5️⃣Coaching Notes 📝 for Aerobic Work:

• Aerobic work in swimming is often pushed to maximal efforts,beyond a truly “aerobic state” for the athlete.

• Make most Aerobic work OPTIMAL not maximal. Don’t blur the line. Use other sessions for SPEED.

•The goal is NOT higher peak speed. The goal is maintaining velocity, stroke efficiency, and technical execution while metabolic demand continues to rise & physiological stress accumulates.

🌟 Provide an Indv “exit point” for each athlete based on what they need to perform best!! (Great example in today’s workout)

• Invert the set —> As you get closer to peaking or competition then shift to higher % outputs & less volume.

This is officially the worst take in sports history…

Sitting atop a multi-BILLION dollar Olympic empire built entirely on athletes…
Getting paid ~$317,000 USD in the top position.
AFTER we just watched 42 athletes make $25 MILLION…
All while saying athletes shouldn’t be paid.

No athletes = no Olympics.
No TV deal.
No sponsors.
No revenue.

Every other major sports league on earth understands this.
Every Professional Sports league pays athletes.

Calling athlete compensation
‘wrong for sport’ while athletes generate billions and still need second jobs should NOT be just because of “tradition”.

Be Better.

Creatine has repeatedly been shown to NOT increase dehydration or cramping risk in healthy athletes when hydration/electrolytes are adequate.

bro took creatine & forgot the other ingredient is water 💀…

[ESPN @espn]

Darryn Peterson said a new round of bloodwork and other tests after the season led his doctors to conclude that his use of high doses of creatine led to mysterious and sometimes debilitating cramping.

Great breakdown by @SethDavisHoops well worth the read! 🏀

Changes like these aren’t always easy!

Expanding opportunity.
Increasing financial distribution.
Creating more access for low-major programs can be structural progress.

$2M more to conferences that need it most?
That’s gonna be solid impact.
That’s sustainability.
That’s growth.

We can acknowledge discomfort with change while also recognizing when it creates better long-term outcomes.

We also often get stuck in the trap of thinking we need to always “make people feel better in the moment.”

However, I believe the idea 💡of providing Clarity amongst Confusion is truly what is most valuable & what Seth accomplishes best w/ this article.

Decisions should aim to move the system forward.
If it doesn’t… learn from it & do better the next time!

Progress > comfort

[Seth Davis @SethDavisHoops]

One thing people may not realize is if the reported format change is true, six low-major teams (up from two) will receive a second "unit" payment from the NCAA for getting another game. That's an additional $2 million for conferences that really need it.
