I was just put in charge of the rowdiest group of boys I have ever seen. They were so bad I barely got them to do 300 yards in the first practice. I wasn't even able to get their names or any times.
They're middle school level, and while I'd love to keep them, I'm not going to put up with 40 boys who are like that. I want to cut that number to about 30.
I could do a 50 and cut by time, but I was thinking of having them swim a 500, and anyone who touched the floor, stopped to talk, or doesn't finish would be out, especially during the first part of the drill. Do you think that is fair?
To me a role model is more of a mystical figure that is an example of what a person can become if they work really hard at it - someone like Michael Phelps.
Mystical, huh?
That's the problem, people use mystical people as their role models, someone like Michael Phelps. Role models should be tangible and present, not mysterious and aloof.
