Another amazing meet for LESC swimmers. Competing against high level opposition, LESC swimmers looked the part. Great skills and technical racing throughout the weekend with some really good early season results. Again we put a focus on Process instead of outcome and early season this is how it should be. I noticed a few other coaches who were there the previous weekend following suit this weekend with their swimmers. Right now we are setting up for the season ahead, building plans and pointing out areas of weakness that need improving. Those of you who have kept your process sheets, well done as these are a useful tool to look back and remind yourself what you as an individual need to be working on in training, be it underwater skills, quick rotation, reducing stoke counts or points of technique, these are your tools to quicker swimming. Remember the outcome (time) is a result of the process.
A gentle reminder that swimmers, from the moment they walk into a building for a gala to the moment they leave, they are representing LESC and as such I expect high levels of professionalism throughout. Not only being on time for pre pool, warm ups and pre race chats, but in behavior as well, wear your kit with pride, no walking around without it on, keep your area clean and tidy, lead the way and show other teams how professionals do it, do not stoop down to their levels, a clean area will have a psychological affect on your swimming in a positive manor, a messy one will deliver messy results. Being a champion is not about the lengths you do in a race but about the lengths you go to, to live as a champion all the time.
