those nerves be absent in masters swimming, because we are just challenging ourself? Well it turns out that can make us nervous too!

US Masters swimmer Brian Bergford is my guest on Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast today and gives us very in depth answers to these very questions. In his day job, Brian is a performance psychology coach and he applies all his learning to his own swimming as well as many other athletes. What can we learn from that for our own masters swimming?

Brian is a passionate masters swimmer, who discovered swimming as an adult, and who strives for excellence and personal betterment in both training and racing. How does he do that?

Well you need to listen into the pod to find out. You won't be disappointed!
