I spent New Year ’s Eve
working with the Kenyon swim team, what a party! Talk about an uplifting way to end the old
and start the new. These kids are great. Focused and motivated. They come to
Sarasota every winter break for ten days to train. It has been really neat to
see their progress since September. They have made significant strength gains
and some huge body composition changes. It was really cool to see one of the
female swimmer doing one are dumbbell snatches with 40 pounds as part of a
complex – that is strong! I am looking forward to a few more sessions with them
while they are here. People want to know the secret of their success; well it
is great coaching and good old fashioned focused hard work. No better way to
kick off the new year than getting to hang out with a bunch of champions working to get better.

Coach Steen and crew do work extremely hard which makes me wonder could a ground based sport work just as hard without a huge increase in injuries? Coach Steen’s success also has something to do with the product he sells (Kenyon College education) and his ability to recognize and project talent.
