Thanks Jan.

The essence of greatness is being different: being unique: being yourself. Believe in yourself, be yourself and back yourself.

They encourage me to think outside the square,follow my instincts and keep it simple and relaxed.

Thanks Greg.

It’s amazing that many coaches and swimmers look at tapering and peaking as being risky, dangerous and tricky. But it’s mostly about keeping things normal, consistent and using common sense.

It’s also amazing how many coaches and swimmers will allow themselves to have a poor preparation then hope and pray a great taper will overcome months of mediocrity.

The secret is….there is no secret. Work hard, work smart and work consistently.
