Potpourri Part II Going to Two-a Day Practices—Lets Make A Deal Frida Flipturn worked really hard to be promoted into a higher training group, but now that she is in the new group she is not meeting the increased practice attendance expectation.

A navigation error of less than...

Consistency One of the most important components of successful athletes is the ability to be consistent over long periods of time. To be successful at Championship time in February BSC swimmers need to be consistent in three areas: Attendance, Attitude, and Practice Performance.   Attendance: Everything starts and ends with attendance. Before Michael Phelps or Kate Ledecky every made an Olympic team they spent 3-6 years coming on time to every practice every day. No days off for parties, no days off after swim meets, no days off for competitive...
