mentoring
You’ve got a coach. You’ve got a squad.
what you haven’t got is everything else.
Success in the pool starts outside of it.
Two kinds of swimmers use this
Success in the water isn’t just about training sessions. It’s shaped by the choices you make every day.
I didn’t make my first international team until I was 24, and that journey taught me something invaluable: performance improves when every area of life is optimised.
Nutrition, sleep, recovery, strength, mobility, mindset.
These have all played a huge role in transforming my racing, far more than adding extra lengths to my sessions ever did.
Mentoring is for swimmers who don’t need a programme written.
You’ve got a coach you trust and sessions you turn up to. What you don’t have is anyone helping with the lifestyle and habits created outside of the water that might be holding you back. I never work over the top of another coach. Your coach runs your training. I help with everything around it, and if it’s useful, I’ll talk to them directly.
For Masters Swimmers In a club
You train with a masters squad 3-4 times a week. The sessions are decent, the company is good, and you have no intention of leaving. But the squad training is written for 25 people at once, and nobody in the pool is thinking specifically about your 100m fly in April.
So the questions pile up and nobody answers them. How do I taper around a full-time job? What do I actually eat before an evening heat? My shoulder hurts on Thursdays - is that a problem or just Thursday? Should I be doing weights, and if so, what? I’ve got three races over two days and no idea how to warm up for the second one.
Sound familiar?
That’s what mentoring is for. Not a programme. Someone in your corner who has done this at the highest level, who is still doing it, and will answer the questions the same day you ask it.
