Becoming a high-performance swimmer requires a strong mindset to overcome challenging situations and perform at the highest level. As an aspiring high-performance swimmer, I have used personal experiences to develop a strategy to overcome these inherent challenges within the sport. Using an autoethnographic and reflective inquiry I incorporate methodologies’ such as drawing, prototyping, critical feedback, digital creation, and photography to bring this project to fruition. Drawing insights from contextual areas such as growth mindset, journaling, value-based performance, and the work of practitioner’s, Maritn Naumann, and Chris Harkin I have created three distinct artifacts: a mindset journal, a book, and five value tokens. </jats:p>Copyright (c) 2024 Blake Elliott; Marcos Mortensen Steagall.
