Wisconsin Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association Blog


-- Has any team qualified all three relays to state with fewer individual qualifiers than Beloit Memorial this year? Maybe, but you'd have to look hard to fine one. After all, strength in relays across the board usually means a team features some state-quality level swimmers. But the Purple Tide -- demonstrating the team commitment you find in coach Dick Vogel's squads -- qualified all three relays with only senior Jackson Prowse qualifying in the 100 breaststroke. Beloit may lack the firepower you see in their Big 8 Conference brethren, but the Tide almost always swims really well at the one meet of the year they point to -- sectionals.

ASCA Thought of the Day

	Thought of the Day From the 2016 World Clinic Yearbook
	Talking to athletes about learning it correctly the first time, if you don’t have time to learn it correctly the first time, how will you ever have time to re-learn it correctly? The three immutable rules of improvement for Life Show up. Honor Your Teammates with Your Effort Do things correctly. One of the most important aspects of growing up is learning self-regulation. If the parent is a helicopter or Curling Parent, the poor child never gains this life-skill and disaster occurs the first the opportunity presents itself. Imagine the girl who never had a parent-supervised drink at home. Now she’s in college and goes to her first frat party Imagine.  Autonomy matters. Build some into every practice. A little bit of danger requiring courage matters. Build it into every practice. Chase one Rabbit. Thanks Coach Confucius. Do one thing at a time.  Multi-tasking is a myth. You can’t do two important things at the same time. Sure, you can wash the dishes while the laundry soaks. But those are not important things. Chase One Rabbit when it matters. (and it always matters, or should).  John Leonard, ASCA from Teaching Life Skills to 12 and Unders in Daily Practices
