Question

summary on. THE ADVANTAGES OF STRUGGLE.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The process, the struggle, the grind—whatever your preferred term—is real, and at times, it feels like it goes on endlessly. Swimmers are no stranger to it, with our marathon seasons, endless two-a-days, and never-ending cycles of training.

Through it all it can be difficult to turn a positive eye when things feel like they are stacked up against you.

But there are benefits to persevering through the tough stuff.

Whether it is a stream of injury and illness, a disappointing set of performances, or the overwhelming crush of schoolwork and training, when you learn to appreciate difficult situations a few powerful things happen…

You learn to find your way out of tough spots faster.

You are more optimistic and less likely to toss in the towel at the first hint of difficulty.

You detach yourself from results and focus instead on making the small increments of improvement.
