Technicians, Therapists, and Taskmasters - #162

Mon, 31 Mar 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

Is Your Stroke Lying To You? - #161

Mon, 24 Mar 2025

In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s really going on with your arm recovery—and spoiler: your hand isn’t the problem. We dig into body awareness, core connection, and why your stroke might be falling apart the second you stop thinking about it. There’s talk of Pilates (yes, seriously), the myth of the “perfect recovery,” and how to stop swimming like a disconnected spaghetti noodle.
