On today's show we take a look at the new Apple CarPlay Ultra. And with the high cost of streaming these days, we give you our pick for the one streaming service that you should keep. We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: Fox Is Buying Roku in $22 Billion Deal Gemini can now adjust your picture settings on Google TV Blink Just Launched Its First Doorbell With 2K Video — And It's Only $50 AWOL Vision Expands Home Entertainment Portfolio Apple's New CarPlay Ultra A listener sent us a link to: I tried Apple CarPlay Ultra and now everything else feels outdated. The author felt that CarPlay Ultra just made every other in-car system feel clunky – and after testing it in an Aston Martin DBX, I don't want to drive without it. So why is he so excited about this update? Main Takeaways from the Article: CarPlay Ultra is a full dashboard takeover: Unlike standard CarPlay (which only handles the central screen), this next-gen version extends seamlessly across all screens — including the instrument cluster, driver display, and center infotainment. It creates one unified, cohesive Apple-style interface for the entire driving experience. New design and customization with brand personality preserved: Tested in an Aston Martin DBX, it delivers crisp fonts, smooth performance, glanceable widgets (music, navigation, tire pressure, etc.), and deep customization. Aston Martin added brand-specific touches (e.g., custom dials with the wings logo, green colorway, and vehicle bird's-eye view) while keeping Apple's polish. Complete vehicle controls inside one UI: You can adjust climate, suspension, driver assists, drive modes, fuel/range info, radio, and more without switching to the car's native system. A clever "punch through" feature seamlessly jumps to the manufacturer's menus for unsupported controls (like ambient lighting) and returns instantly. Highly intuitive and responsive: Steering wheel controls let you swipe between views hands-free. Everything feels fast with zero lag, making it feel like a natural extension of the car rather than a bolted-on phone interface. Safety net if phone disconnects: Core driving info (speedo, critical gauges) runs locally and stays active. Navigation/media/apps resume seamlessly upon reconnection. Availability and future rollout: Currently live on high-end Aston Martins (with over-the-air or dealer updates for compatible models like DBX/DB12). More brands (Porsche, Mercedes, Polestar, and eventually affordable ones) are coming soon. Overall verdict: The reviewer says it makes every other in-car system (including their own Android Auto) feel clunky and outdated. It's not just visual — it fundamentally improves the driving experience, and they "never want to drive without it again." Netflix: The Best Single Streaming Service to Keep in 2026 With so many streamers out there costing us hundreds a year it has become expensive to watch TV. We asked ourselves, "If we had to pick only one streamer which one would it be?" And that streamer is - Netflix Why Netflix Wins for Most People Biggest variety and library — Massive catalog of originals (hit shows like Stranger Things, Bridgerton, Wednesday, etc.), licensed movies/TV, international content, documentaries, and new releases. It has something for almost every taste and mood. Excellent discovery tools — Strong recommendation algorithm that gets better the more you watch, making it easy to find what you'll like without wasting time. Reliable and polished — Simple, fast interface that works great on any device (smart TVs, phones, tablets, streaming sticks, etc.). Consistent quality and frequent new content. Other strong contenders fall short in our "one service only" scenario: Disney+ — Fantastic for families, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar — but narrower overall appeal. Prime Video — Great value if you already shop on Amazon (and it comes with Prime perks), but the core streaming library feels less essential alone. HBO Max — Strong prestige dramas and movies, but smaller overall selection. Apple TV+ — Highest production quality per show, but much smaller library. Bottom line: Netflix gives you the broadest entertainment bang for your buck and the least chance of getting bored quickly. It's the safest "one and done" choice for a general audience in 2026.

We didn't mean to. No one ever plans to hand over a device that fuels late-night anxiety, comparison, and isolation. Yet, we look around our homes and realize a digital firehose is pouring straight into our souls. This Father's Day weekend, Pastor Tom continues our series, with a timely look at the spiritual battle inside our pockets. Drawing from a powerful, real-life moment of courage from a 7-year-old boy named Witten at a service this week in O'Fallon, IL, this message is a direct rallying cry for our church—and specifically for men—to stand guard over our homes. The enemy doesn't need to kick down your front door anymore; he just needs a Wi-Fi signal. It's time to talk back to the digital GPS of this world, break the silence, and protect the gates of our lives.

