Write a training session for yourself, coach!
We all write workouts for our athletes. We know the repeats, the drills, the distances, the times. We prepare everything in advance for our swimmers.
But what about YOUR plan?
Add a column to your workout that says: “How I Will Coach.”
So when the swimmers’ workout says “10 x ABC Drill” — yours says “Be energetic. Give individual feedback. Change the speed three times.”
When their workout says “Cool-down and stretch” — yours says “Connect 1:1 with two swimmers. Ask how they’re feeling.”
Plan their workout. Plan YOUR coaching. Then coach WITH them.
What would be on YOUR coaching plan today?
