The Golden Rules of Bob Bowman
Bob Bowman has developed ten major gold rules, which began testing in practice, when Phelps was not yet ten years old. And then again and again I ran in these rules to other athletes, they grow out of the champions and successful people.
The idea is to push the man to the achievements and motivation to win gold on a daily basis. And it concerns not only the athletes. That is the essence of the method Bowman:
- Draw a big dream.
- Put milestones.
- Break all to pieces and see how it can be improved.

Therefore, we will talk about a few rules that will help you realize the dream.
Set a supertask
Work on the swimming coach is not to learn to float and swim perfectly. The coach must fulfill a dream, to see the potential, to disclose it, and to help to achieve success to anyone who wants it, pushing at the right time.
Bowman's method begins with one very important thing - ideas about the destination. You should clearly see where you want to go, what to achieve and what to be in the future. Hover your internal compass to the ultimate goal. Then the road becomes easier.
The image of the target - this is your most important task. Let Now she seems too bold or ambitious. Allow yourself to dream and see that dream come true.
When Alice asked the Cheshire Cat, where did it go, in return, she received quite reasonable: "Where do you want to go?". "I do not care", - said Alice. "Then I do not care where to go. You come somewhere. Just have to walk long enough. " And it's true.
If the off course, correct it
The world around us is changing. And the plan you outlined six months ago, may eventually become less accurate. To avoid this, sometimes Refer to your road map, and see whether you are on the right track.
In the book, Bob Bowman tells how Michael Phelps during the preparation for the Olympic Games in London almost everything is not ruined. After the games in Beijing, where Phelps won 8 gold medals, he basked in the glory. His photographs have appeared on the covers of magazines, he was invited on television, sponsors pay attention to it. Interests Phelps stopped boils down to, to swim the required distance.
Bowman realized that the situation had changed and Michael need some time to go beyond the diving world and become familiar with the new features that are showered upon him in abundance. But even Bowman knew that if Phelps did not gather - will not train to perform well in competitions, listen to their coach - it is waiting for failure.
At that time, Michael has gone astray. And the main mission was to get him back on the path to the goal. They had to go through the arguments and diplomatic conversations with each other, prodding and resentment, the pressure and threat of losing face.
As a result, Michael was able to gather. He no longer skipped a workout. Result - 4 more Olympic gold medals. But if not for the help of coach, who at the time said that the athlete is off course, the consequences would be dire.
That is why it is important to take care of yourself and check if you're going to get, which shows the inner compass. You can do this yourself, but you can find a mentor, or a like-minded friend who will be once a month, you have to ask, "How are you doing?". Believe me, this is enough.
On a bad day, do not lose focus
It is not possible every day to exude optimism and luchitsya happiness. Dream dreams, and daily work takes strength and unfortunately motivation. At this point, the main thing - do not give up. Olympic medalist Allison Schmitt perfectly illustrates this rule.
Every day, early in the morning, she comes to the pool in a good mood and always smiling, as the leading weather forecast. She was uneasy that the sun barely risen, the air is not warmed up, and ahead of a grueling seven kilometers in the pool.
The next few hours, she will float along the same black line, which saw hundreds of times over the years of training. And after waiting for her another seven kilometers, the same black line, and Allison knows about it.
Despite this, every morning Hardworking Allison Schmitt Resistant comes to practice with a smile. How she manages to not succumb to the monotony? Once she told reporters that there are days when, like any person, it does not want to go in the morning for training.
Then she helps the expression "to play the role, while he will not become her, if a sufficient number of times to repeat how cool dip in the water, in the end deceive yourself and you will start to enjoy, even when not I want to".
Take adopted this method. Sometimes you have to work hard to go to work, especially if you are aiming to achieve significant goals.
As soon as you put the task and to plan - in career, family, study, hobby - there comes a time of hard work. And if you follow the road map, you are sure to reach your desired.
