#5 - 2nd Virtual Coaches Talk - America (English) - Part 1

#CoachingIsSharing

(April 1st, 2020 - 3:00 p.m. New York Time)

SORRY I DID NOT RECORD THE FIRST TALK (March 27, 2020) but enjoy this second one (April 1, 2020).  This will be the first for the series in English in the podcast that includes mostly swim coaches from the USA, Canada, Europe, Central and South America.

The idea with these talks is to take this time of crisis and being at home without being able to work and share thoughts and ideas about our passion (swimming).  One of my coaches was “Doc” Counsilman when I was a student-athlete at Indian University and he always told me that “COACHING IS SHARING”.  So now more than ever we can do this.

Find some of the topics that some coaches proposed to talk after our first coaches talk:

• (Svetlana) How to manage athletes and raising your children during this time being in quarantine (4 years old and 8 months).
• (D. Porter) team culture; establishing behaviors in age group swimming to promote excellence at the Jr./National level
• (D. Porter) Groups within a Group; using your assistants wisely
• (D. Porter) Dryland; age appropriate activities for the 10 & under, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 17-18. And should girls be a year or two ahead of the boys, or cooperative vs. competitive in nature of activity.
• (D. Porter) Curriculum for the 8 & under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 17-18. And how to move between the groups.
• (Nacho) Season Periodization

Great session and a lot of good thoughts shared, make sure you listen to "Part 2".
