HELEN's face says HOW CRAZY!! it was in the NAC today. We had another fantastic demonstration of how well this TEAM is performing with some fantastic swims across the TEAM. AS we prepare for Div 2's (in 6 days), for Div 1's (in 26 days) and Nationals (in 39 Days) the swims delivered this weekend showed how well preparations were going.
There were too many great swims to mention here but with Jonah & Saoirse leading the way in the younger ages, we also had excellent PB performances by Niamh M and others in the older ages to show how strong they are improving this year so far. Niamh's impressive 100FC PB (1:02.90) LC at the end of a tough week's training and a tough days competition was just reward for her commitment for the continued development of her TECHNIQUE in training EVERY DAY.
Great skills are the KEY to consistent performance and allow you the confidence to RACE FAST and control PACE and to also let you know that even when you're tired your learned TECHNIQUE remains efficient and speed in your swims does not decrease. Poor technique makes you tired, slows you down and will always be second best when the going gets tough!!!
A Great day for the TEAM AGAIN !! oh yeh by the way LYDIA's back
Congrats again TEAM!! TECHNIQUE, TECHNIQUE, TECHNIQUE it's the ONLY way to ENSURE success - WORK on it DAILY, Every SET, Every LENGTH, Every STROKE. !!!!
Quote for the DAY
"When I go out and race, I'm not trying to beat opponents, I'm trying to beat what I have done ... to beat myself, basically. People find that hard to believe because we've had such a bias to always strive to win things. If you win something and you haven't put everything into it, you haven't actually achieved anything at all. When you've had to work hard for something and you've got the best you can out of yourself on that given day, that's where you get satisfaction from." Ian Thorpe
