Keep them coming Becca. Not too often tho. Let the ideas have time to sink in, ferment and apply.

Distracting

I found this a very interesting video, and I totally agree with it. I don't do this in competition, but in practice, I admit that I do start talking to my teamates when I am on the runway! I'll definetely work on not doing that now! lol

Great advice..... Really great footage!!! There have been many times in competition I have been totally distracted with other things. This is something that coaches don’t really talk about until competitors are in competitions.

We are producing videos of all of Allan's presentations while he is here. They will be available later this summer. There will be some of my ideas, drills and demonstrations also.
