The
2007 Northern Swim Team Captains
I am very pleased to
share with you the Northern Swimming & Diving Team Captains for the
upcoming 2007-08 season. These junior and senior leaders with at least one
year of experience on the team, were selected by me, in consultation with Coach
Haller and others, based on their demonstrated track record for being...
A GOOD STUDENT…one who consistently maintains their academic
eligibility.
COMMITTED....to swimming and diving by virtue of having an excellent
attendance record.
PASSIONATE / ENTHUSIASTIC…about swimming and diving and being around
their teammates.
TRUSTWORTHY…supportive of the coaching staff, able to handle sensitive
information properly.
KNOWLEDGEABLE…about all the latest rules governing swimming and diving.
ORGANIZED…aware of the details of the season schedule and any updates at
all times.
HONEST…completely truthful with themselves and others at all times.
A GOOD LISTENER…always completely focused on what is being said by
others.
SELFLESS or FLEXIBLE…willing to put the needs of the team ahead of their
own.
POSITIVE....always quick to compliment others and slow to criticize.
RESPECTFUL...of the differences in others…treats everyone with respect,
regardless of their circumstances.
HELPFUL...often extending a helping hand…always looking for ways to help
others on the team.
MATURE…conducts themselves as a young adult at all times….a role model
for others.
RESPONSIBLE…when given an assignment, they carry it out without being
reminded.
A HARD WORKER…focused on completing all training as specifically
requested by the coaches.
These young men and women will be held to a higher standard. Each captain
signed a pledge wherein they swore they will endeavor during the season to
continue to exhibit these qualities.
For the girls team, there are six young ladies I feel have particular
gifts/strengths they bring to the team. These athletes will be sharing
the role of co-captain in pairs, with each pair serving a four week period
during the season.

Finally, as I said in the Team Handbook and at the Parents Meeting, I may
during the season select other members of the team to be "Meet
Captain" for particular meets. These would be individuals that I
feel during the season go "above and beyond" to serve as role models
and exhibit the aforementioned characteristics of a captain through their daily
actions.
With this leadership team in place, I'm confident we'll have a season to
remember!!!
I hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving Holiday.
Most Sincerely,
Coach Resser