Officer Jason Meade Trial Explained: Murder Charge, Reckless Homicide, and Legal NuancesLawyer Talk: Off the Record, On the AirSteve Palmer explains the nationally recognized officer-involved shooting of 2020, focusing on Officer Jason Meade of the Franklin County Sheriff's Department. Steering clear of politics, he dissects the legal mechanics and implications of the trial outcomes, a story that's got everyone talking.Key Takeaways:Charges at a Glance: Officer Meade faced murder and reckless homicide charges related to a police shooting. The trial resulted in a hung jury for the murder charge and a conviction for reckless homicide 03:00.Why the Jury Was Hung: After initial deadlock, the judge delivered the “dynamite charge” (also known as the Allen or Howard charge in Ohio), urging jurors to reconsider and reach a verdict 01:40. Even with this, there was no unanimous verdict for murder.Understanding Reckless Homicide: Steve explains reckless homicide in Ohio: acting with ‘heedless indifference to the consequences'—a notch above negligence, but not quite intentional killing 04:00.The Sentencing Process: After conviction, Officer Meade was immediately incarcerated pending sentencing (maximum five years possible) 06:27. The judge will order a pre-sentence investigation before final decisions are made 07:39.Behind-the-Scenes Decisions: Is there room for a plea or deal to resolve the remaining murder charge? Steve discusses the likely negotiations and the weighing of public, political, and resource concerns 08:01.The Legal NuanceSteve emphasizes how instructions like the "dynamite charge" and the statutory definitions of recklessness can tip the scales in high-stakes trials. Though the procedures are standard, national attention means every step is scrutinized 06:55.What Happens Next?Will Meade serve prison time, or could he be eligible for probation (“community control” in Ohio)? And will the prosecutor retry the murder charge?

Andrew Bayliss recounts how Pericles provoked the Peloponnesian War by steering Athens toward confrontation with Sparta. He details the Athenian strategy of retreating behind city walls and relying on naval imports, a move that tragically facilitated a devastating plague, claiming thousands of lives, including Pericles himself.1880 ATHENS

Winter punched me in the face this week, and it got me thinking about all the things that influence who we are, how we feel, and how we show up. In this solo riff, I unpack the sneaky invisible shit steering the ship... from food, movement, recovery, stress, and hormones, through to the people we spend time with, the information we consume, and the environments we put ourselves in. I share why winter and perimenopause have forced me to get a lot more deliberate about my energy, why a yoga class reminded me how noisy life has become, and why cleaning up your social media feed might be one of the most underrated mental health strategies going around. I also dive into tribe, belonging, accountability, novelty, and why sometimes the fastest way to change your mood, mindset, or momentum is simply to change what you're exposing yourself to. Turns out, we might not control everything that influences us... but we can absolutely influence the things that influence us.

Four-wheel steering sounds like magic the first time you feel it. One moment you're guiding a big SUV through a tight parking lot, the next it feels weirdly nimble, like the vehicle shrank around you. We dig into what all-wheel steering (AWS) actually does, when the rear wheels turn opposite the fronts, when they turn in parallel for stability, and why modern drive-by-wire control brings both benefits and new worries. We also get honest about the parts nobody puts in the brochure: added weight, extra complexity, and the kind of repair bills that can make you regret checking that option box.Then we switch gears to something that's pure fun per mile: go-karting around the Houston area. We share spots that go beyond the big indoor chains, from old-school outdoor tracks with personality to tighter neighborhood layouts that keep races close. If you want to level up, we talk about places that lean into motorsports culture with league racing, coaching, and a path to getting genuinely faster, not just louder.We also hit “This Week in Auto History,” connecting today's tech to the roots of the hobby: the first Indianapolis 500, the Marmon Wasp, the debut of early diesel passenger cars, and designs like the Chrysler Airflow that were bold enough to be misunderstood. Finally, we close with a real-world 2025 Land Rover Range Rover review, including what we love about the fit and finish and what we still can't stand, especially start-stop.

