The Season Starts - Olympic Dreams part II, III & IV

Apologies for the lack of Blog activity in the first two weeks of Training. It has been noted from our blog readers in the USA that I have not been keeping up to date so my sincere apologies for that. Anyway - WELCOME back to the entire TEAMTSC membership who have joined us again this year for the next stage of the adventure that is our pursuit of the ultimate dream - the OLYMPICS - this season will end in an Olympiad in Beijing in the summer of 2008, but already I am looking to the possibility that London 2012, or perhaps wherever 2016 is, will see someone in this TEAM realise their ultimate goal.

The DREAM can take 10,000 Hours or 10 years to become a reality. EVERY sportsperson at the highest level in their chosen sport has practised that hard - Swimmers swim, that's what they do so your journey starts today and every day after that !! The "Pursuit of EXCELLENCE" is our goal in this season. Everyone knows that we work hard, I know that we have some very talented athletes in the water but in the overall search for our best effort we need people to push beyond that point and really LIVE the DREAM everyday. If you want to be your very, very best then EVERY day has to be pursued with a focus that you will do whatever you need to do to realise your best. "Practice makes Perfect" is what they say but that's not quite correct. "PERFECT Practice makes PERFECT" is what it really means. You have to practice PERFECTION and EXCELLENCE constantly so that it becomes what you do automatically. In training what does that mean?

1. Turn up on TIME - that's 10 mins before to get ready!!!
2. Bring your OLYMPIC ATTITUDE with you to training - DAILY !!!
3. LEARN to PERFECT your skills in EVERY stroke, EVERY length, EVERY 10m pushoff
4. Have FUN, ALL the time !!
5. Set standards for yourself, WIN every day against yourself, the clock, delivering TOUGH sets to the BEST of your ability: WANT TO!! = CAN DO!! = WILL DO!!

Welcome back to the NEW TEAM TSC - A BETTER, STRONGER, FASTER, MORE SKILLFUL, HAPPIER, MORE FLEXIBLE, TOUGHER & FITTER TEAM.
Lets ENJOY the journey one and ALL so Remember:

100% right is 100% right
