The Positive Process
03/20/07
To be successful,
whether it’s in the real world or in this sports world
of ours, we have to think the positive
process.
Positive
thoughts become positive words.
Positive words become positive actions.
Positive actions become positive habits.
Positive habits become positive character.
And that
positive character will deliver you to a positive
destiny.

Build Self-esteem and a Positive Self-image.
 Learning
about oneself while enjoying the sport is one of the
most important aspects of swimming. The swimming
environment encourages learning and fun, helping your
child to develop a positive self-image. Athletes who
find their self-worth through winning will go through
tough times when they lose, and everyone, even Michael
Phelps, will lose sometime!
