This will be my third year coaching for Delhi swim team as you should all know by now if you have been reading my blogs. I want to try to make a few changes in the way that I will be coaching this year. When you are a coach of younger children, I’ve learned that you have to take your approaches a little bit different than, say if you were coaching older children. I find myself relating events or even using cartoons or funny stories that I know they like to get their attention.
Some of the changes I want to make this year in my coaching style is to have more weekly “swimmers of the week” to help motivate younger kids by showing that hard work does pay off in the long run. Yes, it may be summer time and you don’t want to get up for those early practices. Who really enjoys that? But I want to recognize the ones who are working hard, paying attention, coming to practices, show team work and start to see that practice really does help them get better.
