I'm generally saying that your top ceilihng has way more to do with your willinginess to put in the work than the "talent capability" that you inherently have or don't have. And back to LS- I think he's ultimately now at a point of this swim either working out or it not. I remember working with a D1 runner turned ITU athlete. He had a specific weakness in the swim that I gave him the same workout for 42 straight days and said until he gets this fixed, nothing else mattered. On the 42nd day he texted me "I feel the HE catch now"....and we moved on to other aspects. That was just the reality of where he was and what he needed to do. Atleast with LS he can have "meh" resaults on World class level and still race some B level events to make a living; So maybe he needs that, but luckily non-draft has enough prize purses to where guys can race well in all races outside of championship level events and still make a living.
