What we learn as swimmers goes
far beyond the water…
During the sport psychology
session, focus is placed on team
building activities that emphasize
the importance of transferable life
skills. Campers interact within
small groups on activities
designed to encourage: problem
solving, communication, brainstorming, listening skills, leadership, goal
setting, focus, competition, positive attitude, perseverance, and the like.
After working together to complete their tasks, we process through their
experiences together. Campers share their thoughts, what skills they
used to be successful, and how the experience is transferable. The
importance of those skills being used in school, at home, in friendships,
and in their sports is the culminating point drawn from this sport (“life”)
psychology lesson.
