Food for Thought



  • Character is doing what's right when nobody is looking -J.C. Watts Jr.

  • Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivaiton determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. --Lou Holtze

  • We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.-Aristotle

  • Never be afraid to do something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the titanic. Unknown Author

Let the Coach Coach!
from www.usaswimming.org 
The best way to help your child achieve goals and reduce the natural fear of failure is through positive reinforcement. No one likes to make a mistake. If your child does make one, remember that this is a learning experience. You and your child should learn to treat success and failure as learning experiences and not life changing situations. Encourage your child's efforts and point out the positive things. The coach is the one you have assigned to judge a swimmer's performance and technique. Your role is to provide love and support regardless of outcome.
