Because I cannot do what I ask my athletes to do. My triathletes are grown adults that get up at 5 am, willingly, to come and swim with me. To hammer themselves for 90 minutes and then get on with everything their other coach's want them to do. My swimmers, they are in another class altogether.
They swim 5-9 times a week. They do everything i ask of them. They turn themselves inside out to get better and to reach their goals. And what's more, at the end of the day, they laugh and carry on with me and manage not to hate me. They allow me to be a part of their success and their failures.
But no matter what, all of these athletes work their tails off for me. I hope I give them back what they give to me. God knows I try.
