For some reason in Spring Training, everything just clicked. You don't try to do anything in Spring Training but get ready, but things fell into place.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always approached spring training as I have something to prove.
Spring Training is a fun time for me.
Training hasn't been consistent for the last week or so which was a bit annoying, but going into the competition I just had to get myself into the right mind frame.
It all comes down to when spring training comes. Do you want to go or don't you? If you want to go, you go.
I come to spring training and just try to do my job, try to do the best I can. That's all any player can do.
I wanted to train more for the outdoor season than the indoor season, so I changed my training totally.
I sat down with my trainers to check my past seasons and to see what could be done to keep me motivated and in good shape. I had to find a new motivation, a new momentum.
I can't remember the last day I didn't train.
Every now and then, you'll get one of those days when you're feeling rubbish or when you have to pretty much drag yourself out of bed to get to training. But then you'll see the Olympic pool, and all the excitement and adrenaline will come rushing back.
I approach spring training the same way every year.
