Eastern Daylight Time (New York, GMT-04:00)
You will learn:
• The three requirements for making a change
• Why your child might resist any change
• How to explain the phases of change
• How to get your child’s buy-in for necessary change
David will connect the key life skills of the lesson with winning on the field, and in life. The Power Point materials are loaded with practical information worth saving for future reference.
Novice and Bronze - Coach Lisa
Each swimmer needs their own kickboard and fins. Please order those through https://swimquik.com/collections/swim-omaha
Novice and Bronze need "long blade" fins. Not the short ones. There are no Arena brand long blade fins. Please order the speedo ones on the team store.
Make sure you have read the changes for Wednesday practice (above)
