Coaches Clinics:
"The mission was to fire up next year's aquatic champions by providing their coaches with special training skills."
(Enticing the coaches loafing spirit with fish necklaces and sweeties (candy) until they successfully became coaches was Ms Melina's own private mission.)
~In return the clinician evaluations reflected the highest of scores.
Ms Melina became their Aquatic Clinician of choice!
(Bribery works every time.)
