Kylie Masse Learned How to Have Patience with Herself in the Face of Inconsistency

2023 PRO SWIM SERIES – KNOXVILLE

Kylie Masse started her meet in Knoxville with a Pro Swim Series record, touching for the win in the 50 back in 27.38. The Canadian backstroke was pleased with this result, having had an inconsistent fall training-wise that was full of travel and competition. Masse learned how to manage her expectations of herself and her performances in a period like this while also getting to know how to recreate routines that help give her a sense of groundedness.

She is a great athlete. Her “inconsistent” season was marked by a consistency only few athletes can match.

She is such a “class act” and a model for others. Hope she sticks around for a long time yet!

She is an exceptional leader on the 🇨🇦 team and embodies the term ‘professional’ in every sense inside the sport. One of the most consistent event swimmers of all time with podiums in the 100 Backstroke at every international meet from 2016 thru just missing the SC podium in Dec.
We need to appreciate her while we can, if Paris is ‘it’ her legacy is long cemented. If she continues after that then awesome for us fans …

Had the pleasure to officiate a duel meet she was in, Kylie lead the Blues in both her words and by example.
Chapeau Kylie.
