@ConstraintsColl @rossapinder @Duarterbparaujo Ohh, that's a great article!! I would like to have a copy. Thank you so much.
The settings won't let me send them a DM
I got asked the other day "Is there a #swimming coach you'd send your own kids to for #coaching - and why?"
I responded immediately, "The three names that come to mind are Ian Pope Australia, David Marsh USA and Eddie Reese USA".
Why?
1. The kids would be better people for the experience - kinder, selfless, more generous, understand the importance "team", understand the benefits of setting goals and working hard to achieve them, more independent and 100 other things.
2. They'd be given the opportunity to learn to love the experience of the sport - in and out of the water - regardless of their talent.
3. They'd be cared for, nutured, respected and given the environment to be all they choose to be without limits or barriers.
We all get carried away about the importance of heart rate - it's HEART that matters.
We are so overly concerned with counting laps - that we forget it's more important to make every lap count.
We are too focused on getting kids to do what's written on the whiteboard, rather than coaching them to see what's "not" written - what's on the spaces between the lines.
En serio Juan? @SudCoaching, vamos a tener recursos para desarrollar Aprendizajes fuera de la cancha!! Qué bueno!!
Chema @lepetitpan y Stuart @stu_arm se van a emocionar!
Seriously John?, we are going to have resources to develop Learning off the pitch!! Excellent!!

👉It is important for coaches to take into account the learners and the context of the environment they are in
