Weekly Update - Sunday, June 13, 2021

Monty Hopkins

Hello MAST Families,

I hope that you had the chance to watch the first night of USA Olympic Trials.  What an amazing swim meet this is.  From a technical standpoint there is something to learn from every swim. 

The race of the night, in my opinion, was that incredible women's 400 IM final.  If you didn't see it, but can find it on YoueTube, it is worth watching (in my case... watching it over and over again).

Here are some things to keep in mind for MAST swimming.

1) SOSL dual meet on Tuesday night.  Please check the meet Events and Competition page for updates and entries.

2) The Pau Hana meet this weekend in Dresden, OH.  It will be great to get in an outdoor long course meet.

3) We will have regular practice all week.

4) Black 2 & Black 3 will not have Dryland after Friday morning practice.

Final thought: This past week was one of the best weeks of practices we have had across all practice groups.  It was great to see all the hard work in the pool and the resulting improvement our swimmers are starting to achieve.  This is what we, as coaches, look forward to.  Better practice attendance was one of the main factors that helped bring the level up. Another critical factor is practice consistency.  Practice plans for each week build on the previous week so the more consistent a swimmer is in following training plans, the better the chances for improvement become. We know that there is a lot of competition for our swimmers time so we work to make every practice challenging and purposeful.  It is hoped that we will continue to see this effort and improvement at every practice.

Have a nice evening - See you at the pool.

Monty
