MONEY IN THE BANK

  πŸ’° Have you ever stopped and asked yourself this question; Am I improving as I travel 🏊‍♀️🏊🏻‍♂️along this black line on the bottom of the pool?  Sure everyone of you have your own goals and aspirations that you are trying to achieve as you make that journey back and forth, and no matter what they may be they are all important. As competition day nears, you will be faced with this dilemma it’s time to pay πŸ’° the bill.  To be sure if you have been attending practice there will be something in that account to draw from, but how much you have to draw from will depend on the effort and focus to the details during those workouts.  As you arrive at practice to make that deposit into your account, In say to you "Great Job", you've shown up.  In order to get the highest return on your investment the first and foremost thing staring you in the face is your the attitude you will have while making that deposit.
