Lake Forest Swim Club | Print Article | Share Article | Email Article | in Long Course, News, Programs | tagged High School Wednesday, March 3, 2010 at 10:20AM Post a Comment From the college entrance essay of Jackson Leonard, son of former LFSC coach John Leonard.
"... there is a difference between those swimmers who try and those who try harder. It became my obsession by all who watched me as a swimmer who tried harder than anyone else.
"After placing 13th in the 2007 [Florida HS] State Meet, I resolved to make sure absolutely nothing stood in my way of placing in the top three in my final high school swimming season in 2008.My mind was set and no force in heaven or on Earth was going to break my will to succeed. I spent countless hours in the weight room alone lifting and working out until exhaustion. Countless hours were spent with no one there to congratulate me on my efforts or look on in admiration; only me desire to succeed stood with me during those hours.
"... I have been hardened to perform at the necessary level to achieve the title of state champion. ... we are not handed anything in this life without a price ... The only way to accomplish any feat in life is to persist without exception."
