  Swimming Success - Training and...

  Competitive swimming is a sport that demands physical endurance, technical precision, and mental resilience. It is one of the most popular aquatic sports worldwide, with events ranging from short sprints to grueling long-distance races. Swimmers compete individually or as part of a relay team, striving to achieve the fastest times in their respective events. Unlike recreational swimming, competitive swimming requires structured training, strategic race execution, and a deep understanding of technique.  
    
  The history of competitive swimming dates back to ancient civilizations, but it was not until the 19th century that it became an organized sport. The first major swimming competitions took place in England, leading to the formation of governing bodies such as FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation), which now oversees international swimming events, including the Olympics and World Championships. The sport has since evolved with advancements in training methods, swimwear technology, and a greater emphasis on biomechanics.  
    
  Success in competitive swimming depends on mastering the four primary strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Each stroke has unique technical demands and is used in different race formats. Freestyle is the fastest and most commonly raced stroke, while backstroke is the only event swum on the back. Breaststroke requires precise timing and powerful movements, and butterfly is known for its demanding strength and coordination. In addition to individual strokes, swimmers compete in medley events that combine all four.

  From the trainer and high-performance expert behind LeBron James and other superstars, a blueprint to achieving peak physical and psychological well-being—and sustaining it for the long haul. With a foreword by LeBron. 
  “Mike Mancias is more than a teacher or trainer, his approach to health and wellness is an approach to life. If you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.” —Usher 
  Mike Mancias has spent two decades developing and refining a winning blueprint for athletic excellence. He’s worked with countless professional athletes, sports franchises, and the US Olympic Program. And his methods have propelled the rise of LeBron James, arguably the best-trained athlete in the world, and the gold standard for elite longevity. In Game Plan, he shares those secrets with the rest of us. 
  Over the course of three parts—the first focused on nutrition (“Eat with performance first and foremost in your mind”), the second on physical training (“We find the best ways to keep the body in constant motion”), and the third on recovery (“Recovery doesn’t start after performance but during performance”)—Mancias guides readers on their own journey to tiptop performance. 
  Revelations include the precise time to eat before an athletic pursuit, the hidden pitfalls of stretching, the right temperature for sleeping, therapeutic breathing techniques to turn off stress, and why naps are not just for babies. Throughout, Mancias makes the case that excellence must begin with the mind before it can manifest in the body—and shows you how to cultivate it. 
  Game Plan offers an actionable, holistic, and comprehensive roadmap to peak performance. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
