Tonight Northridge has a swim meet at SDRC with Viewmont and Layton.  I'm excited.  Should be good.

Wednesday's practice covered quite a bit of stuff.  Here are the details of the itty bitty techniques we covered.   One of the main things was to discuss my philosophy.  The values I want to imprint on these swimmers:

1. Dream - You need to have a dream in the first place if you want to accomplish something of value. This is about goal setting, or having a vision and writing it down. Followed by steps to how you intend to get there.  Which is where Hard work and Discipline come in.....
2. Hard work - As Capt Webb put it, "Nothing great is easy".  It's true.  If you can do something easily, it is of less value than something that is hard. If you work really hard, then the difficult becomes less difficult.  Which the average person who didn't work hard, will find impossible.
3. Discipline - If you are easily swayed by doing the right thing or are willing to sacrifice the future for the here and now, you likely are doing something out of lack of discipline.  When you make your mind up to do something, you need to follow through and not come up with excuses to do what needs to be done.
