"It's important in reading and making our own sense out of such a text to better understand who Brent Rushall is.
His texts aren't always easy to accept among coaches, because he's been consistent over the decades in questioning how *we* (since I'm a coach) train our swimmers. And he's right I believe. As time goes by, stuff he's written a long time ago hasn't made as much sense as it does now.
. . .
My opinion (which is worth nothing compared to Rushall's) is that they're still a need to fully train the anaerobic capacity.
On a more philosophical note, I don't think US swimming world needs Rushall as much as the Canadian swimming world does."
Today:
"No but seriously, he really lost all his credibility now, as far as I'm concerned.
. . .
How can you could claim yourself a *scientist* poluting the web with your works full of flaws, and miss such a crucial aspect of his performance, especially that you have 60 lengths of the pool to notice it!!! And yet, you take a position in regards to drills or swim technique in general? Come on.... Swimming is too complex for you I believe.... First learn, then teach!"
“He keeps questioning our works, our relevance, our ability to apply evidence based practices, he can't even count up to 4. So put yourself in my shoes...”

Quite a turnaround!
