As a 20-time Mid-American Conference champion and two-time NCAA Academic All American, Hobel knew what it took to stand atop the podium.<\/p>\n<p>After spending a memorable weekend walking the red brick paths of the Ohio University campus, Hobel had much to reminisce on from her experience as a student-athlete. When asked about her decision to attend OU, she expressed how the campus and team cohesiveness was incomparable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I came here, not only did I fall in love with the campus, but the team, they were just so awesome. They were so fun\u2026 The whole team aspect of it was something I couldn\u2019t turn down,\u201d Hobel said.<\/p>\n<p>Hobel is a firm believer that building a positive team environment and having a good attitude is the secret to success. At the conclusion of Hobel\u2019s freshman season, the Bobcats took second place to Miami University by 6.5 points at the MAC championships. The following year, the team was fired up with the goal engraved in their minds to beat Miami, only to fall short again by about 100 points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody kind of had a bad attitude. The attitude wasn\u2019t right. We were only focused on winning and nothing else,\u201d Hobel said.<\/p>\n<p>Going into Hobel\u2019s junior season, the Bobcats had a shift in mindset that made all the difference. The OU swim and dive team decided to break things down and focus on what they needed to do to better themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy junior year, the year that we won, our team captains were like, &#8216;Look, a goal of ours, is not going to be to win MACs. Our goal is to be positive, supportive of each other, do what we need to do in the water. All of these things that are going to make a team,\u2019\u201d Hobel said.<\/p>\n<p>As the season unfolded, the team never talked about winning. Instead, it focused on swimming smart and supporting one another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were unstoppable,\u201d Hobel said.<\/p>\n<p>As Hobel reflected on her past, she shared another one of her proudest moments as a Bobcat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe never lost a relay at MACs out of my four years here. I didn\u2019t even realize it at the time how big that was\u2026I love that one because it\u2019s so much of a team aspect. It took everybody, it took the whole team,\u201d Hobel said.<\/p>\n<p>When it came to training and competing, Hobel exemplified the mindset of a champion from a young age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had one of the best coaches when I was 16 who always told us, \u2018If you take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves,\u2019\u201d Hobel said.<\/p>\n<p>Hobel carried her beliefs into her college swimming career as she continued to focus on the small things, such as stroke technique, consistency, practicing good turns and underwaters and overall training the way that she wanted to swim in a meet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re here to be good so that\u2019s how we trained,\u201d Hobel said.<\/p>\n<p>On top of her smart training tactics, she also focused on her habits outside of the pool. Hobel made sure to fuel her body appropriately and stay positive when she was off the pool deck as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn my dorm room wall, I had a sign that said, \u2018Adversity makes some people break and others break records,\u2019\u201d Hobel said.<\/p>\n<p>Swimming is not only a physical sport, but a mental one, too. Hobel was an advocate for the method of visualization and its role in preparing her for success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would visualize my races a month leading up to the MACs. I would close my eyes and I would visualize every stroke and every turn. I was ready when the time came,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>College athletics prepares you for so many different areas of life. As a current personal trainer, wife and mother of two, Hobel has found her experiences as a student-athlete valuable to her adult lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t realize it at the time how marketable I was when I graduated. As a student-athlete, you know so much about time management, discipline and what it takes to set a goal and achieve it. All of these things that are so important to businesses and jobs. They want somebody with that work ethic,\u201d Hobel said.<\/p>\n<p>Hobel\u2019s advice for the current Ohio swimming and diving team is to value friendship, embrace every moment and overall, just have fun with the sport and everything that it offers.<\/p>\n<p>During Hobel\u2019s tenure, she became the third-highest MAC champion in conference history. She was a five-time MAC and OU school record holder, as well as a four-time First Team All-MAC honoree. Hobel went undefeated at the MAC championships in her main event, the 200 backstroke. The 2001 MAC Senior Swimmer of the Year was a three-time Academic All-MAC member, as well as a recipient of the MAC Commissioner\u2019s Award and the MAC Presidential Award. Hobel was a Senior Nationals qualifier from 1997-1999 and an Olympic Trials qualifier in 2000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohio University\u2019s Emily Hobel was recently inducted into the Kermit Blosser Hall of Fame for her outstanding collegiate swimming career as a Bobcat from 1997-2001.
