Ande's virtual coaching

Curious about how many people used Ande's virtual coaching for Nationals, and which tips helped most. This could also be known as isobel's cliff notes for Ande's swimming tips. Muchas gracias.

  • hey guys, I'm happy to help out, everyone can swim faster faster. I've had the good fortune of being at UT since 1977, I've trained for many great coaches, I've trained with and watched many great swimmers. Here's the Swim Faster Faster Index (which I need to update again) There's my old Ande's Swimming Blog Where you can follow every practice and meet between March 2005 - Sept 2008 Follow Sep 2007 - June 2008 is where I did the work that helped me break my first WR. blog from Sept 08 - Jan 09 Current Blog Jan 09 on There's Ask Ande folks can also call me when I'm driving home. usually 4:00 - 5:00ish central 4:45 - 5:30 ish today there's: Help! My Flutter Kick is Horrible! Training Plan Help! My SDK is Horrible! Help My Speed is Horrible! I do in person swim faster faster sessions, where I watch a swimmer swim and offer specific suggestions. Sometimes what you think you need to do and what you really need to do can be way different. There's quick fixes and slow fixes. Most people can greatly benefit from: Mind techniques, goals, plans, reasons, action, IPS/psych, ACTING AS IF ... Proper swimming technique, & Getting stronger. Everyone benefits from training harder, longer, smarter, more times a week, on a team with fast teammates & a great coach. Some people have splitting issues. I think it's cool that I've been able to offer folks suggestions that really helped them swim faster faster without ever meeting them or watching them swim, it's rewarding. Many people make technique mistakes. Some need an accountability partner. It begins with desire and belief. I'm a big fan of ACTING AS IF you already were what you most want to be. I hope this helps you swim faster faster, it's deeply saticefying when I achieve a hard won goal and when I help others do the same. Let yourself be great. I've been working on a song that says "if I ever get to heaven I don't want to meet who I could have been." Become the best you that you can be now. It's never easy, it will take work. The book "Outliers" suggests if you want to become great at something spend 10,000 hours working hard to improve.
