New Year’s Eve: Making adjustments to swim tools for the first session of the year. As we head into a new year I’ve been asked about my ‘New Year’s Resolutions’. Unfortunately I’m a bit of a grinch on this subject and I’ll explain why: As a young, inquisitive fellow, I once asked legendary Australian swim coach, Don Talbot, what his resolutions were to receive the following response: “Son, anybody who has the luxury of saying this year ‘I’m going to do this or do that’ has be

One of the biggest mistakes we continue to see, from age-group athletes to professionals, is the rush to begin the next repetition before the prescribed recovery is complete. Five seconds on the swim clock becomes two. Fifteen seconds becomes five. A one-minute run recovery becomes forty seconds. It feels tougher. It feels productive. It feels like you're getting ahead. In reality, you're becoming a Time Bandit.

When I look at giving coaching advice, from the very outset I depart from normal coaching procedure. I believe one should give advice that can be useful in a practical sort of way, that athletes (and coaches) can sit and think and reflect on what I'm saying with regards to oneself, one's situation, and circumstances. It makes no sense to me, to see people listening to a long comprehensive lecture about the theory on any fundamentals of triathlon, when the individual doesn’t g
