Week One - July 6 - 9

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.  Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."  Helen Keller
 

Week one saw some new divers conquer some fears and learn a few new dives.

We expressed our Dreams in writing and discussed them.  We learned about how you learn diving best (Divers Learning Mode sheet).  Some of you showed your wish to compete in the Olympics or become the State Champ...and we proceeded to work on those goals. We discussed the importance of conditioning; how to overcome fear, how to focus, how to think positively and become that person..and much more.
