Staying positively motivated to give 110% effort 100% of the time.

"Body does what mind prefers" Lenny Krayzelburg "I swam the race like I trained to swim it. It is not mathematical. I just let my body do it. It is a lot easier if you let your body do what it is trained for" Ian Thorpe "I told myself there was no way I was going to let this training go to waste. It was my time, and I was ready to go." Katoe Hoff Only those risking to go far will ever know how far they can go. Swim each practice as though it was the most important practice of the year.

Taking 4th at state as an 8th grader. sneaking into 16th place in the 100 breast stroke in section finals, and taking 9th over all as a senior. Getting a new best time in the 100 fly while swimming in college. This was significant because as a 9th grader I injured my shoulder, and thought I would never be able to swim competitively again. Swimming in college for UWRF. Swimming 1 armed fly as a senior at high school state in the 200 medley relay.
