Bob Steele
Winning Spirit Swimming
One of the talks I give in working with teams around the country is entitled, TEAMANSHIP, at which
time I ask the swimmers, “what happens on your team that irritates you”. The following list of
irritants have been mentioned by swimmers. Often times a swimmer thinks only about themselves,
and either doesn’t know or care about others. Since there is no I in team, it’s important that
swimmers that negatively affect teammates correct their habits and attitudes, moving from being a
taker to being a giver.

The next issue of Steele’s Wisdom will list those traits, values and skills swimmers gain from being
part of THE team. These become life-time skills that affect your education, attitudes, and quality of
living as you become a mature adult, responsible for putting food on the table. If you’re a taker that
does any of the things listed here, CHANGE. It will help you be a better teammate, better and FASTER
swimmer. Just because you come to practice doesn’t mean you’ll get FASTER.

Let’s hope that you are NOT one of those people and IF you are you do something about changing
and doing things right or being a “GIVER” who is a “team-builder”.
