Notebook: CCL champion St. Charles Cardinals prep for swimming postseason
ThisWeek group
The St. Charles swimming and diving team is preparing for the Division I postseason after maneuvering through an “unprecedented” regular season and winning its 22nd consecutive CCL championship Jan. 30 in its home pool.
Coach Kyle Goodrich said it’s all about getting his athletes mentally prepared by having them embrace the changes and curves posed by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s unique, it’s unprecedented and it’s fun,” Goodrich said. “If we can just convey that to our swimmers, then we’re doing the right thing. If we approach with timidity or apprehension or whatever, it’s going to challenge them across the board. We don’t ever expect to do these things again, so let’s have fun with it. Let’s embrace it.
