Last weekend we went to the Sausalito Art and Music Festival. There was an enormous amount of creativity on display and it was obvious talking with many of the artists that no matter their medium they all were engaged in some personal pursuit, using their art to express themselves.
WISDOM is knowing what to do.
SKILL is knowing how to do it well.
VIRTUE is doing it well.
We will remember that the next time we walk onto the pool deck!
This weekend we attended the 42nd Annual World Swimming Coaches Clinic sponsored by the American Swimming Coaches Association. Coaches from all over the world attended sharing ideas and information about this fabulous sport. One of the recurring themes was that this sport of ours is a vehicle for teaching life lessons…that we all seek the “Aha” moment both in the pool and in life.
John Casadia is an ASCA Level 5 (the highest level) coach and former teacher from Vineland School District in New Jersey. He had this to say:
“If you always do what you always did you will always get what you already got.”
We will remember this when we plan our next workout and then walk on the deck to deliver it to our athletes.
Have an awesome week!
