I swam competitively from the time I was 9- I swam on my schools Varsity team starting in 7th grade- my coach was TOUGH! there were many a times I left practice or meets crying and just as many where I declared that I was quitting the team- By the time I was a Senior and team captain I recognized how much I admired my coach. He taught our team a lot over the years about hard work, determination, persistence, and success- there were many times I thought I was going to die at practice, times I could barely walk for days after- but I did survive and think I am better for it.
