Every few weeks, we'll have valuable information for the team - age group swimmers & masters swimmers.. These articles will pertain to swim training, nutrition, health, proper technique and encouragement. This information is not a substitute for medical or professional advice. If you have a particular medical condition or question, please consult your health care provider. In sports, character is constantly tested. Coaches are character educators, able to take advantage of the endless procession of teachable moments that sports provide. Coaches teach athletes life lessons in persistence, teamwork, sacrifice, effort, empathy, discipline, leadership and overcoming adversity. Teaching our players to be better at their sport is rewarding, but not nearly as rewarding as feeling that we've actually helped shape the values they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. You want each one of them to constantly strive to learn and improve. This involves them comparing their own performance to their own performance (i.e. Are they better than they were two weeks ago?). Continuous effort--not strength or intelligence--is the key to unlocking our potential. ~Liane Cardes We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. ~ Aristotle Today's preparation determines tomorrow's achievement. Add your comment |
