[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the NCAP hate? It’s not our club, but it seems a little over the top?[/quote]
Honestly, because they are good and so the parents of the kids at mediocre clubs are bitter. [/quote]

It’s kind of a tell when a poster ends their post hating on NCAP saying something like it’s too high pressure for my swimmer, but it works for some people. :roll: [/quote]

I wasn't the PP, and I don't hate NCAP-- but where I do get frustrated with the team on occasion is when people start chest-thumping and claiming NCAP itself is creating all these fantastic athletes. If you look at all the points scorers from last weekend at least half on the girls' side were swimming (and swimming well) for other teams at 12, 13, or even 14+. They are a superteam because they draw talent from other teams-- and that's fine, but own that.[/quote]
Here’s the thing, if you have a kid who is an exceptional athlete and they have chosen swim as their preferred sport, there are only a few clubs that can help them maximize that. I would not say the original club made that kid a great swimmer, their athleticism determined that. But a club like NCAP, RMSC, Machine can maximize that potential with the level of training and the training cohort available. An exceptional swimmer who started at a mediocre club cannot reach their maximum potential risk if they are not training with a competitive cohort. [/quote]
PP here, I don’t know how the word risk got in there.[/quote]
