The Winning Stroke (2009)
“By Monday, he realized he had to learn to do everything—and he had to learn to do it well.
He worked out a schedule of private training in addition to team practice and showed it to the coach. It included an extra half hour of laps after regular practice. He knew the coach did paperwork in his office each day after the team had left, so he figured he could use the pool without any trouble. When Coach Fulton approved the plan, after making some changes, Jerry posted it on his bedroom door. I...t was the first thing he saw in the morning and the last thing at night.
