Physical Capital - Mind And Body

Our Physical Capital - the physiology we have at our disposal - can only take you so far, when races are won and lost by milliseconds, small adaptations can be the difference between a place on the podium or not. In this episode, we explore how the physiology of your body can give you an advantage in the sport of swimming and we shine a light on the impact swimming can have on your body and its development. Being ahead at the start of the race is physically important, it also gives you a mental edge, which some argue is even more important in this largely individual sport. So, we’ll also be diving into the mental side of swimming - how do you mould your mind to compete at the highest level? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
