Getting Better & Moving Forward

We had a good group discussion yesterday.  Lots of items were covered!  We tend to have these sorts of talks once of twice per year, and yesterday’s flashy weather gave us a great opportunity.

I believe athletes need to have the support of their parents, coaches, and other mentors (like teachers and school administrators).  Within this support system, athletes build confidence in not only their athletic ability but their ability to overcome perceived obstacles en route to not only achieving their dreams in life, but en route to actually figuring out what dreams are worth following over the next stage in life. 

A key point I hope athletes have taken away from the discussion:  T2 Aquatics athletes have my unwavering support, as their coach, while they are on our Team!  

We all want to be treated with love and respect.  Sometimes, as a coach, I feel that I have to raise my voice to be heardJ …and sometimes this is warranted and sometimes it’s not.  But it doesn’t mean anything but love and respect! 

Most of the time, the "way in which we get it done" is nothing but beautiful collaboration, for the benefit of all T2 Aquatics athletes.  We should remember this as well:)  We have all come a long way and are going to continue walking this path with pride in ourselves and our Team.

My goal moving forward is that WE ALL GET BETTER AT WHAT WE ARE DOING.  All of us, every day moving forward, as individuals and as a Team.
