Every time you do something there should be a reason or motivation behind it. When you dive into the pool you should have time you are aiming for or trying to qualify for a meet. When you compete it is important to have a goal in mind. Having a goal can motivate you to run faster, swim faster, and swing harder. When you compete you can dedicate your race/game to someone or something. You may dedicate it to yourself(after practicing hard you deserve it) and just go hard and fast. You could dedicate it to a goal such as getting a qualifying time. You may dedicate it to your family or coach (you might want to make your parents and coach proud). No matter what drives you to perform well do it with good intentions and purpose. Always have a hunger and want for success and winning.
Be driven,
