Coaches Note 9-15-09

Hello Waves Families,                                                                                                     

After getting to talk and hang out with a few Olympic coaches last week, Both Keddy and I are very excited to get back to the business of coaching the team. We learned a lot of great ideas and theories from some of the best coaching minds in the world. Inspired and excited, we’re ready to do our best to bring out the potential in all our swimmers. For those new to reading the Coaches notes, I try to bullet point the interesting and important information. Take the time to read through the upcoming events and news.

 

-Welcome new Families

I wanted to be one of the first to welcome everyone to the team. I hope your stay with us is fun and what you are looking for. We try to provide a family atmosphere where people can excel in swimming. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to call me. Also, remember that there is quite a lot of information on the web-site. 

 

-Kroc Meet (October 2^nd-4^th)

The first meet of the year is coming up October 2 ^nd-4 ^th. The meet is going to be Held at the brand new Kroc Center. This is a great opportunity to get your feet wet with meets. It’s near by, (not as close as our own pool, but not too far,) and the facility is top rate.

-Training Tip:

Consistency is Key. It provides a base for everything we are trying to accomplish on this team.

Without consistency, improvement will be based solely on getting older and stronger. Another benefit of consistency is injury prevention. Sporadic exercise leads to cramps and injury much more often than a consistent effort. 

 

That’s it for the week, Have a great day and I’ll see you at the pool.
