Determined. Swam it alone. Her friends stuck around and cheered her on, and then hugged her when she didn&#8217;t make the mark she was reaching for. Pool is empty, swimmers are finished and gone, but look closely at this moment with her coach. &#8220;We should seize every opportunity to give encouragement. Encouragement is OXYGEN to the SOUL&#8221; -George M. Adams <\/span><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>BEYOND\u00a0the crowds, beyond the medals, beyond the sight line of the masses, there is an athlete.<\/p>\n<p>The athlete commits time, energy, pain, tears of joy and tears of sorry.<\/p>\n<p>They have love and support from family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>They often are the first ones to arrive and the last one to leave after picking up equipment that others have left behind.<\/p>\n<p>They are willing to risk everything for the sake of losing hundredths of a second, only to come up short and justifying\u00a0that a best time still doesn\u2019t feel like they had done anything of significance.<\/p>\n<p>They put their effort out in public for all to see, even when a glimmer of hope to achieve seems rather remote.<\/p>\n<p>They pay the price.<\/p>\n<p>They make the sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>They willingly give up all freedom for the guidance and direction of the coach in charge.<\/p>\n<p>A simple word can either destroy or can build an insurmountable level of confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was great\u201d \u201cYou do awesome\u201d \u201cI\u2019m proud of your effort\u201d, \u201cThat success you had was all because of
