Does Practice Make Perfect? I just heard a swim coach working with a masters club. She said practice makes perfect. What she was teaching should never be taught. I don't think practice makes perfect, do you?

  • It's all mind body coordination/conditioning. When under stress, the mind is often separated from the body. Repetitive motions help "program" our brain to the prefered responses, like a long reach instead of the strong desire to spin the wheels at all costs to go faster. Tall Paul's turnover in the 50 is about finding the sweet spot and keeping your hand on it all the way through the stroke. Stuff like that doesn't just "happen".
