You deal with all kinds of conditions very well(although still, training in paradise is much better than training anywhere else:)), you do not make excuses and you expect your athletes to not make excuses. You do not give them slack, you do not "baby" them, and you do not treat them like heroes if they overcome some tiny obstacles (like walking 5 miles to pool in snow up to their calves multiple times a week:))and I think that it is very important quality in coach. <br /><br />I have always been very inspired by you, by your toughtness, your "no excuses" attitude. and you have kept me more accountable by that attitude. <br />I think that your athletes train with YOU because of those qualitites. So you should take a lot of credit for your athletes getting the work done.mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.com
