In our Freediving school, we are always trying to find individual approach to every student. Here our Instructor Trainer helping Master Freediver candidate completely relax and do his best in STA attempt (ends up with easy 3.45)

Freedivers are extremely serious people. Especially after the training session, when need to decide What to eat for lunch?🧐

One of the most "risky" moments in DYN is when a diver coming up to the surface. If it was a PB attempt or close to it, there is always a chance of LMC/BO at this moment. If you are doing safety, make sure that you are close to your buddy and ready to react if notice any sign of LMC/BO. Also, don't forget to remind about recovery breathing
Take as a ruly - YOUR BUDDY SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

3.45 !!!! Despite our student has 3.15 no contractions breath hold, he was really nervous about his ability to do 3.30 requirement🤷🏼‍♀️
It happens that our fears create unnecessary obstacles on the way of reaching goals.
Mind games.
It’s all inside of us.

From time to time we have "dry days". It can be a complete day off (yes, days off are necessary for your safe progress). Or we have stretching/breathing/meditation sessions. Quite and light AC room definitely helps to enjoy such sessions 😉 .

Many freedivers when they come to the sea ignore the option of pool training. Unfortunately.
As it is extremely useful to train with another coach and get some new vision and approach. This is always a good opportunity to learn something new, which you can integrate into your daily trainings back home.

If you are a beginner Freediver, most likely you have this mistake on your DYNb - bending the knee on recovery phase (when a leg moving up). How to sort it out? Well, first of all you need to understand that in most cases it is not a problem, it is a result of another problem - lack of ankle control. Work on it and then it would be no need to worry about bending a knee. If you need more explanation - let me know - if it would be a demand, I will shot a video for our YT channel about this subject. .

Another thought for someone who is planning to do

Another thought for someone who is planning to do a freediving course in a near future. Learn how to be more comfortable in the water! If you are lucky and living next to the warm ocean (or river/lake) then just do periodically some swimming or snorkeling there. If not – go for a public pool for regular swimming session. It will help you to be much more comfortable on your first freediving course!

Interesting fact. A lot of our first level student

Interesting fact. A lot of our first level students (before they start the course), worry about breath hold time. And in 99.99% cases it is not a problem. Almost everyone can hold they breathe for 90 seconds or a bit longer on the first pool session (unless you are uncomfortable in water)
If you are just planning to do your first level – relax – after a full breath in, you have more than enough O2 in your body for a couple of minutes without breathing.
Then what are we teaching on our courses? We teach how to hold breath in a comfortable and safe way!

Have you tried breathing gymnastic for Freediving?

In a couple of days I am starting my new training

In a couple of days I am starting my new training cycle (3 months), which supposed to ended up in a clean 180 DYNb dive 😂 Last PB in this discipline was in August (170) and after that I was training mainly DNF (new PB - 130). If you interested to follow me in this journey - follow up my personal account @sergeybusargin
I am going to post my training, schedule and random thoughts (hopefully smart🧐) there a few times per week!

Another trick for your MAX DYNb (at least it works

Another trick for your MAX DYNb (at least it works for me) is focus on things which I can control. Examples
* relaxation of muscles around eyes, jaw, neck, shoulders, etc
* execution of each kick as perfectly as possible (yes, the movement itself is automatic, but I am consciously trying to observe it). * same with other technical aspects - arm stroke, turning, gliding etc
If anything from the above is not perfect (lets say last turn was not efficient as you can potentially can do), don't create negative thoughts about it. It already happens. Just observed it neutrally.

A little trick which I like to use for my max DYNb

A little trick which I like to use for my max DYNb, this is what I've done on my 170 meters dive.
I obviously knew that it would not be an easy dive. No doubt about that. At the same time I didn't want to experience failure - come up early.
In this case I have two plans - max and minimum plan. If I am going to manage a minimum plan - I won - this was a successful dive. My minimum goal was 150, I done it before a few times and I knew I can repeat it. It is not an easy dive, but it is within my reach.
So, from the first second of my preparation I am "into" 150 meters dive. And only when I make it, I would decide whether to stop (and still be a winner) or do extra 10-20 meters as a bonus.
This trick - a minimum goal works for my pool dives quite well and I often recommend it to try for my Master students. It reducing the mental pressure of max attempt and not putting in a "loser mentality" if come up early (because if you did a minimum goal - it is a WIN)
