THE VERGE of GREATNESS

 December 31 not only brings the last day of 2024 but also the Junior Gold and Junior Blue last day of training for the year. 

You all were awesome this morning as you worked through your last training session of the year.  The little whining and push back came to an end after Coach Noah took a few minutes to talk about the mental side of your swimming (sorry parents that’s why we went over 10 minutes. After all the ball can’t stop at 2.)and as he pointed out a lot of your races especially the last one of a long meet feels the same.  

The one thing we are trying to get through to you is that this group is on the verge of something GREAT and the only thing in the way is yourself and that person who lives in your head rent free.  When he talks to you in a positive way listen.  When he starts down that negative road, STOP THE NOISE.

 All that person is doing is giving you a reason to fail, an easy out if you may.  It may feel good at the time but later you’re going to be upset for the simple reason, YOU know your BETTER THAN THAT

STOP THE NOISES 

Now I’m going to throw Coach Noah a bone here as we all know he is a true

Commanders fan, but this will be hard as I’m a Cowboy fan.  Though I do not watch them I’m aware how they have been behind in the last minute or so and in years past they would have lost those games.  The reason for the collapse could be anything such as not thinking they could win which leads to the next which is lack of confidence or it could have simply been they didn’t care which is the worse for any athlete even swimmers.

Oh, but how a year changes things where with a change in attitude where now with every game the confidence is growing and now they believe they can win.  Bottom line is a little attitude and confidence goes a long way and just maybe to that GREAT RACE you’re looking for.

As we swim into our first workout on Thursday, come in with that confidence and knowing that we are close to GREATNESS.

HAVE A GREAT EVENING WHEREVER YOUR TRAVELS TAKE YOU.  ENJOY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. BE SAFE AND 

JUNIOR GOLD and JUNIOR BLUE LAST WORKOUT OF 2024.  AWESOME JOB PEOPLE
