Technicians, Therapists, and Taskmasters - #162
Episode 162
Monday, 31 March, 2025
In this episode, we’re talking coaching styles—technicians, therapists, and taskmasters—and what it really means to teachsomeone to move better in the water. We dive into a strange-but-effective drill (nips to hips, anyone?), the myth of the “perfect” catch, and why your swimmers might be soaking you on deck during butterfly. There’s also a solid detour into spider crickets, broken fingers, and what happens when you try to watch Inception with your dad. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of coach you are—or if your clients see you as one—you’ll want to listen to this one. Here's the link to funny little drill we talked about: https://youtu.be/0m5CK1joiDk #triathlontraining #triswimcoach #swimmechanics #openwaterswimming #triathletelife #dominiclatella Sponsor 🏊♂️ Big thanks to SwimBox – the real MVP of swim coaching.
