In one hand, I didn't had the chance to do as much cliff diving as I wish but it was definitely my most creative year ever in term of high diving. In the other hand, being able to train more from proper plateforms, in fort lauderdale and Europa Park allowed me to unlock so many things.
Also not being focus on competitions gave me so much more freedom. Don't get me wrong I love to compete, but the closed format of competition will just kill your creativity. Competing is finding a strategy to use the DD table in the most efficient way as possible. A lot of people will stick with the same 4 dives forever and won't explore other moves because it works like this. I get it, but it's just not my philosophy of diving. To me competitions are just a tool to push me to learn new dives, harder dives, I find it effective because it gives me a concrete deadline and it also helps to structure my training. For instance, I learnt triple back and handstand 2.5 back especially for competition because their degrees of difficulty are highly overrated compared to the biomechanical challenge they represent. It's great because I don't like backflip so it gave my a solid argument to convince myself to work on my weaknesses. And guess what ? I even start to like it and enjoy the feeling ! But I put the expectations too high and I wanted to learn handstand 3.5 too fast and that's where I crossed the redline. I stopped enjoying my training. It's a big red flag for me. So I gave up the competitive goal to focus on the most important, the first reason why I started to dive when I was a kid : having fun !!
My favourite competition is to compete against myself. No restrictions, no DD table, freestyle, traditional, doesn't matter. The goal for my body is to apply what my brain imagine. This way of diving allowed me to do XX world first this year and perform both in freestyle, traditional and mixed (my own style) !
