WEATHER GODS

 Good or Bad?  I’m sure some if not all of you were glad to get this extra day of winter break from school

and swimming as you rose from bed this morning.  Myself not so much as I had my PT canceled this morning and to make matters worse my gym was closed which included the pool.  However I did something different and went to LG and did the routines under the patio with a fire roaring in the snow.  Then it was out to help a buddy with some plowing.

One of the hardest things to do is to settle back into a “normal routine” after a long break and this is all to true for a student athlete.  This is a great time to look back at your goals both at school and in the pool, a time to reflect on those goals maybe even tweaking them if you need to and get ready to charge into the next few months with a renewed focus.  Don’t forget we believe you are on the verge of something great.  All you need is direction and the confidence and you all have both so stay focused.

When we talk about staying focused we are referring to the process the day to day things that you are doing for those meets in March and April.  Staying focused now on the day to day things your doing in and out of the pool go a long way to determining the outcome of your races in the spring. 

To be focused means having QUALITY WORKOUTS.  Here is a thought for you to digest, “the most talented swimmer doesn’t win the race, the most prepared swimmer wins the race.”  Remember what you do today, MATTERS.  It’s really that simple  people.

Enjoy your snow day!
