Welp, after a little more time in the pool, banged out 1,000! #1000LapChallenge #LearnSomethingNew #CoachEducation
“The people who eventually work smart are the ones who were willing to work dumb first.”
“Work smarter, not harder” implies there’s a dignified path to competence.
There isn’t.
The path is messy, embarrassing, and littered with mistakes that make you look like you don’t know what you’re doing - because you don’t.
The people who eventually work smart are the ones who were willing to work dumb first. They asked obvious questions. Tried “wrong” approaches.
They looked like beginners because they were beginners and they took the ego hit that comes with that.
That’s the part most people can’t handle. The pain of looking incompetent is the price you pay on the road to excellence.
The better you are at enduring it, the further you go.
Been banging out laps over the last several days. Up to 850. The last 200 laps felt much better, feeling more efficient and have much better rhythm! Followed my latest swim by throwing this NY strip on the grill.
Throwback to Swole Patrol! Get that pump, sleeves optional!

Looking at some old data. I found Eccentric Utilization Ratio (EUR) is a great way to help identify trainings needs.

+50. Changed my lap sequence, knocked these out 2 at a time. Banged out my first 100 yard consecutive swim. Total at 590!

How can #SportsPerformance integrate into sport practice? This was testing we did with @PennBaseball pitchers, researching force plate metric correlations to pitching fatigue.

All coaches should watch. Easy to lose track of what matters most.

Fitness is improving. Same work, lower demand. +50, total at 540. #1000LapChallenge #swimming #learning
+50, 510 to go. Gaining some momentum, swimming fitness is improving! #1000LapChallenge #swimming #coaching
Just listened to @will_ratelle talk about “giant” sets on the @JustFlySports podcast. Love the autonomy this gives athletes. I’ve used cluster sets for years, but this is a creative way to build in high intensity at a high(er) volume.

+50. Total is 390. My focus is on controlling my breathing and being relaxed. 610 to go!
