Long day of prep for our first season with @swimcste 🙌 — but it’s hard to stop “working” when you love what you do.

Grateful to @SwimCoachMarsh & the staff for the trust. Excited to meet everyone & get to work. Let’s go, CSTE! 🌊🔥 #SwimElite

In the wake of Nathan Adrian and Caeleb Dressel, Jack Alexy 🇺🇸 is the sprint star the US desperately needs.

Amidst the criticism the team faced in Singapore, he shouldered a lot of it, and looks ready to be "the guy" for the US moving forward.

Strong emotions can help to explain behavior, but they don't excuse misbehavior.

You can't always control what you feel. You do get to decide whether, when, and how you express it.

A mark of emotional intelligence is being thoughtful about the impact of your moods on others.

All it takes is one.

[Coach Quotes @CoachMotto]

One player’s selfish attitude can poison a locker room and make it hard, if not impossible, to establish team work. – Dean Smith

[Coach Quotes @CoachMotto]

Don’t permit fear of failure to prevent effort. We are all imperfect and will fail on occasions, but fear of failure is the greatest failure of all. - John Wooden
