Our Mission

The Hammerhead program is characterized by the principles of self-image psychology. This discipline is concerned with guiding and directing individuals toward maximum development of their talents and abilities. Similarly, the Hammerhead coaching staff endeavors to teach, train, and motivate young people to achieve their ultimate potential in swimming/triathlons/running in the belief that this experience will prove valuable to them as they grow and develop.

The Hammerhead program strives to instill in young athletes an understanding of and appreciation for such concepts as high self-esteem, personal accountability, self-discipline, goal setting, and goal achievement as these ideas relate to their success in training and in competition. It is our belief that the process of achieving is as significant as realizing the achievement itself.

At each level of the Hammerhead program, athletes are instructed to strive for excellence. Excellence in this sense represents the achievement of that level at which you know that you have done your utmost to become the best you are capable of becoming. This philosophy is consistent throughout the program, and every Hammerhead, novice to elite, is encouraged to: “BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE”
