URGENT NOTICE!!!
THIS IS AN URGENT MESSAGE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ATTENDANCE AND ATTITUDE OF THE MAJORITY OF SWIMMERS, ESPECIALLY THE SENIORS. I GET VERY FRUSTRATED AT TRAINING AS IT FEELS LIKE I WANT IT MORE THAN YOU DO. YOUR ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN VERY LOW, AND WE HAVE GOT GALAS COMING UP. I CAN SEE THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF DISAPPOINTMENT AT THE GALAS AS YOUR TIMES ARE NOT GOING TO IMPROVE. I DON’T WANT TO HERE ALL THE EXCUSES AT GALAS. YOU KNOW WHY YOU WONT DO WELL. IT IS TOO LATE TO REALISE AT THE GALA THAT YOU HAVE NOT TRAINED TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY. FAILING TO PREPARE IS PREPARING TO FAIL. THE WATER AT KINGS PARK POOL IS NOT MAGIC WATER, IT WONT MAKE YOU SWIM FASTER WITHOUT TRAINING HARD. DOING OTHER SPORTS WILL NOT MAKE YOU FIT FOR SWIMMING. TRAINING HAS TO BE VERY SPECIFIC TO THE SPORT YOU ARE COMPETING IN. THE CROSS TRAINING BENEFIT FROM ONE SPORT TO ANOTHER HAS ONLY A MINOR BENEFIT, NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU PERFORM AT YOUR BEST. IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU WANT TO SWIM FAST, YOU MUST TRAIN SWIMMING THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME.
IT IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! TRAIN HARDER AND YOU WILL GET FASTER
I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME DESIGNING AND PLANNING THE SEASONS PROGRAM, BUT THEY WON’T WORK UNLESS YOU ARE AT TRAINING CONSISTENTLY. I WANT TO SEE ACES DO WELL THIS YEAR. LET’S GET TO TRAINING WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE SO WE CAN KICK SOME BUTT.
