On my way to practice last Thursday I had the good fortune to catch several of my swimmers delivering a bag of groceries and supplies to a local homeless woman. As a coach it's my job to inspire my swimmers, but in this case it was my kids inspiring me. I'm really proud of them and the parents for making the purchase. As swimmers and coaches it's easy to be self-consumed...our sport requires a certain level of this kind of focus. Watching this act of kindness was a good reminder for me to stop and take a look around and consider whose life I can touch.
