New Berlin West/Eisenhower is a strong D1 team...we knew that going in to our meet on Wed. night. The task at hand wasn't necessarily to win the meet, rather to see how well we stacked up against one of the best teams in the area. While we were hoping for a point total in the 60's, and the score ended up 99-71,(we had the 71), the score is not really indicative of the meet as a whole. While we had some really good things happen, we also made some of the same mistakes we've been making all season. So....while we, the Coaches, are pleased with the final score and many of the swims, we continue to try and teach through the mistakes being made.
1. grabbing the wall on your BR and fly turns
2. skinny, tight, deep pullouts
3. knowing your events
4. getting/staying healthy...eating right, sleeping right
Many of these are out of the coaches control, I understand that. This is where attention to detail comes in. Gentlemen...in order for something to change, YOU have to MAKE it change. It will not happen just because you want it to change. "WHAT YOU DO IN PRACTICE IS THE SAME THING THAT WILL HAPPEN IN A MEET." Let's practice smarter, and continue working hard and we'll all be pleased at the end.
Next up....THE BULLDOG "COOKIE MEET".
