At the beginning of the short course season, the swim coach asked the team to fill out a SMART Goals Sheet. My daughter wrote that her goals were to qualify for the State Championships in February. A swimmer needs "A" times to qualify to compete at the State Championship meet. She achieved her goals of "A" times (bonus in 7 events). She competed in 6 events and two relays. The first day she was competing in 5 events. The nerves were running high and the relays are such a great way to bond with other teammates and burn off some of the race jitters and anxiety. On the second day she was focusing on trying to achieve a Regional time for the 50 free. She didn't meet that goal but did get a bonus of a 10-year old "A" time in the 50 free. For her first short course I am very proud of her! I made this flier for her and she taped it to the wall next to her bed.
