It’s not lost on me that here very soon, we are going to be asking our kids to do some very big things. With our move to Spain right around the corner, they’re certainly going to be pushed out of their comfort zone.
So why not just start now! Two weeks ago I told my kids that they were going to practice with a swim team in Tucson. I was met with some resistance but they bucked up and stepped up to the plate. It was hard to walk into a new pool, with new coaches and new swimmers. But they did just that…and thrived!
The coaches had such wonderful things to say about the girls, their work ethic, their attitudes and their willingness to take advice from new coaches. They met new kids and certainly enjoyed the two weeks they spent with the FAST swim team in Oro Valley. We’re thankful for coaches like Nancy and Lina that push our kids and cheer them on even when they’ve just met them. And all of this is just setting the stage for when they walk into a new team situation in Spain!
