I personally never do drills that focus on a part of a full stroke, such as kicking alone, or one-hand stroke, etc. etc. If I want to correct/improve a certain aspect of the stroke, I do so in full stroke. How many out there share my opinion that separate drills are unnecessary, or even not helpful?
I agree with ddl. I don't believe in drills. I believe in whole stroke and while doing the entire stroke, concentrate on say hip rotation or high elbow or whatever. I have never raced doing a finger tip drill or zipper drill. I taught physical education for many years and always tried to teach the entire movement rather than disjointed parts.
That said, I participate in the drills the coach gives if for no other reason than it breaks up the workout.:D
