Managing & Developing Elite Level Division 1 SEC Collegiate Swimmers

"How can we use caution in our program design, yet move with urgency? Because conference and NCAA Championships are not waiting for no one."

With coach Greg Adamson from the University of Tennessee, we discuss:

  • The importance of the coach-athlete relationship. Are swimmers fragile or are they loaded incorrectly? 
  • How volume management and post-activation potentiation (PAP) has helped excel results. 
  • The importance in making swimmers feel the difference between different training cycles and velocities. 
  • Power movements for swimming: how to get them to jump higher and the important correlation to speed in the water.  Micro-dosing training during taper time. 
  • How the Vols use the WHOOP system and heart rate variability (HRV) to manage athletes and their training.
