The swimmers who last aren't the ones who were told they were talented. They're the ones who were taught they could grow. New post on redefining talent in swimming. Full resources behind the paywall. 🔗patreon.com/posts/truth-ab…

We hear it all the time: 'She's just talented.' But talent isn't the secret. Consistency, coachability, and resilience are. New blog post breaks down what actually matters, plus exclusive resources for coaches & parents on Patreon. 🔗 patreon.com/posts/truth-ab…

@__CFCWhizz It's Belgium but it's a stretch putting trossard as the striker

Guess the National Team Level: 100% IMPOSSIBLE

@sportsscipod @Scienceofsport I would be fascinated to hear your thoughts on Cam McAvoy and the new world record in 50 free and in particular his approach to training.

@miking330 @SwimNerds I think the discussion around training is excellent & anything that gets coaches talking is to b encouraged. I'm fascinated by Cams training, but we live in a pot noodle generation - quick wins being the driver (not just in swimming) & I worry people look for plug&play solutions

@phill2806 @SwimNerds True—- I have kids who don’t want to sprint, then want to be mid distance and distance swimmers and they get that

It is so interesting to see what coaches are thinking and saying about Cam McEvoy's training and how it should relate to teenagers/age groupers. And you read all the same answers from people about building the base, they need to swim more than 1 event, Cam has a huge base, not every kid is a sprinter, blah blah blah. Not a single coach said, "We have a special group of swimmers that like to sprint and we are doing 100% sprint stuff." IT'S ABOUT KEEPING AGE GROUP SWIMMERS IN THE SPORT! But here's the proof that swimming - at least at the high school level - continues to grind and pound and destroy sprinters - just like we always have.

@SwimNerds @miking330 I have been fortunate enough to coach a European champion on the 50 back and they didnt/don't respond as well to 'cam mcavoy' type work as they do to something more like a traditional 100/200 program. We need to remember we coach people and they all different. Be flexible

@SwimNerds @miking330 For what its worth i coach in a small club program where we focus on good skills and frequency of exposure to trainjng. Those who show an attitude for sprinting get encouraged to swim fast those with an attitude for more distance orientated events get encouraged to do those.

@SwimNerds 1/2 The beautiful thing about our sport (and others I'm sure) is there is no 1 way to get it right. We need to coach the person in front of us. Some will excel at short explosive sprints some will be better at open water.

Age group priorities: 8-10: Body position, comfort on back 11-13: Rotation, entry placement 14-16: Pull efficiency, finish 17+: Race optimization Stop teaching 8-year-olds like they're Olympians.

Day 3 - The Technique Blueprint: Backstroke Engineering. Here's a truth that might sting: Backstroke is the most poorly executed stroke in competitive swimming Not because it's harder. Because coaches don't teach it systematically Here's the framework🧵 patreon.com/posts/why-your…
