Never Forget

Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children.

We Will Always Remember 9/11/01

God Bless America

INCREDIBLE First Week

It has been an incredible first week of practice and I could not be more proud of the team! This week has been challenging and each of the team members gave their best effort!  Everyone is on their way to being the best possible "you" that you can be.  Practice this morning had the coaches speechless and beyond proud.  It was an incredibly tough practice and they all conquered it!  AMAZING!  I truly believe other teams are going to be shocked when they see us take off in the pool.  Wesleyan has gone to a whole new level!

5 week until the WVU State Games!

Be The Best Possible "You" That You Can Be

Fresh start, clean slate, a world of possibility. But no matter what new adventure you're embarking on, you're still you. You bring you into every new beginning in your life. "Be the best possible 'you' that you can be!"

Great Start

The season is off to a great start!  Every swimmer has made HUGE changes and improvements throughout the week.  I am proud of each and every one of them for their focus, determination and drive to succeed.  Each day is a new day with a new challenge!  The challenges they have conquered this week has shown the team that they can accomplish their goals with a positive mental attitude, having fun and swimming SMART!

Lastly, I want to take the time to thank Coach Scott Hunsinger from Rochester, NY for taking the time to come down and help the team take the next step in the right direction.  His knowledge and ability to communicate to the athletes is incredible.  We are very fortunate to have his support.  Thank you!

6 AM

6:00am Practices began today!  Early morning practice is never easy to do.  "We shouldn't give up what we want the MOST for what we want at the MOMENT."  Practice began with some intense cardio followed by a dry land circuit then a light swim to stretch out.  All of the athletes impressed me this morning with their hard work and motivation!  It is always great to see each of them encouraging one another and pushing themselves to achieve their best.

Swimmers: Hydrate, Stretch and Rest before afternoon practice.

First Day

Today was the first day of the 2011-2012 Swim Season!  The student-athletes were excited yet nervous of what was ahead of them.  It was a great practice that began with some TOUGH ab exercises along with many push-ups.  After a light dryland the swimmers entered the water.  It was a challenging practice that each and every one conquered!  The beginning of the season is one of the many challenges they will have.  We have 6 weeks until our first meet at the WVU State Games!  With that said, there is limited time to get in shape and fix technique.  Our goal right now is to: 1. improve our technique 2. get in shape 3. have fun and smile!

Rest Up because tomorrow is our first morning workout!

Beautiful Day!

It was another beautiful day at practice!  Did a GREAT kick set today.  However their legs probably do not agree with that statement.  Preseason practice are coming to and end which means the real deal begins Tuesday!
