6. Words from Coach Mark

"All things are difficult before they are easy"
--Thomas Fuller

Swimmers of all levels, abilities, and ages who consistently
demonstrate a positive "confidence attitude" and share three common traits:

Belief, Desire, and Persistence

1. They believe it's possible to improve their swimming.

2. They have a genuine desire to improve their swimming.

3. They are persistent in improving their swimming.

Ask yourself – Do you possess an 'achievement attitude'?

Do you believe in your ability to accomplish your goals?

If so, what can you do this year to reinforce it?
