Hello!
Last week was a great week of hard work, camaraderie, and decisiveness. The coaches and I even saw some athletes keeping each other accountable for making the right choices. THAT is what makes Pinnacle swim & dive one of the best teams in the state. This week's character quality (CQ) is Overcome. It is how we respond in tough times. I think we have all had moments where we want to give up or "throw in the towel", but when we learn to overcome those challenges we build perseverance, character and hope. We begin to understand how rewarding the successes are because were able to finish strong, be tenacious, and have grit...true grit!
