Three energy systems in sport, each one a major test,\nWhich do I concentrate on so they all swim their best?\nPlans, schedules and training sets, hoping each one is fine,\nTo make sure they all peak at exactly the same time.\nTrusting your knowledge and never having to guess,\nFor various swims ranging from 200 metres or less.\nMost love Backstroke, Freestyle, Breaststroke some the Fly,\nMy job to ensure they all do their best and give it a try.\nInwardly asking is it really all worthwhile,\nThen knowing the answer when they PB and smile.\n\u201dGood swim\u201d another rival coach gives you praise,\nIt helps the inner demons causing my malaise.\nWhen it all goes wrong it\u2019s a slap in the face,\nWhat on earth went wrong in that important race?\nDon\u2019t beat yourself up I hear myself say,\nAfter all we shall live to fight another day.\nNext time will be better, he says with some doubt,\nThe buck stops with me to sort it all out.\nI have done all I can just move on to the next meet,\nRemember you have given your all and coached a real athlete.\nTimes are not great just now and things are all to pot,\nBut I miss the coaching and all of you a heck of a lot.\nThat\u2019s the end of this poem, you probably can tell\nSo hopefully see you all soon stay safe and well.\n\nColin Galbraith\nHeadcoach\nScorpion Swim Team\n\n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
