Weekly Items

Our meet this Thursday is at home against Hudsonville. Should be a good one. Normal meet times...on deck at 5:15, warm-up at 5:30, meet at 6:30.

We are about two weeks out to taper for conference and 3-4 weeks out to taper for state. It is vitally important that we stay connected every day to what will help us perform our best. These can be the toughest weeks to stay "with it" mentally. We must be diligent in our preparation.

Not everything will go perfectly from here to the end of our season. We need to be mentally prepared to deal with the bumps that will come along the way. A lot of our success will depend upon how we handle any adversities that we face. The only thing we can control is ourselves and how we think.

Our quote for this week deals with this idea...

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

Which type of man will you be. When life tries to break you down, break it back!

Please take 5-10 minutes a day and mentally rehearse great swims/dives. Go through your normal meet program and see and feel yourself putting together that perfect race.

We have a fun couple of weeks ahead of us. Stay focused mentally and do the little things right!
