Key Things Good Coaches Do by Josh Davis | ASCA Talk #010


Listen Later

 Today's American Swimming Coaches Association talk comes from Olympic gold medalist, Josh Davis.

Josh represented the United States at the 1996 Summer Olympics where he won three gold medals in all three relays. At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, he won two silver medals. He held various American records during his swimming career. He swam for the University of Texas, where he was an NCAA champion and a multiple-time All-American.

After retiring from competitive swimming, he has been involved in various aspects of the swimming community as a motivational speaker, swim clinic leader, and coach, sharing his knowledge and experiences with swimmers of all ages.

In this world clinic talk, Josh shares his insights on the key things that good coaches do. Born and raised in San Antonio, he initially struggled in swimming, but with the help of supportive coaches, he became a successful athlete.

Josh highlights the crucial role that coaches play in shaping the lives of young athletes. They serve as role models, authority figures, and substitute parents for the athletes they work with. As a result, coaches bear a tremendous responsibility. He emphasizes the importance of balance and character in coaching philosophy, which he has experienced firsthand with his long-time coach, Eddie Reese.

Throughout his speech, Josh encourages coaches to find a balance in their approach, maintain their integrity, and be aware of the profound impact they have on their athletes. He also urges athletes to never give up on their dreams or let negativity stand in their way. At the end of the day, the act of giving oneself through coaching can lead to a fulfilling life and lasting impact on those they mentor.
