Mikey might be walking away from some meets this year with a whole bunch of medals, but the most impressive thing about it is the cool head he keeps. Mike is confident and consistent, and knows when he's done his best or messed up. I also think he understands the difference between making himself work hard and beating up on himself. We can't always have perfect meets - sometimes we're sick, sometimes we're not thinking straight, and sometimes things just don't go as planned. Still, Mike's a great example of the improvements people can make when they show up consistently and never quit!
