“Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.”
One of my kids overheard in the locker room, "Rossi won again?!"
But not without the hardwork, perseverance and participation of each swimmer.
Not without the support of the parents.
Not without sacrificing time away from certain activities each swimmer would rather do, like sleeping in, going out with other friends, etc.
Not without our coaches' persistent directions from the early morning practices to the long afternoon ones.
Not without...
Giving up...
Percy Jackson was in the house!
