What does it mean to you to be a
member of the
Being on
the Carmel Swim Club National Team is a huge honor. I am very proud to be on this team because I
have proven to myself that all the endless hours, the hard work, and great
racing have finally paid off. I also
feel more like a leader for my team and have gained more respect as an
athlete.
What things have you learned in
root to making the National Team that you would pass onto future members of the
team?
I have
learned that if you believe in yourself, you can achieve your goals. It took a long time for me to realize that
you have to trust yourself and not worry about making the time standards, but
focus on the race that is ahead of you.
Also, I have learned that if you are confident before you race the
outcome will most likely be what you want.
