Some of the power words I use regularly include:
- "smooth... strong..." on alternate arm pulls when I am cruising
- "smooth... smooth..." when I am rushing things
- "strong... strong..." when I feel a bit tired
- "hip... hip..." when I feel like I am not getting enough body rotation
- "steady... steady..." when I start too fast in a race or practice set, or if I let negative thoughts creep in to the mix
- And sometimes I just sing a song or repeat some lyrics (lucky for me - or maybe for them - no one can hear when I do this!)
Here are a few other ideas to get you started:
- Strong
- Now
- I feel good
- Smooth
- Power
- Roll
- Flow
- Stretch
- Easy
- Relax
- Reach
- Go
