I’ve always believed that a swimmer-coach relationship is an equal partnership. So, my coaching philosophy is to encourage my swimmers to work with me instead of for me. A partnership will ensure that we both reach the best possible versions of ourselves as swimmers, coaches, and people. I also put a hefty emphasis on being competitive in whatever we do. I think there’s a lot of value in applying the will to win and the will to succeed in everything they do in their lives. Because if you are internally motivated to win each and every day and you are constantly striving to be the best possible version of yourself, then you’re going to be successful in whatever you do. And last but absolutely not least, I want our swimmers to ENJOY the sport of swimming.
