THE FIRST 50 YARDS
Denial: The water isn’t as cold as yesterday!
Anger: If I violently spin my arms as fast as I can, it won’t be as cold as yesterday!
Bargaining: Maybe the jets are pumping warm water. I’ll go check.
Depression: If I lay motionless, maybe I’ll get out of practice.
Acceptance: It’s just as cold.
YOUR COACH'S GOOD MOOD
Denial: He’s going to give us an easy practice! He’s happy!
Anger: He’s happier when we’re sadder. Another hard practice today. He’s a masochist. I hate him.
Bargaining: What if I go a best time off the blocks? Right now? Best time ever? Can we get out?
Depression: If I lay motionless, he won’t be happy anymore.
Acceptance: He’s just naturally happy. The jerk.
30 x 1000's FREESTYLE
Denial: Ha! What a joker! Such a sense of humor my coach has!
Anger: (Expletive.)
Bargaining: Please, someone, please, let there be a blizzard, an earthquake, a UFO (unidentified floating object). Anything. Please.
Depression: What’s wrong with me? Why did I choose this sport?
Acceptance: Vendt did it.
CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING PRACTICE
Denial: Toughness comes with sacrifice. This will make me better.
Anger: Seriously? Christmas morning? Is there any justice in the world? Aren’t there laws against this? Is this a felony?
Bargaining: $500. I’ll pay you. Let me go home.
Depression: “How was your Christmas?” “I threw up. How was yours?”
Acceptance: I’ll just TP my coach’s house tomorrow.
