We have had a GREAT weekend of swimming for those in attendance, congrats to all athletes. Let's keep it going this week.
Saturday's 6am set of FreeIMs went awesome, with many athletes repeating strong mid 230s on the 9x200. Cole and Rip led the set with 2:24s on the end of the set.
Thinking back to Friday….we had a set of 100s Kicking, going 3x100 on (120) to finish the set. Not everyone made the whole thing, but we had a good effort from all. Cole led the way with 3 108s with a Kickboard. Awesome job Cole!
We finished the practice with some fast 50s from a Dive….some standouts here were Matt 27 mid 50 Breast. Kayla and Bean went 27s for Fly. Jack is knocking on the door of 23 with a Dive 50 Free - and Davis is knocking on the 22 second door….guys, improve your skills off the wall just a little bit and you'll be there soon. Keep in mind that if your 50s times are different than they used to be, that's ON YOU and it probably indicates that you need to train more regularly.
This morning (Monday) we had some good swimming/kicking/pulling…but we were missing quite a few people. We only had 10 out of 19 at practice -- so our "National" group was missing 9 people!! WOW. Cmon guys!
Keep in mind, we won't truly be a GREAT TEAM while we are missing half of our group in Ams! We can be GOOD, but not GREAT with this type of attendance. We are a BRONZE medal team, and we are doing GREAT if we want to maintain BRONZE medal status.
It's up to YOU GUYS (not your coaches) if you really want to be great!! You can be so GREAT. We can REALLY DO IT here in Naples FL. We can be a GOLD medal team, but it takes MORE athletes with Summer JR National times to get to GOLD status.
You gotta get to practice!
Don't let you competition outwork you, and don't let your friends or others in your life convince you that the easy way works. Only hard work works! The hard part is that hard work is relative….you have to measure yourself against those who train 9-10 times per week.
If you only go 6-7 times per week, you are not working hard compared to others outside of our small town of Naples!
