you can hold it for a long
time and not get tired.
You're tired, but you're
not gonna slow down.
SLOW DOWN?
NOT FOR HAYLEY..

Pike: Touching that wall
after a two hour race and
realizing that I made it was
just overwhelming joy and
relief that all that work
not even just after that two
hour race , but all of the
preparation that we had to
go through to get ready for
that meet was worth it.

OLYMPIC TRIALS THIS

ethic is unrivaled.
is unrivaled. Working with
an athlete like Hayley
definitely makes me a
better coach.
AND MAKES THOSE AROUND HER
BETTER, TOO..
Gole: For everybody else to
be in the water with her
everyday, it definitely
raises the bar.  Raises the
level of competition.
Gole: When she has a goal,
like its tangible and its
concrete and she knows she
wants to get it, she's gonna
do everything she can to get
it.

GOALS..
JUST ONE OF WHICH--- TO
