Starting Attitudes

Maurice: What should my child be thinking as he stands at the edge of the pool awaiting the starting horn to begin his race?

Answerman: Each of the Answer Children practices a different method of mental motivation. One child thinks positive, optimistic, semi- agressive thoughts. The other sums up her preparation routine thusly, " I think of nothing."

Ted: Baseball is known as "The Thinking Man's Sport". How do you regard swimming?

Answerman: Again I defer to one of the Answer Children, "What's to think about? You dive in go as fast as you can and get out."
