Didn't see a thread so I thought I'd start one.
Its been fantastic on the ASCA I & II side of things . All the coaches are a wealth of knowledge and brings their own ideas. Scott has a rolling with his jokes and "Scottism's!". Dr. G had us all hanging on every word and video of stroke analysis.....who woulda know Michael Phelps isn't actually perfect in the water?! Mel is great on the business end of things. I'm SO glad I'm attending and would recommend it to everyone, regardless of whether you coach or not.
I just wish it was a week long camp and we all got to swim together, critique each other, share more war stories, and have time for some fun!!:applaud::applaud:
To Rob Copeland and crew, Great job!:applaud: I had a fantastic time and took away a lot more than just 3 things.
ElaineK it was great to meet you and chat a bit. You as nice a person as I imagined! Thanks for introducing me to Want2befish. It's always great to put a face to a Formite name.
I have to agree with Wookie, the PT guys had the best presentation.
I also think more water time would have been more beneficial, but the swim video was the best for me personally because I have been without a coach for so long. Great advice for my free and I know the coach critiquing my *** stroke wanted to say, "just don't" but was too professional for that and gave some tips to work.:afraid:
Thanks again it was a great event!!!:banana:
Great meeting you, too, 'Slow! Thank you!! Thanks for introducing yourself; I never would have figured it out from your photo. :D
I agree with you on the video portion of our session. I was fortunate to have Cokie Lepinski, Queen Frog (Sorry, Carol Stark!), as my coach-of-the-session, and my part-time coach, Mike, running the playback. So, Mike was able to listen in on Cokie's comments; very validating to him on his coaching skills, because he was the first person to ever coach me on breaststroke (I was previously self-taught). On my second breaststroke 25, Cokie gave me a high-five and yelled, "That's it!", for riding the glide more. She also said I had a good kick, and, later, said, "You have a beautiful breaststroke." :bliss:That made my day! (Now, if I can just go faster AND keep my stroke count down- and keep it that way for a full 200... :frustrated: )
