This Week
Our meet tomorrow is at Zeeland West High School. Dress shirt, tie, and dress pants to school and the meet tomorrow. The bus will be leaving at 4:40 pm from our pool.
Friday's practice is 12-3:00 pm.
We will not be having practice this Saturday. Enjoy the break. I believe the captains are putting together some activities for the team for Saturday. If you really want to get in the pool, it will be open from 1:30-3:30 pm.
Our training is going very well. We are setting ourselves up well for a great end of the season. It is important for us to stay focused and connected. We need to give the best of ourselves everyday. We have three great meets in a row with Zeeland tomorrow and Hudsonville and Grand Rapids Christian next week. Stay focused.
Our quote for the week is:
I really feel that this holds true. If you are focused on and connected to doing your best at what you are doing at any given moment then you will see better results than someone that is just going through the motions. As an added benefit you will also learn more about yourself as you are going through the process. This is not just true for swimming but also for just about anything else in life. I think we really saw this today with the partner 50's. That was some of the best swimming I have seen all year. Hopefully you felt it as well and it flipped some switches.
Great job with practices and training. Keep up the good work and lets help each other become better everyday.

This Week
A normal week this week.
On deck tonight at 5:15 pm. 5:30 warm-up and 6:30 pm meet starts against Wayland.
Normal practices Wednesday through Friday. Saturday practice is 12-2 pm.
A good showing last weekend at the D3 Invite. I think we all saw areas that we can improve on and get faster. We have two months to prepare. Two months sounds like a long time but it will pass by before we know it. What are we going to do everyday to prepare ourselves for great performances.
Quote for the week
In the packet of articles that I gave you yesterday, it talks about connecting what we do everyday in practice with what you want to accomplish at the end of the season. We need to make those connections daily.
Let's have a great week,

This week and next
Tuesday, be on deck at 5:15 pm ready to roll for our meet with Grandville. There will be a sign-up sheet passed in the stands for the dinner at our February 2 meet with Unity Christian. I also have complete programs from last weeks Zeeland Invite that will be available at the meet tomorrow. If you would like a full copy of the program, let me know.
Saturday we will be leaving at 10:15 am. Be here ready to roll at 10:10. Warm-up starts at 10:30 am, the meet starts at 12:00 pm. There will be either 11 or 12 teams there so parents may want to plan on getting there plenty early to get a good seat. The meet should be done around 3:30 or so. THERE WILL NOT BE TRANSPORTATION HOME FROM THE MEET. I will post a copy of the psych sheet when I get it.
Next week Tuesday, we have a home meet against Wayland. Be on deck at 5:15 pm ready to roll.
Everything for next week should be the same as the schedule.
The next two meets will be great opportunities to swim fast with great competition. The important thing to remember is that these are all great opportunities to go fast and set ourselves up well for great performances at the state meet. Learn something everytime you have the opportunity to race.
Remember that if we ignore a problem we are encouraging it. Don't encourage anyone on our team to be less than their best.

Our quote for the week is
"Anything worth doing at all, is worth doing well."I like the quote...I wish I would have changed 'well' to excellent or exceptional. Let others do things well and we will do them exceptionally. That is our advantage. Not that we are more talented or bigger or stonger. We are just plain committed to doing things better. Let's keep that commitment and build on it every day.
Swim Fun, Have Fast,
T
