Coach's Comments february, 2008

Dear BAC Athletes and Parents,

The Championship Season is already upon us.  The coming meets are the ones we have prepared ourselves for since September.  I am looking forward to a great season with great time drops and goals being met.  It is of the utmost importance for you to stay healthy, eating a balanced diet, lots of rest, stay focused and above all, the belief in your training and preparedness.

We have come so far as a team.  We have overcome obstacles and are now ready take on Michigan and the zone.  With the District meet being the first of our qualifying meets in less than 2 weeks.  I will be focusing on resting these swimmers in hopes of them making new time standards.  Next, we have the JO meet in less than 3 weeks and the week after that 12 and under state meet.  Where did the time go?

We will be working on technique and speed in the next month.  We have the base under us and ready to build speed.  Make sure you are not altering you sleep habits.  You need to go to bed early and get up early since that is exactly the same pattern you will need to swim in the championship meets.

As most of you know, last weekend there were to big meets for our swimmers.  The middle school MISCA meet and the CM meet in Cincinnati.  I am very proud of how our swimmers performed in both meets.  We had great competition in Cincy and learned that not all states run swim meets in the same manner as Michigan.  We must continue going to out of town meets to face new competition and new challenges.  I am looking forward to the next season travel meet.

Remember the secret to your success is you!

Yours in Swimming,

Coach Teri
