Episode 22 - Spectators? For Swimming?

World Champs are starting soon, but I don't know if I'll watch all of it. I think watching 12 & under Champs was more exciting...am I alone in that sentiment? How do we make all swimming more exciting for all spectators? Coaches, athletes, and parents alone can't make the sport the extremely popular, televised extravaganza we all know it should be, so what can we do to bring in outsiders?

Episode 21 - The Inner Ear

The inner ear is responsible for our sense of balance, and that's what we're discussing this week. Last year at this time I talked about June Syndrome, and I'm realizing that June Syndrome for coaches often equates to burnout. I'm exhausted, and I need to regroup and re-energize.

Episode 20 - I'm Back

I've been on hiatus. The last five months were a lot to handle, and the podcast took a backseat. But now I'm back, I'm motivated, and I'm ready to dive back in (to sitting in my computer chair and talking about swimming).

Let's talk about practice planning a bit, because why not? There's a lot of overlooked science behind planning the ideal practice, here I'll lay it out for you.

Episode 17 - Take Pride

I want to briefly discuss two different scenarios I found myself faced with recently, both of which caused me to think more critically about the ways I take pride in my profession as a coach. Hopefully you can relate in some way to what I'm trying to say.

Episode 15 - Guessing Weird Drill Names

I took to Facebook to find the weirdest drill names that coaches have in their arsenal, and I tried to guess what the drills were! We've got some very strange ones in here...

Thanks to everyone who submitted a weird drill name! Please let me know if I guessed right, and if I didn't, share the knowledge and let me know what the actual drill is!
