I think we can all agree that freediving has both physical and mental aspects to it. In fact, most top freedivers that I have listened to speak about the sport generally consider freediving to be 70% mental and only 30% physical.
If this is the case, then why is there such an emphasis on training our bodies physically when really, the most emphasis should be on strengthening our mental faculties to becomes better? Surely developing our mental capabilities would have more impact on our overall diving potential if the sport really mind over matter.
I hope this can open up some dialogue between us and maybe create a platform for some ideas that can strengthen our mental training for freediving.
Thanks guys
