Connor has been playing baseball for several years and it has finally started wearing on him. He has been wanting to pursue several other sports and I told him that he had to narrow it down to one thing. Connor decided for the fall semester that he would take up diving. He has always been a fish out of water so his choice didn't surprise me one bit. We drive 2-3 times per week 20 minutes to the Mansfield Natatorium. The twins and I get to go upstairs and sit in the observation area while Connor spends about one hour practicing his moves:) His coach is "Coach Baron" who I think has taken a liking to my big guy. He works a lot on technique...the approach down the board and how to just jump straight off maintaining a stick-like pose with minimal splash. He has always worked on his dive from the lower board and the 3 meter board (scary) and his back dive. I have been impressed with what he has accomplished in one months time.
