HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻


This week brings about the end to a few things that have happened in the last nine weeks or so.  The first thing is that as that school 🔔 rings on Friday it will mark the end of your first grading period. A lot of you have already shared your school endeavors with us so we are sure that when those grades come out there will be some great marks.   Always remember that the title you carry is that of being a student/athlete and notice which noun appears first in that phrase.

I have finally finished reading all of your letters containing your goals and dreams for this season and it made for an interesting read with myself and. Henry.  As we read through them it dawned on me that setting that goal is not necessarily the main thing.  The important thing we would like you to consider is how you go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

We have already discussed the internal battle in your head between what we called “the force” versus the “dark side”. It is a constant battle all athletes have, and some will be won and others will be lost, but. How you respond will determine just how far you go this year. 
Working on a positive mind set daily will help you stay away from the dark side.

Here is a Halloween treat with that thought in mind!

May the force be with you.

“If it’s important to you, you will find a way.  If not, you will find an excuse.” FEEDING YOUR MUSCLES   Having trouble with those early morning workouts or competition?  Not sure what to eat or how much so that you can perform at an optimal level and get through it? Understanding the process and how to get there is not an easy one.Waking up early to jump into a cold pool for either swim practice or  a swim meet is no easy feat.  For sure one of the biggest advantage is you get to see the sun rise and you have a jump on everyone else.  One of the first things that you have to do to survive a early workout/swim meet is to fuel your vessel. By the time you wake up your body is already starving.  You need to figure out a way to fuel it that works for you.  It's not something that you can ignore because the consequences will affect your success.  I was amaze or maybe not that so many of you have nothing to eat before arriving at the pool in the morning.  This is an area of your traini

Westward passage

  So I’ve made it this far riding south with the Rockies off to my right just need to find the correct route to go up and over, where is Coach Heather and her GPS not that I would listen to her.   Crossed over into Canada from North Dakota and went west in Canada.to Calgary and turned left south to Billings Montana  This will be our road west. Sun road in glacier national park.  On another note will be ending in San Diego sometime late week.  Hoping to be back by Friday practice but because of the heat we are riding less miles with more breaks.  Will definitely be there at st James Saturday morning barring any catastrophe. Make sure for you prep kids you get a good day of rest tomorrow and a good night sleep.  Get your homework done.  That first day will set the tone for the entire year.  The gold and blue groups let’s get some rest, get your homework 📚 done and set the tone for a successful season on day 1. Remember our motto “WIN”

PRACTICE

  "If you don't practice you don't deserve to win." ANDRE AGASSI So you come to practice on a consistent basis hardly ever missing but yet you are always missing out on that one great swim you've been searching for.  The hard question that you need to ask yourself is this; Do I practice with with a determination to improve or do I just show up swim with little focus on what you are doing or why?  If that's the way you practice you will end up like the dog just swimming never able to capture the one big swim your searching for.  Like you after the race you will think your tired but frustrated that you came up short again. Practice is the Foundation for all of your swimming successes now and in the future and it all goes back to our theme for the season. "WIN". (What's Important Now" ).  Simply said Focus on what we are doing in practice at the moment. It's about how you approach practice and what and how you do in the water during that t
