  3. Benefits for Coach Need Characteristics Focused/Deliberate Practice

  4. Professional - Swimmer progress Social Environment - Retain swimmers Financial - New swimmers Benefits for Coach

  5. Technique Improvement

  6. Technique Improvement

  7. Focus on Streamline Cues

  8. Streamline

  9. Streamline Cues • One hand on top of the other • Elbows locked • Upper arms squeezing ears • Looking straight down • Legs straight • Toes pointed • Feet together

  10. Practice Effect

  11. Deliberate Practice Effect Jefferies, et al 2012

  12. Progress Issues • Physiology - Quality vs Quantity

  13. Energy System Contributions

  14. Progress Issues • Physiology - Quality vs Quantity • Skill-learning - Reinforce limitations • Anatomy - Injury potential

  15. Shoulder Anatomy

  16. Ineffective Arm Entry

  17. Time of Exposure

  18. Ineffective Entry

  19. Time of Exposure

  20. Physiology - Quality vs Quantity Skill-learning - Reinforce limitations Anatomy - Injury potential Progress Issues

  21. Deliberate Practice • Clear instructions • Appropriate task difficulty • Sufficient number of repetitions • Immediate feedback • Individualized supervision • Variety of learning strategies • Stay in cognitive and associative stages • Replicate superior performance

  22. Clear Instructions - Model

  23. Clear Instructions - Cues KINESTHETIC VISUAL

  24. Clear Instructions - Images

  25. Clear Instructions - Guidance

  26. Breaststroke Kick

  27. Deliberate Practice • Clear instructions • Appropriate task difficulty

  28. Appropriate Task Difficulty • Course Distance • Stroke Rate • Breathing Frequency

  29. Appropriate Task Difficulty

  30. Appropriate Task Difficulty Slow Stroke Rate for Complex Skill FL, BK, FR - Slow, Continuous Hand Motion BR - Interrupted Stroke Rate

  31. Interrupted Stroke Rate

  32. Nonbreathing

  33. Breathing Frequency Nonbreathing Minimal breathing Breathing every other stroke cycle

  34. Appropriate Task Difficulty Course Distance Stroke Rate Breathing Frequency Fatigue & Recovery Comfort & Attention

  35. Rest Between Reps • Long enough – to recover to avoid fatigue • Short enough – to maintain attention to stay warm

  36. Skill Isolation Drills Swim Drills Deck Drills

  37. Breaststroke Arm Drill

  38. Butterfly Arm Drill

  39. Deck Drills • Relay Take-off Arm Swing • Wall Push-ups • Breaststroke Kick on Deck

  40. Wall Push-Ups

  41. Breaststroke Kick

  42. Cue-Focused Practice KINESTHETIC VISUAL

  43. Cues for Key Positions

  44. Synchronized Cues

  45. Synchronized Cues

  46. Deliberate Practice • Clear instructions • Appropriate task difficulty • Sufficient number of repetitions

  47. Stroke Repetitions • Sufficient Number • Effective Technique • Develop Permanency

  48. Deliberate Practice • Clear instructions • Appropriate task difficulty • Sufficient number of repetitions • Immediate feedback

  49. Immediate Feedback Group Individual

  50. Deliberate Practice • Clear instructions • Appropriate task difficulty • Sufficient number of repetitions • Immediate feedback • Individualized supervision
