Monday Notes for 9/15

Our bus will be leaving at 4:30 this Tuesday for Hudsonville HS.

On Wednesday we will be having a guest speaker, Mr. Robert Wandel, who will be speaking on the topic of nutrition for athletes. We will also be starting a food journal Thursday morning. We will be getting done with practice in the pool at 4:50, changing, and heading to Room 53 in the MS for the discussion. We will be done by 5:40.

Morning practices started this morning. We had a good turnout and a great workout. This is an excellent opportunity to get in a few more yards each week.

Our first Saturday practice was a success. We saw a lot of improvement in our starts and turns. We also had a great opportunity to work on our aggression.

We have a series of tough practices coming up over the next three weeks. We will be upping our yardage a bit and also getting plenty of intensity. It is key that we look at these practices as opportunities rather than drudgery we need to get through. Attitude makes a lot of difference!!!

Please keep your goals in mind throughout our tough training times as well. A reminder of what is motivating you can be just the impetus needed to really attack the toughest of sets.

Don't forget our 3 P's - Pride - Perseverance - Possibilities. Each of these three is a vital part of our teams success.

We have four tough meets on the next four Tuesdays. These will be a great way to test our mettle against some good teams. Use every opportunity to learn something new and race faster.

I am proud of our team and I am proud of each swimmer and diver. Keep up the great work ladies.
