Oneonta & the Dan Clark experience

We swam at Oneonta last weekend. long trip. long meet. It went well though, the men and women both won easily and swam fairly well. Congratulations to Leah Matthews on setting a pool record in the 100 breast. The men have two tough meets coming up against Clarkson and MCC, the women should not have a tough go of it and it will give us a chance to mix up what we swim.
A few weeks ago we had the opportunity (along with the entire athletic department) to attend a motivational talk with Dan Clark. Honestly, I am often skeptical of going to these things, thinking they are going to be a little to hokey or cookie cutter type talks. From the first word I was captivated, and as I looked around the packed house, so was everyone else. He really is a pretty amazing individual and I couldn't even begin to document why. I left that night feeling great and feeling motivated. My only dissapointment was that not everyone on our team could make it. If you ever get the chance to see him speak, take it, you will not be disappointed.
