Practice with Purpose

• Well defined, specific goal (focused)

• Get out of comfort zone – We / our bodies prefer homeostasis

• Requires feedback from experts

• Takes full concentration– So can start with short/sharp work

• “Swimmers usually day-dream during laps… I began to try to feel how your body feels when the stroke is perfect” (Natalie Coughlin)

• Must have desire to get better and believe you can succeed– Social motivation important (surround yourself with supportive people)

• “Excellence is achieved through qualitative differentiation not quantitative increases in activity”

Post-intervention analysis

Hot Topics

• Prioritising a swimmer’s needs over a training cycle

– What come’s first? Physical – Technical – Tactical – Psych

– Organisation of the training week (when do I do weights v skill..)

• Measurement tools / feedback

• Transfer of dry land to water?

• Change in body shape (via S&C or maturation) influence on technique/skill

• Influence of time to refine / build a skill
