Coach Pike said to me, that's why they call it trials. How true is that statement. That's what the swimmers and coaches have been doing here this week, trying ourselves, see where we are at and more importantly where we need to go.
Myself I know we do a lot right, but I don't think we were ready mentally to handle 8 days of competition and the mental energy we need to stay focused and relaxed. We have to prepare our athletes better. It's great to get into the meet, but now we need to learn to be in the meet at night (Finals).
We have 4 years to do that and I'm ready to go for it
