Ultra Short Training Rushall

Quick? I've been bugged by his theories and often ending up defending them since 2004. I was just waiting for a clear, clear example of his incompetency. 2bk vs 4bk, over 60 laps of the pool is one clear example, irrefutable. I couldn't find an irrefutable example in his crappy paper on institutionalized over training. Some in this thread have raised to my attention that he's been consistent in questioning the importance of drilling! (I learned about it here in this thread). But again there, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. But again, 2b vs 4bk, that's a Level 1 beginner coach mistake! You can't find any more basic mistake than not being able to count up to 4. At one point, it's time to pull the plug. Here's a post made by a *swimmer* not a coach, in his 50s, having began swimming no more than 2 years ago. www.swimsmoothforum.com/viewtopic.php How can a not certified person, enthusiast, 2min / 100m swimmer can clearly see it, and Rushall, phd, miss it? www.swimsmoothforum.com/viewtopic.php I'll try to find him, send him the link to this particular thread, and see if he agrees for a 3 round against a coach that did not even study science. We'll see... *edit* Done, email sent. I wouldn't be surprised if he declines that invitation.
