This week Rob from Robaquatics.com released his big plan for an open water tour.  This guy is crazy and yet is brilliant making each and every one of us want to check the block daily.  Read up on the his awesome plans http://robaquatics.com/2010/02/big-announcement-rob-aquatics-summer-open-water-tour.html

    2. I always wonder about the struggling athlete, the athlete that works hard to not make it by hundredths of a second.  If you want an article on that you have come to the wrong place.  This week you need to think top of the game, the one that make the cut by a hundredth and get that Golden opportunity.  Check out Gold Medal Mel’s blog for more http://www.goldmedalmel.typepad.com/mel/2010/02/apolo-ohno-turns-olympic-medals-into-endorsement-gold-.html

    3. Ai Connect has a good post this week that asks a very important question, are you exclusive? Check it out here and leave your comments http://aiconnect.ning.com/profiles/blogs/are-you-exclusive

    4. Check out this inside track on the NCSA from my friend and legendary Coach BOB Gillett http://www.swimmingworld.tv/split-time/2010/2/27/split-time-with-bob-gillett.html

    Have a great week!

    Just a reminder stay vigilant and keep your in-service going strong.  It is very important and vital to everyone in the Aquatics World.

The weather is supposed to be over 100 degrees this weekend and there is no relief in sight.

    This time of year all of us in the Aquatics World are thrown new challenges and this year more than most with the state of the economy.

    I have been thinking of ways to still develop as a professional. It has always been my goal to spend 10% of my salary on professional development. This is not always possible but is bound to keep you ahead of the pack in a time when jobs are being cut if you can reinvent the wheel you will succeed and will develop into a the future of not only aquatics but higher level management. I encourage you to go crazy and spoil yourself. Take the time to register for a conference, go back to school, read and begin to develop.
