The sound of my iPhone’s “Uplift†jingle jerks me awake. My eyes pop open to glance at the clock. 4:55 a.m. I squeeze my eyes shut hoping in some way that my alarm will stop, that the clock will turn back. Less than seven hours of sleep is certainly not enough, but ignoring my literature paper was simply not an option. I have never understood those who procrastinate; I hate having projects and papers loom over me. Sighing, I realize my attempts to reverse time are futile so I jump out of bed before my sweet dreams recapture me. I shut off my phone alarm and jog downstairs. My eyes do not have to get use to the light because, well, there is no light.
I grab an apple and some crunchy peanut butter for my pre-Âpractice breakfast. Groggily, I choke down the meal. After my breakfast of champions, I pull on the tight straps of my swimsuit, brush my teeth, and then complete my morning routine with a smile. Slinging on my swim bag as well as my backpack, I squeeze through the garage door; two bags and a teenage girl is quite a large width. I am down my driveway by 5:10 a.m.
Arriving to the pool with ample time before practice begins, I am able to loosen up with arm swings, finding my motivation to dive into the frigidÂ, I mean Ârefreshing pool. Showing up to practice is only half the battle. There is work to be done, sweat to perspire, and times to hit. My coach has told me there are three things that in conjunction separate those “normal†humans and those “superhumansâ€: natural talent, hard work, and mental toughness.
