As athletes, there will always be 'good' and 'bad' performances.
However, the good ones tend to pass people by, but there is so much more to gain from them.
This is one of the things I love to work on with my mentoring athletes, and is something I've noticed make a difference! pic.twitter.com/JxvVnJpkyw

Wishing @katieledecky all the best in her move from #Stanford to #Florida. I was shocked, but also not shocked to hear the news. She will be magical wherever she chooses to swim. pic.twitter.com/RaAQPUILbb

Who is Amy van dyken?
I hope Amy Van Dyken never does commentating for swimming, or anything near swimming, in the future. She was much worse than Ambrose, which is already a horribly low barrier to cross.
Also, she is most likely a drug cheat. You’d be a fool not to think she was going to BALCO for the reasons other athletes were. People should be much more timid in how they support her swimming accomplishments.
She’s also famous for spitting into the lanes of her competitors. 🙄
Re:3 – Let’s say that people in both groups tend to have similar backgrounds. (Ie, not super poor and also, prolly white.)
Signed, a former bad swimmer and also former campaign staffer.
