Emotional Response in Training & Winning is Not For Everyone

Getting swimmers to comprehend movement skills on land can be seemingly be difficult and intimidating for many swimming coaches. 

As much as we force down set and repetitions, how does that make the swimmer succeed in the big arena with the spotlight on, the crowd cheering and TV cameras live?

Our guest today is coach Raph Ruiz from Tampa, Florida.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How the KAIZEN mindset of constant improvement measured against a rising standard excels athletes.
  • Acquiring and replicating movement skills.
  • How to coach athletes to become independent in elite situations. 
  • How becoming more athletic on land only helps swimmers in the water.
  • How disengaged athletes can crumble team dynamics.
  • The process of building a tolerance to discomfort.
