Philosophy
The Scottsdale program is characterized
philosophically by the principles of self-image psychology.
This discipline is concerned with guiding and directing individuals
toward maximum development of their talents and abilities.
Similarly, the Scottsdale coaching staff endeavors to teach, train,
and motivate young people to achieve their ultimate potential in
swimming in the belief that this experience will prove valuable to
them as they grow and develop into adults.
The Scottsdale program strives to instill in
young swimmers an understanding of and appreciation for such life
skills and concepts as high self-esteem, personal accountability,
self-discipline, goal setting, and goal achievement as these ideas
relate to their success in training and in competition. It is
our belief that the process of achieving is as significant as
realizing the achievement itself.
At each level of the Scottsdale program,
swimmers are instructed to strive for excellence. Excellence
in this sense represents the achievement of that level at which you
know that you have done your utmost to become the best you are
capable of becoming. This philosophy is consistent throughout
the program, and every swimmer, novice to Olympian, is encouraged
to “Be the Best You Can Be”.
