GoSwim GoldThe MOST Important Aspect of Swimming
0 commentsIn the process of making swim videos, I spend a lot of time thinking about what is THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of swimming. My conclusion?
10/31/03 HALLOWEEN PRACTICE!!!
If you’re looking for a spooky Halloween practice, try the one below. It was sent to us by Reg Kramer of the Wooster, OH Masters Swim team. Could he be Coach Black??????
Week #8: Slam Dunk
This past summer, Argentina pulled off one of the biggest upsets in international competition history and proved that style ain't everything. The basketball game was a huge mismatch on paper.
State-of-the-Shoulders Address
As you can imagine, I’ve had some great one-liners in my years of swimming. One of my favorite and most unappreciated was this:
Luck Will Have Nothing To Do With It
I’ll start by saying I’m not a huge baseball fan. My favorite sport is Formula 1 auto racing, and the season ended last week with Michael Schumacher winning his 6th World Championship. But I might have to rethink my attitude toward baseball.
Week #7: Give Me a Break
We have been training eight times a week, in addition to a weight session on Tuesday and Thursday, with no breaks. The fatigue has really started to show in the pool.
What Kind of Kick Should I Use?
Last week we posted an article by distance swimmer Don Walsh, and I've received a few e-mail questions about Don’s kick. How does he go so far without kicking?
Week #6: Theory Z of Coaching
This week I have been reading Dave Denniston's tips on writing the perfect practice. Dave has incredibly insightful suggestions that can help to make practice more engaging to the athletes.
