“The impossible is what motivates me everyday to go to the pool. It's so satisfying, so epically rewarding when you start chipping away at those idealistic goals. Nothing has made me more committed to my training than choosing a scary goal and taking the steps to go after it.”

“Katie, I want you to keep a journal,” he said. “Write down the main set from practice. And write down something special you did that day.” That was kind of his tag phrase, “something special.” He wanted his swimmers to do something special every day. I was to write how I did in practice, the total yardage.”

“For a striving athlete, there is no substitute for relationships with people living and breathing the same experience, the dedication and the deprivation. Few folks know what it means to show up before the sun, log lap after lap, monitor every meal, put so much of your life on hold for a singular goal. But ultimately, it's a blessing to compete in this sport. And do it with others who love it as much as I do.”
