Times Have Changed

or has my memory.

I seem to remember that we trained harder and made more workouts during Christmas training. That families didn't go away for weeks on end.

Now it is true that I do not shift my training schedule around at RallySport. We still practice at 5 am and that is no conducive to everybody coming and I don't lengthen the workouts. In fact, I even give some off days. I also need to comment that some swimmers are doing way more work. Madeline Crouch, the Isobes, Katherine Uhlir and others have been at more workouts than I can count in the last weeks.

However, half of my Sectional team is out of town, half of my Junior National kids are out of town and many that are here are not showing up. To me that seems different, but it cold just be me.

The world is different now, as is how we coach. If you haven't adjusted that you will soon be gone the way of Mike Leach and Mark Mangino, but I would like to see some of that fire back during Holiday training. You will need to have it when you get to college.
