I'm coach of the year!
Quote | Reply
One of the guys at masters swimming, we'll call him "S", had really shitty turns. I'd gain about a metre off every wall on him. At the last meet, he wanted to break 5:00 for the 400 for the first time as a masters swimmer, so I offered to help.

My help consisted of "Yo, S, your turns suck".

"what should I do differently?"

"Suck less"

"OK"

and repeat, every day for a month....

At provincial champs last week, he didn't lose anything to me on the walls, and was even beating me off the walls on occasion.

I might write a book on coaching.

At least do a pamphlet - or maybe a bookmark!

Suck less is always good advice in triathlon.

it should help him swim with faster people in the pool. If he doesn't lose 1-2 seconds on turns then he can maybe swim with a faster lane and that will help him swim faster in triathlons.

Well, my coaching paradigm applies to triathlons too.

"I suck at sighting"

"Suck less"

"OK"

See how universal it is?

Am I the only one bothered by the lack of episode/ season consistency here? I'm glad you guys are working as a team but...

... Teamwork is overrated...

Tell her to watch the instructional video on 'grape-fruiting' over in the Lavender Room.
