Bill Sprague has joined the Sienna Plantation Aquatics
(SPA) staff. Bill brings over 20 years of coaching experience to

coaching twice by naming him Age Group Coach of the Year. He has
the ability to coach swimmers of all levels and motivates them to
achieve their goals. He has produced swimmers that have achieved

“My philosophy is to
strive to instill in our athletes an understanding of and
appreciation for such concepts as high self esteem, personal
accountability, constructive self motivation, goal setting, and
goal achievement as these ideas relate to their success in training
and competition. It is my belief that the process of achieving is
as significant as realizing the achievement itself. “Life is
a journey, not a destination”.
At each level of my program,
athletes are guided to strive for excellence. Excellence in this
sense represents the achievement of that level at which you know
that you have done your utmost to become the best you are capable
of becoming. This philosophy is consistent throughout my
program.”
