We also hope you were able to get to your pools for a little pre-season work, we are 10 days out from our first practice and when you get to start writing your own story for the upcoming season.
We are going to help those of you in my senior prep Gand Junior gold groups by giving you a little book on day 1 to help you get prepared mentally. I encourage each of you to make copies of some of the exercises that you will find and use them periodically throughout your journey this season.
It’s always fun and exciting to set up goals plan big and dream big as you start out with something new, but just like with New Years resolutions they fade when that excitement wears away an you realize that you’re going to have to work day in and day out if you want the opportunity to be successful. This is the reason for these exercises and as your story evolves and changes so will all these other things and that’s okay, it means you are growing as a swimmer and even better as a person.
Your story is like walking down a long hallway of mirrors and with ea h stop, you have to be happy and
proud of what you see and what you can be, without that confident identity you are just throwing all your hopes, dreams and goals into the wind hoping that you end up in a good place
You, are all so powerful and you, have the ability to choose the direction of how both your academic and swimming year will turn out. I offer you this challenge for the year, don’t wake up that last day having regrets, lay it all out there every day, leave nothing behind and let’s see how we all finish.
Have a great weekend and if the first week of school was rough make Monday better and then move through the week one day at a time. Handle what is in front of you.
