That's One
Always at the end of a season, you'll have athletes who are completely satisfied with what they've done, and others who wish things had gone a little differently.
Just Do It!
One of the most-quoted sayings in the world is a marketing campaign by Nike... Just Do It! What sheer genius in the simplicity, and the ability to bring in every sport, every culture, every ability in one simple, three-word phrase. The question for us is: What.... is... "it"?
Commit
If there's one thing I'd like young swimmers to grasp, or understand, it's how brief their athletic life is going to be.
Taking Pride in the Agony
Day by day, swimmers trudge on. They endure the thankless loneliness of training... the agony and pain that just keep coming. The drudgery that goes along with the agony makes this one of the toughest sports, physically and mentally.
Overcoming Mediocrity
Over the past couple weeks, there have been a couple significant souls lost that made incredible impact on the earth.
Why These Women Win!
I can't help but continue to be impressed, and humbled by three amazing athletes. These women have completely committed their lives to health and because of that... just keep swimming... and swimming fast.
Problem-Solving Swimming
The new season is upon everyone. How you approach how you're going to reach your goals will be an important aspect of starting your season.
Buffalo Team Camp
For years, it's been a dream to ride a motorcycle across the country, stopping along the way to visit teams. I figured it would be a good way to see what the real swim teams are doing, but real life has a way of getting in the way of dreams.
Having a Bad Day? Bummer for you.
I've written and re-written this a few times. I'm not really sure the right tack to take to get this point across, so I'll make it short.
Ask an Olympian about Breaststroke
This week (or next), I'll be speaking to an Olympic breaststroker, and I want to know what you'd like to know.
Dave Denniston Speaks!
Without getting too sappy... there aren't many people I've witnessed in almost 50 years on the planet who have reacted to adversity in a more positive way than Dave Denniston.
Preserving Olympic Principles: The 1980 Moscow Games
I was recently involved in an interview process with a group of students from La Mesa, California. They were putting together a presentation based on the 1980 Olympic Boycott for the National History Day Competition.
Are You the One?
Obviously, this article isn't for everyone, but the ideals can be applied BY anyone. I'm writing this to remind those individuals who talk about being the best, or reaching their potential, but who don't really get it.
