Hey, so it has been a couple of days since my last post, and I'm better but still not exactly feeling that great. However, this post will NOT be a gloomy, sad post.....
The other day, my group at swim team had to say goodbye to our coach, who resigned so that he could start a business. It didn't really hit me until the other day that he's actually gone. We have a new coach now, who we all know anyways, so that isn't an issue. But its just been very hard because we don't know this coach as well. We had him last summer for a little, and he is a very hard coach. However, I have decided to not look at this as a bad thing, but instead, a very good thing. I've really been wanting to step it up in swimming, and I think that having a new coach is definitely going to motivate me to do that. He offers no mercy (literally) and I'm going to hate him sometimes, (ok, maybe more than sometimes) but I know that I am going to have to learn to put up with pain in order to get through life. I can't take the easy way out, I have to do things thouroughly and the best I can. Not only in swimming, but in my personal life as well.
I know that it is going to very important that we all treat my new coach with respect. Because I realize that he is new to this as well and that we need to accept him.
I presume that this summer of 2012 will involve a lot of physical (and personal) pain, but I know that without pain there is no reward, and I know that if I learn to just deal with it, I'll be a stronger person. Also, I'm not going to go after love, but wait for it to tap me on the shoulder.
I hope that anyone reading this understands what I'm trying to say... and that it doesn't mean that I'm not going to have fun. Cause I'm gonna be one heck of a wild child :)
