Two week to go, almost there!
What's a Growth Mindset and how to we actually build one?
Why is believing you can learn the first step to learning?
What is a "story" you tell yourself about what you can and can't do?
"Stories become true if they rob us of action."  Explain this quote to me:
Belief is the fuel to action, but the action actually creates the growth.  How might your actions be different if you have "belief fuel" vs when you don't believe you can learn enough to be successful?
"You either have a Growth Mindset or a Fixed Mindset"

What is the most important skill we can develop that will help us keep the door open for growth despite the challenges, problems and obstacles that we can't control?
What are some dangers to thinking that "this is the way it is" and does having a Growth Mindset guarantee success?
What are the 3 "important layers" or major benefits of a Growth Mindset?
What are the 3 ways to build a Growth Mindset?
Why is doing something hard or challenging important to learning?  What happens if we only do what's already easy for us?
We don't all learn at the same rate at the same things, but we all CAN LEARN and we all CAN GET BETTER.  We can even get better at learning, but it takes effort and attention.  If trying your best doesn't guarantee that you will achieve your goals or be the best at swimming, how willing are you to still try?  How willing are you to still try HARD at practice and at meets, and be uncomfortable doing it, if you know you are not guaranteed that you will reach your goals?
What stories are you going to "put to the test", what stories do you have about what you can't do that you are going to challenge?
Why does he say to "aim low"?
We're going back to our Energy Systems conversation now, and today, we're going to review the 3 energy systems and when they help us.    https://www.coursera.org/lecture/youth-sports/part-2-atp-structure-and-recharging-Ldh2C

Here's another graph of the 3 energy systems,  how much energy they give when they fire and how long that fire, or energy, lasts.   The names are changing a little here because there are lots of ways to refer to some of these systems, but know the 1st one (here called CP) lasts for 8ish seconds, the second one (here called Glycolysis) lasts for about 40 seconds before it starts to have issues, and the 3rd one, still called the Aerobic system,  has to already have been getting going this whole time so it's ready to help out when the first two "gas tanks" are spent.
We all start our races with 2 seconds of burst which gets us off the blocks and starting our underwater speed.  As soon as you fire this burst it signals ALL 3 recharging systems to fire.  Notice how the blue Aerobic system takes a little bit to get going but then can run for way longer than any race you will swim.  We want the Aerobic system ALREADY up to full tilt BEFORE we start our race so that it increases the amount of energy you have to use through your whole race.  This is why we warm up before our races.  Does it make sense now why your coaches send you up to the blocks about 10 minutes (at least) before you swim?

The CP system gives you the energy for your first 25, and it going to be gone after about :08 seconds no matter how hard you used it.  Some people think if they use this battery gently it will last longer and take them farther through their race, but if you look at the chart, is the CP going to last any longer than :08 seconds ever?
Clear selection
The CP system can only give you :08 ish seconds of energy, but after :30 to 2 minutes, it will be ready to use again.  So the CP battery is what you use for the first :08 seconds AND THE LAST :08 SECONDS of ALL YOUR RACES (except for the 50 Free, that one goes right into Glycolysis and then it's done).  What's something that would get in the way of going back to the CP system at the end of your race?
Clear selection
The end of your race doesn't necessarily have to do with how strong your Aerobic system is functioning, it might have to do with how well you used Glycolysis.  CP has no painful byproduct so using it fully has no consequence.  But with Glycolysis, if you ride all the way to the end of it, you'll be flooded with acid and you will shut down, painfully.   We need to make sure our Aerobic system is ready to help as much as possible as soon as possible and pair it with Glycolysis as intelligently as we can to maximize power and minimize acid.  
Clear selection
While you used your Glycolysis and Aerobic batteries, your CP system was recharging.   How might you want to swim a 100 distance race where you can use your CP energy during the 1st and last :08 and your Glycolysis and Aerobic energy in the middle?
Look at the graph again and tell me how you can swim anything over a minute without a strong Aerobic engine?
Clear selection
How might you want to swim a 200 distance race where you can use your CP energy during the 1st and last :08 and your Glycolysis and Aerobic energy in the middle?
The reason we want to know how each trainable system works to give us energy is so we can not only make each battery more powerful but also so we can learn to use the batteries intelligently in our races.
