Fly Fishing Gear

Can tapering for too long hinder your performance at swim championships?

I was just wondering . . we're tapering for FOUR WEEKS for our biggest meet. The practices are extremely easy and short and I was wondering if too much taper could actually be a bad thing.
oops i meant 3 weeks -- and it's pretty gradual too.

A taper is meant to be done gradually over a period of several weeks. It can be very short or very long, it just depends.

If it's well-supervised and done correctly, it will greatly improve your performance, not hinder it. If you're feeling nervous and hyper and even a little emotional, then the taper is working.
