I think this result speaks volumes about the attitude and togetherness of our training group—also, each of those top three seeds came into college with 5:10+ 500s.

Great start to day two of the @CCSA_Swim_Dive Championships for @LUSwimDive. Five A Finalists in the 500, including the top three seeds. (1. Finnigan - 4:53.08; 2. Zimcosky - 4:53.59; 3. Black - 4:54.03; 6. Arnett - 4:55.15; 7. Manly - 4:55.66) Magnusson made B Final in 5:06.70.

Posted this on Facebook and I’m gonna put it here too because it’s so important to me. It’s long, but this drives me from my core.

I’ve spent about 9 months pushing my training tempo down by .05 seconds, .01 at a time, and now I’ve got two years to make sure I can race all 94 strokes of my 2fly that .05 faster...patience is a virtue

@hoopdiaries I am in town, and personal favorite/most useful to me was Coaching the Mental Game, but I don’t know if you’ve already read that, I think I bought it after spying it on @SheltonGStevens bookshelf

I have a weird mix

Finally made that 2016 Trials cut in my 100 fly, but ironically missed the nationals cut I was going for by the same exact margin I originally missed the Trials cut by (0.16)...swimming is fun 😂

The amount of comments on my mom’s Facebook posts about me always make me feel famous 😂😂 @BSF_SL

You can read all about one successful person’s opinions and experience, but the beauty of qualitative research is that it finds the constant themes in many narratives...it might seem to rehash common sense for some, but it forms the foundation of what will be taught in the future

[Alicia Cardie @dolphinnigan]

One of my favorite concepts that’s found its way into the literature now is team culture. “Within the present research an effective team appeared to develop from the CULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT within which it was situated.”

@hoopdiaries I love this! One of my favorite quotes that changed how I live my entire life—“when there’s no logical answer, the creative person changes the question.” By constantly expanding the parameters you think in, you redefine what’s possible!!

[Alicia Cardie @dolphinnigan]

Absolutely nothing in my season this year went the way I wanted it to except for one thing: I had a teammate with me at NCAAs. Since my goal is to help build a program, I’m going to take that with pride, give myself a break, and then find a way to work even harder.

There can’t be any purer form of learning than reading with a passion on any and every topic of interest to a person...how did my education manage to make research sound boring when it’s turned out to be one of the most exciting endeavors of my life?

[Alicia Cardie @dolphinnigan]

I do my Chinese homework with a (regular) pen I bought in China...I think that’s a special category of extra

I don't care how good you are, if you take ownership of your work and aren't afraid to push your limits, you're on the path to greatness

[Alicia Cardie @dolphinnigan]

It's SO good to be back @LibertyU...loving every minute

[Alicia Cardie @dolphinnigan]

Best year yet...ready, set, GO 👊🏼
