Show respect for your coaches and managers and other staff, they are dedicating their careers to guiding you towards development, improvement, success and ultimately excellence. Show RESPECT for other members of your training group. Those swimmers have experienced ups and downs, the difficult times, the successes and the apparent failures. Your teammates are there to understand, befriend and support you. Above all show RESPECT for your opposition, without them there would be no competition in which you could excel. They have dedicated themselves to their purpose just as you have. Wish them well and wish them success. World-renown psychologist Dr. Keith Bell advises, "The next time you race have a genuine desire that your opposition has the greatest race of their lives and that you beat them when they do."
