His first move was radical but necessary:

He slashed government ministries from 18 to 9 (now 8).

Then systematically removed 50,000 government employees.

The establishment called him "El Loco" - The Madman.

But there was method to his madness:

@jacklitt1e @pntrack @SirHerb_the3rd @TFConsortium @max_stoneking @HousetheMouse The key to swimming fast is minimising drag through great technique!

@kevinpickard88 @Propulsion_Swim @kylesockwell @Andyjamesonswim @swimswamnews Some great points Kevin. Most likely way to bring about change is for all the coaches out there (who agree) to be the leaders and drivers of that change. Run your own meets differently. Get on your local county and regional coaching groups and committees. Put new ideas forward.

A talent ID strategy that works...

Keep as many athletes in the sport, as long as possible.

If you increase the number of athletes participating, you likely increase the number at the top end of the bell curve 👇

Good luck to all the Scottish swimmers and teams heading to @BUCSsport Swim Champs in Sheffield this weekend!

@DrSianAllen I suspect most sports federations are probably trying to do all 3 in some shape or form, although not always for the same reasons. But, is there any evidence that any of them are better (at increasing the number of HPs) than the other two?

12/12 Overall, altitude training can be a valuable tool for swimmers and coaches looking to improve training or race performance. Remember to always consult with a coach and health professional before starting though.

[Ian Wright @eyerite]

Several leading Scottish swimmers are currently on high altitude training camps. Here's a thread about why they are doing so: 🧵 1/12

11/12 It's important to recognise that altitude training is not suitable for everyone, always consider any pre-existing health conditions before starting this type of programme. Additionally, some athletes seem to respond better to such altitude training loads than others.
