What do you look for in a good USMS coach? What about him/her do you like that keeps you motivated to come back each time? Or is it more about the team aspect that keeps you coming back? Or what frustrates you about a coach that would want you to go to a different team? I'm really curious as to how diversified people are in what keeps them going back.
I love our Indy Aquatic Master's Coaches!! One thing I notice they ALWAYS do is manage to get around to every single swimmer at each practice and somehow acknowledge their presence. I know that doesn't seem like a huge deal, but it is. Everyone needs a bit of positive interaction each and every day and for some of us on some days this could be it.
Our coaches are also very good at offering up stroke tips, providing motivation during practices, and organize us into lanes where we can all co-exist successfully in workout.
This is just the tip of the iceberg w/our coaches but I'd say it's the little, human touches that make us happy and keep us coming back.
