Description

Swimming demands more than physical strength and perfect technique—it requires mental precision and calm under pressure. Even the most skilled swimmer can tighten up on the blocks, lose focus mid-race, or let one bad swim ruin the next.

The Swimming Essentials Package combines four of Dr. G’s most trusted swimming-specific programs—Swimming with the Competitive Edge, Smoke on the Water, Swimming Fast When It Counts the Most, and The Racer’s Edge—to help swimmers build confidence, calm nerves, and consistently race their best when the pressure is highest.

By blending proven mental toughness tools with strategies to regulate the body’s stress response, this package helps swimmers stay relaxed, focused, and free in the water—no matter the stakes.

Whether you go faster in practice than at meets, get too nervous before big races, or simply want to feel more confident on the blocks, this collection gives you the tools to quiet your mind, trust your body, and swim your fastest when it counts the most.

What You’ll Learn

With the Swimming Essentials Package, you’ll discover how to:

Stay calm, loose, and confident before and during big meets
Break through performance plateaus and overcome fear or self-doubt
Let go of bad swims and bounce back for your next race
Sleep better and manage pre-meet nerves
Maintain laser-sharp focus through every heat and event
Use imagery and visualization to mentally prepare for success
Train your nervous system to support consistent peak performance
Learn the secrets to winning motivation and how to get more out of your practices on a daily basis

The Bottom Line

It’s your foundation for swimming with focus, calm, and confidence—and unlocking your true speed when it matters most.

Testimonials

A real breakthrough book for athletes! Having been frustrated using traditional cognitive-behavioral approaches with athletes experiencing freezing, choking or the yips, this book packs in all of the information you need to make a wonderful impact with athletes suffering from these recurrent sports performance issues. I was able to put the breakthrough therapy of `brainspotting’ to immediate use with my clients and the results were spectacular! I would highly recommend this book and its techniques to all practitioners who work with athletes. You will be thrilled with your results. But that’s not all. The authors wrote this book so that athletes could also benefit. They carefully put together treatment strategies that athletes can employ even without a therapist. I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

Dr. G, I just finished reading This is Your Brain On Sports and I absolutely loved it! It opened my eyes to what really causes athletes to fall apart and it will help me be more effective with my players!

Frank

Dr. G. Thank you so much. No longer does he work himself up before his big events and fall apart the way he used to. The difference in his swims is amazing. He looks so much more relaxed during his races and the results show it! You are a treasure to us!

Carla

I was listening to your “Parents” audio today on my drive and I have to say it opened my eyes! Especially the part where you talk about “good” and “bad” nervous. What a life skills gift to teach parents how to teach their kids how to roll with the “juice” that naturally comes up as you’re about to perform! The “Juice” is normal, it is what will fuel you. Don’t fear “The Juice” embrace it. Such a great audio! Thank you.

Wesley

Thanks so much! I finally learned how to get my parents on the same page that I’m on. They’re actually helping me now! Go Figure! It has made things so much much easier for me to do my job. I think this is a critically important book for coaches in any sport.

Jack

Congratulations on your program, “14 Steps!” They are truly outstanding and thoroughly cover all the mental aspects of sports which are challenging to athletes and coaches. We are using them this year as part of our weekly training program and the kids love your stories and teachings!

Ken S.

My coaching staff listened to the Parents’ auidio’s with me and are all very excited, so excited in fact that we are hosting a workshop for parents. I shared the audio directly to a couple of swim parents … the response was so positive these parents have volunteered to participate in helping to run the parent workshop. They listened to the audio’s and consciously put into practice some of your parent guidelines. As a result, not only are they enjoying closer relationships with their children, but the kids are enjoying themselves again!

Tim

I can honestly say that Dr. G’s MENTAL TOUGHNESS swim series helped me stay confident and focused, and helped me believe in myself as I attempted yet again to make the Olympic team. The audio’s helped me correct a number of mental mistakes that I had been making which had hurt me in past big meets. I have to give Dr. G’s audio’s big credit in helping me make the 96′ team and bring home a relay gold! They were an important part of my overall training.

I have downloaded your 14 Steps to Mental Toughness and have been listening to them with my son. I must say that it is having a very positive impact on both of us!! We live in the UK where this type of science is not well known, but now I am persuaded by it! I am so grateful that I discovered your work as my son is only 17 so has plenty of time to benefit.

Mohammed

Dr. G, I have been using DMTS with my high school girls ever since you came out with it, (OMG that’s a long time ago!). I can’t begin to tell you how much I have improved as a coach because of it! And then there’s the success my kids have enjoyed as a result! Grateful

Sandy

I read this book when I was down and out in high school. I was ranked in the top three in my two individual events for our State Swimming Championships. I ended up sixth in both. At the end of the meet, I vowed I never would swim again and was to focus my Senior year just on academics alone. My father gave me this book and it turned my swimming career around. My Senior year I was able to put the past behind me, swim faster then expected, and even making a Junior National Cut to travel to Alaska to compete. That year I also accepted a full scholarship (instead of being a walk-on like I had thought). I went on to compete in Division II and swim better each year, never ending the season with out a life time best. I recommend this book to those who are willing to take a deep look around and within themselves. If you are looking for a quick fix, look elsewhere for a band-aid. This book is meant to be read slowly, so best to be read during an off-season… or committing a chapter per week to actually have an effect on an athlete.

Dr. G. Thank you so much. Your workbook, (SWIM FAST) and audios has helped John be more calm at meets. No longer does he work himself up before his big events and fall apart the way he used to. The difference in his swims is amazing. He looks so much more relaxed during his races and the results show it! You are a treasure to us!

Carla

Your new program has really helped both of my kids even though they are in different sports! My daughter used to get too nervous before she played and she told me how much more relaxed and focused she feels now and I can see it in her level of confidence and success on the field. My son had a long history of doing better in practice than competition, leaving him frustrated and us not knowing how to help him. What a difference I see in him now when he competes under pressure. Thanks so much — you’re a great teacher!
