Tuesday, University of Michigan

It was real neat learning day for me yesterday. We met and evaluated the last four years of the dryland program. We paid particular attention as to how it correlated with in the water training. It is neat to work with a guy like Jim Richardson whose training is principle based. We are working on evaluating the elements of the program, what needs to be reinforced, what needs to be changed and what needs to be added. Once again it comes down to need to do, nice to do and want to do. These kind of long term working relationship are what I live for. It is a creative problem solving process with the goal to keep the swimmer healthy and swimming fast.
