Jensen overcame some significant anxiety about swimming in a meet this past Tuesday night. On Saturday, at an exhibition meet, she wanted no part in swimming as she doesn't enjoy eyeballs centered on her (lots of tears). She seems to love practice but doesn't like the attention of a meet. After several discussions and some sweet encouragement from friends, Jensen swam her assigned events on Tuesday and seemed to enjoy it more and more as the meet went on. In the car on the way home (at 10:45 PM!!...long swim meet), she was talking about wanting to ask her coach to swim in an event next Tuesday that she wasn't assigned to this week. We think that's a good sign!
