WE DID IT! This team continues the streak to a consecutive 20 State Championships!
People ask us, "How do you always get such a great taper?"
It's not about the taper. It's about the TRAINING.
"What's your secret?" No secrets. Just need a willingness to show up, work hard, do your best. That includes everyone on our team: swimmers, divers, coaches, parents, pool staff.
"You make it look easy." Any athlete, any coach knows it may look easy, but it is NEVER easy. A different team every year, different dynamics, different individual psychologies, different circumstances. We give it our all, our whole heart and soul, every day.
On second thought, maybe there are a few secrets....
How do you create a team that feels like a family?
How much does it take to feed 25 athletes hot breakfast every morning after morning practice and hot dinner every Wednesday evening?
How do you motivate young men to care about each other?
Where do you find new ideas to experiment with every year to help make a team better than it's ever been?
Thank you Gentlemen of the Team, Parents & Families, Fellow Coaches.
Thank you for a remarkable season and the sweetest lap we ever get to swim.
