2019 PRAIRIE WINTER INTERNATIONAL - WELL DONE MANTA

Well Done Manta!!

MANTA always strives for excellence and looks to compete at the highest level when the time, preparation and value of the meet is in proportion to the importance of the competition. Continual program development and buying into a belief system has paved the way to amplify MANTAs team success on various stages of competition that the sport of swimming has to offer. “Hard working” has infused itself as an attribute within MANTAs cultural DNA; creating well rounded people/athletes that contribute to MANTAs values and actions each day. 
As various swimmers of all ages continue to develop, improve and qualify for championship meets MANTA had great aspirational individual swims. MANTA swimmers did a great job of proudly wearing their team gear on deck and represented MANTA with enthusiasm and maturity in the pool.

Every one of you have goals. Whether it’s to win races, qualify for Provincials/Westerns, Trials, or simply make it through a grueling practice, the goals you set undoubtedly exert persuasion on your performance. With that said, there’s a lot more to goal setting than just stating what it is you want to achieve. As you reflect on a solid weekend at PWI, start thinking about what the next steps are in your preparation for the next chapter of the season. We know that you are all motivated to be better. Your individual dedication hinges on your motivation. What are you going to do on a daily basis to be better?

This elevation comes from constant attention to detail and appropriate physical/mental efforts during the workout. Raise your bar on a daily basis in training and close the gap between how you train and how you compete. Get comfortable with uncomfortable. Pleasure and pain, they’re not opposites, they’re neighbors! Don’t be afraid to challenge and surprise yourself. Create confidence through your preparation. If you fully engage physically and mentally in practice, you will feel more prepared when competing. Focused practices allow you to trust that you did everything you could to enable yourself to perform your absolute best when it really counts!

Thank you to all the visiting teams, Manta meet management, and all volunteers for making the meet a big success.

Well Done, Work Hard and Work Together

GO MANTA GO!
