“There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.”

Developing a culture of honor in our programs takes time but I believe our efforts developing such a culture has a lifelong impact.

We find our dreams unrealistic, unobtainable, too difficult to achieve. But everything that has been achieved started with a dream.

We all have had an experience with a parent, coach or swimmer who has been adamantly opposed to what we do as coaches.

There are no perfect situations, no perfect swims, no perfect conditions.

Vision allows us to make decisions from a long-term perspective, not just for the moment.

Our words matter. They carry weight with our swimmers whether they are positive or negative.
