Be Great in 20-10

Welcome Back Everyone!!! I am so excited to see everyone at the pool back in training for our Championship Run.  Here are some Great Expectations for 20010!

 

I expect that everyone will be on time to every practice.  On Time is 15 minutes early, when the practice schedule says 7:00 that means the coaches have planed their workouts so that everyone is in the pool at 6:50.

 

I expect that everyone will Give 100% Effort 100% of the Time.  This goes for technique as well as training. The best way to improve is to concentrate on doing your strokes properly all the time.  Stay focused on your strokes and your effort at every practice. Practice “In The Moment”---stroke for stroke lap for lap always aware of what needs to be done and what the goal of the set is both for today and the end of the season.

 

I expect that everyone will Race Every Repeat of Every Practice. It was brought to my attention recently, by a colleague, that most of the workouts we do at BA are exactly the same workouts that the some of the great clubs in Florida do, like Sarasota and Brandon.  The one difference is the swimmers on those clubs race each other all the time in practice.  Challenge each other all the time, turns, technique, training…the more everyone spends trying to push each other the better everyone will be on race day!
