Every Step Forward Brings Us Closer To Where We Want To Be

Olympic swimmer, Katie Ledecky, is now the most decorated US Woman in Olympic history. She sealed the deal Thursday with a 13^th medal in the Women’s 4×200 meter freestyle relay. They say she has several more opportunities to compete and may well win 2 or 3 more!?!

Amazing.

When asked about the “secret” of her success, here’s how she responded:

I always just focus on what my own goals are, and not what anybody else’s
goals for me are or their expectations. I just know that my family will always
be supporting me and my friends and my coaches. As long as I put in the hard
work and know that I’m giving it my best effort, I will always be happy.

In other words, MaJoVTA members: keep taking those steps (or in Ms. Ledecky’s case … strokes).

We’re at the end of the Summer Term 2024 – next week is the last week of training. We will ‘rest’ for a couple weeks, then restart our Vocal Training regimen the last week of August.

But today I want to ask you to think about the Summer Term:

1) what did you accomplish? and

2) how many ‘steps’ did you take?

From my perspective as your trainer – for many of you, it’s been huge. Here’s what I see:

• Every one of you now sings with better technical skill;
• Every one of you now sings with increased control and greater freedom in your vocal tone.

These are not small accomplishments, and your actions speak *much* louder than any words.

And most importantly to me as your trainer:

• With the website rollout, you more clearly understand the concept of “skill building” – knowing what you need to know, finding that information, then — Just Doing It.

These are amazing accomplishments for each of you. I’m delighted by them and more than a little bit proud of all you’ve done. Thank you.

And thank you, too, for being a part of the MaJoVTA.com community.

Your hard work, dedication and passion to make rigorous Vocal Training a part of your life inspires me every day.

Your willingness to commit  resources of time and money – investing in  yourself to make yourself better – fills me with gratitude. I am truly humbled to know and work with all of you.

So, here’s to one more week of training and to your terrific accomplishments of the Summer Term 2024!
