Swagger

First meet of the year is coming up on Saturday. We've been working hard all fall and its time to show the other teams at the New England Invitational what we've got.
One of the biggest parts of racing is having confidence, stepping up on the blocks and knowing that you're going to swim fast. You gotta have swagger, whether its on the starting blocks, on the rower, or in the squat rack. You gotta be ready to throw down.
A great example of an athlete with swagger is Usain Bolt. He's the fastest man in the world and he doesn't ever doubt himself. He approaches every race knowing that he is about to run as fast as he can. So this weekend when you're getting ready for your race, know that you are going to swim fast and make it happen.




The workout tomorrow is not obligatory for everyone, but if you cant to come down and work on your Olympic lifting you are more than welcome.
