When It Is Not Everything You Hope for, Still Give It Everything You Have

It takes courage to change.  It takes passion.  It takes a genuine leap of faith.

Graduation videos, postings, announcements, and college decisions are filling up Facebook like an overflowing dam. Oh,  the possibilities of life as they shine bright during special times and moments.

To some extent any of us who make big decisions, such as where to go to college, where to play a sport, and even what to major in are rolling the dice.  You never know whether it will be all you hoped for, fall short of what you dreamed of, or somewhere in between. What these last years have taught me, and my children, is part of life is knowing when to change course and direction.   And this is profoundly true in college athletics like swimming.
