Team Secrets of Success: 

If you want to get the most out of and accelerate your Sailfish swimming career, the Goals/Journal and Mindset books listed below are highly recommend as they go in depth; into the many reasons why we coach the way we do, and into the "How" to make the most of the opportunity of swimming with the Sailfish. These are not buy it and put it on the to-be-read-later stack of books. They are interactive, daily tools to learn how to improve, self-talk, communication with your coach, focus, motivation, practice, meet performance and much more. They are expensive but if you use them, they will save you a great deal of time and money in the long run that would otherwise be spent chasing your tail.
