“WIN”. What’s Important Now

It was awesome seeing all of you again this past week, and I hope that those of you who are new to Makos this season enjoyed the week as much as I did and made some new friends along the way. Matt and I enjoyed woking with such a talented group that we had on Saturday morning. Watching practices and seeing how all of you handled the workouts we are very excited with the possibilities that are possible this season. Matt, Emma and I talked this week as to our planning of practice. We are trying to make sure that we are on the same page to accomodate those of you who may be combining am/pm workouts.

Welcome back to all of our returning Senior Prep, Junior Gold, and Junior Blue swimmers. I would also like to extend a great big WELCOME to all the new swimmers in these groups.

This is the time of year when we have a chance for new beginnings as a student, swimmer,and for myself as your coach. We remember our success from the past, but it is time to store them in our memory chip and to start anew. As a student you have now had a week in school to get adjusted to new classes, new teacher, a new work load, and of course the new time schedule. Your teachers have planned your year and have gone over what is expected of you, and you have now had some time to soak it in and figure out what you need to do in order to be successful as a student. Some words of wisdom, keep up with all the assignments and projects that you have. Pleas
