Take all defeats as temporary setbacks.
The road to success is always under construction.
There is always room at the top.
The swimmer who says, "It can’t be done" is passed by the swimmer who is doing it.
The will to win is not nearly so important as the will to prepare to win.
The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.
The future belongs to those who prepare for it.
The height of your success is determined by the depth of your belief.
The harder your work, the luckier you get.
The hardest thing about climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond into the impossible.
The swimmer that makes the fewest mistakes wins.
Trust your hopes, not your fears.
Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength.
He who does not hope to win has already lost.
If you do not consciously form good habits, you will unconsciously form bad ones.
Losers let it happen, winners make it happen.
Life’s greatest adventure is in doing one’s very best.
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
Only those risking to go far will ever know how far they can go.
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Practice is 90% physical-10% mental. Championship meets are 10% physical-90% mental.
Pride, intense pride, that’s what it all comes down to.
Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.
People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they themselves discovered than by those which have come from others.

Swim each practice as if it was the most important practice of the year.
Take the best team and the worst team. Line them up and you would find very little physical difference. You would find an emotional difference. The winning team has a dedication–they won’t accept defeat. Ability may take you to the top, but it takes character to stay there.
Act as if it were impossible to fail and it will be.
Actions speak louder than coaches. (Speedo ad)
Always remember, whatever the goal–keep your eye on it.
Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?
A winner makes committments to a goal, a loser makes promises.
Defeat should never be a source of disappointment, but rather a fresh stimulus.
Don’t count the days, make the days count.
Faith can move mountains, doubt can create them.
Focus on your strong points when you visualize your race.
Failure is often that early morning hour of darkness that precedes the dawning of the day of success.
Go hard or go home. (Speedo advertisement)
