Daddy, I don't feel like going to the training today. Mum, could you please tell the coach that my tummy hurts and that I’m not in the mood for swimming today. Why should I go to the training today if just yesterday we had that competition and I won a medal? Look at this lousy weather, mum can I just skip today’s training, pleaseeeee… I’m sure these sentences are familiar to you, not only when it comes to the excuses for training, swimming, but any form of learning… If children are not motivated, for a tiniest little thing, not to mention swimming, they will lose their motivation, right after the first «hurdle» or even a conquered «top of a mountain». This is why parents usually ask: What sh
Tata, danas mi se ne ide na trening. Mama, reci treneru da me boli stomak, nisam baš raspoložen danas za plivanje. Zašto da idem na trening danas, kada sam juče imao takmičenje i osvojio medalju. Vidi koje je nevreme, da li mogu da preskočim čas, danas moooolim te mama... Siguran sam da su vam ove rečenice poznate, ne samo kao izgovori za trening, plivanje, već i za bilo koji oblik učenja... Ukoliko deca nisu motivisana, i za najmanju stvar, a kamoli za plivanje, izgubiće interesovanje, već posle prve «prepone» ili čak osvojenog «vrha». Zato su česta pitanja roditelja: Šta uraditi da dete ne izgubi motiv za treningom, plivanjem, učenjem. Kako ga motivisati, kada su ciljevi već ispunjeni? Ko
Once they get children, the majority of men, with a few honourable exceptions, become totally negligent… They start neglecting their health, the way they look, because, oh boy, now they have their own haven. On the contrary, that it the very time you should pay some extra attention to your well-being, and your health, since by doing so, you give an example and you will feel more responsible to yourself and to your family, children. I know, most of you would come up with: Yeah, but how, when… every single free moment I get, I want to spend it with my dudes watching a good match, with my family, relaxing, etc. I know, I’ve been there; when you’re so exhausted and you just can’t help falling as
Danas većina muškaraca, čast izuzecima, kada dođu deca, opuste se u svakom smislu... Zanemare svoje zdravlje, izgled jer bože moj imaju svoju mirnu luku. Naprotiv, tek tada treba dodatno da vodite računa o sebi, svom zdravlju, jer dajete primer i imate veću odgovornost kako prema sebi tako i porodici, deci. Znam, većina vas bi mi sad rekla: Jeste, kako, kada... svaki slobodan trenutak jedva čekam da gledam neku dobru utakmicu sa ekipom, budem sa porodicom, odmorim, i sl. Znam imao sam i ja svoje trenutke, kada ti dođe da zaspiš od umora stojeći, ili kod kumova dok ti nešto bitno pričaju, za večerom dok ti žena nešto objašnjava ili dok čitaš priču deci... Ali u jednom trenutku se trgnete, da
Kako savremena žena da integriše plivanje u svoj život? Zašto žene treba više da plivaju? Zašto je plivanje dobro za mame? O ovim pitanjima treba da govorimo što češće, kako bi nam mame, sestre, žene, tetke, ujne, strine, komšinice, koleginice bile što zadovoljnije, zdravije! Zato da ponovimo još jednom... Da li žene, majke, «kraljice» danas imaju vremena za sebe, a kamoli još i za plivanje? Ili se utrkuju sve više sa mnogobrojnim «to do listama», koje same sebi nametnu od sumraka do svitanja. Znam, imate uvek spreman neki izgovor: umorna sam; bole me leđa; decu treba pokupiti iz škole, odvesti od tačke A do tačke B; imam zakazano kod frizera, manikira; sutra rano je bitan sastanak sa klijen
How should a modern woman integrate swimming in her life? Why should women swim more? Why is swimming good for mummies? We should discuss this topic more often so that our mothers, sisters, wives, aunts, neighbours, colleagues could be much more pleased and healthier! So let’s say it once again…. Do wives, mothers, «queens» have enough time for themselves today, not to mention swimming? Or they are just struggling with the never-ending «to do lists» they make to themselves keeping them busy from dusk to dawn. I know, you always have a ready excuse: I’m tired; my back hurts; I need to pick up the kids from school, take them from point A to point B; I have an appointment at my hairdresser’s, m
