I hope you all feel like you accomplished a little bit with respect to gaining a better understanding of what the stroke should look and feel like, and how close you are to getting it "right".
Previous coaching with Les has given you all an excellent starting place, and some of you have improved greatly from one season to this. We are fine-tuning and adjusting the little things that, when added up, can make a huge over all difference in competition.
Film is a valuable asset to our program, please do not be afraid to get filmed. We are all, on some level, self-conscious and we all, myself included, can learn a lot from being filmed and critiqued.
I will review the film again, and make individual comments and email you some clips to help solidify the areas that you need to concentrate on- as well as allow you to ask us specific questions so we can clarify in as many ways possible what we are hoping to achieve.
"in as many ways possible" - may not make much sense, but often times I think I am explaining something and it makes clear sense, and then Mike,Jeannette or Lisa will say the same thing in a different way- and suddenly its all clear to you.
Dont be afraid to ask us.
Excellent job today team- thank you Steve and Dave for teching out the pop-up studio, thank you Jerry for steering us, and thank you Marshall and Lisa for the stationary boat set-up.
Have a great week team- see you Sunday!
Reminder: Sunday the 23rd: we have Jerry and Susie offering a steering clinic towards the end of practice- for those interested- please plan to stay.
Dont forget to RECRUIT for our January 30th Orientation!