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   Walter Magnuson is the Executive Director of Winchester Mystery House. With a background that includes guest-facing leadership roles at The Walt Disney Company and experience in hospitality, entertainment, and operations, Walter brings a blend of historical stewardship and modern attraction management to one of the most recognizable historic properties in the United States. Throughout the conversation, he shares insights into preserving the legacy of Sarah Winchester while continuing to evolve the guest experience for modern audiences. In this interview, Walter talks about legends and lore, steering the passion, and providing reassurance. Legends and lore “And the legends and lore of the story is that she sought out a medium… and the medium advised that all the karma is cursing you.” Walter explains how the story of Sarah Winchester continues to fascinate guests more than a century after her passing. He walks through the origins of the home, from Sarah's personal tragedies and the rise of spiritualism in the late 1800s to the unusual architectural features that still define the estate today. The house's winding hallways, stairs leading nowhere, and sealed-off rooms have fueled decades of speculation and intrigue, helping transform the property into a globally recognized attraction. At the same time, Walter emphasizes that the attraction is not solely about ghost stories. The team continues uncovering new historical details about Sarah Winchester's philanthropy, business acumen, and influence during a time when few women held similar power or independence. By balancing the paranormal appeal with deeper historical storytelling, Winchester Mystery House continues to evolve while still honoring the myths and mysteries that first captured public attention. Steering the passion “I think it's really trying to steer that passion in the direction that is most beneficial for us and for the guest experience.” Walter speaks candidly about leading a team of “caretakers” who feel personally connected to the house and its history. Rather than referring to employees as staff members, the organization embraces the idea that everyone is collectively responsible for preserving and sharing Sarah Winchester's legacy. Walter explains that many team members feel deeply protective of the property, sometimes even hesitant to expose certain areas of the house to guests out of fear of damage or overuse. His leadership approach focuses on channeling that passion toward guest-centric thinking. By opening previously restricted spaces, enhancing storytelling, and modernizing parts of the experience, Walter has worked to shift the internal culture toward accessibility and hospitality while still respecting the home's historical significance. He also discusses the realities of operating a privately owned historic attraction, reminding the team that ticket revenue directly funds restoration efforts and keeps the property relevant for future generations. Providing reassurance “It's not escapism and it's not fantasy. It's reassurance.” Walter reflects on lessons he learned during his time at Disney, specifically the philosophy shared by legendary Imagineer John Hench. Walter explains that great attractions do more than entertain. They reassure guests that the world is meaningful, welcoming, and worth exploring. He connects that philosophy directly to Winchester Mystery House and other historic attractions that create emotional experiences capable of inspiring guests long after they leave. Walter also applies this mindset to leadership and organizational culture. Whether discussing neighborhood development around the property or guiding employees through operational change, he consistently emphasizes optimism, communication, and perspective. For him, attractions are not just places people visit. They are places where people reconnect with history, imagination, and each other. That sense of reassurance, he believes, is what makes experiences truly memorable and enduring.   Walter can be reached on LinkedIn, as well as by email at walter@winchestermysteryhouse.com.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Have you ever hired someone to free up your time and found yourself working more hours than before? Have you hit a point where your reputation for quality is actually the thing keeping you stuck in every project? Today's featured guest and his wife have been building their agency for over 22 years. For most of that time, the business ran on referrals, no defined niche, and two founders doing most of the work. Six years ago, they got serious about building a real team. In this episode, he talks honestly about what that transition looked like, why his technical strengths became a liability as the agency grew, how a lack of sales infrastructure was quietly making their delivery problems worse, and what the shift to actually picking clients has done for their operations. Olivier Bridgeman is the co-founder of Bridge Media, a marketing and web agency serving businesses in residential construction, renovation, and maintenance—recognized as the builders of credibility. Although it has been operating for over two decades, Olivier and his wife made the decision to build a real team and install the infrastructure that would let the business grow beyond them just six years ago. The agency now has 11 people, and Olivier is in the process of evolving out of the operator role and into something closer to CEO, working through the mindset and structural challenges that come with that shift. In this episode, we'll discuss: The expected cost of adding more people When your biggest strength turns you into a bottleneck Fixing sales to fix the delivery problem Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Herringbone Digital: If you're thinking about exiting now, planning a few years ahead, or just want to understand your options, you should know about Herringbone Digital. They're not a typical financial buyer. They're operators who actually understand what it takes to build and scale an agency because they've done it themselves. Their approach is simple: invest in great founders, protect what's already working, and help agencies scale faster. Go to https://www.herringbonedigital.com/swenk and start the conversation. Why Adding People Made the Work Harder Before It Got Easier After years of being the sole force behind the business, the motivation to build a team was simple: bring on people, hand off work, and get time back. The reality was that the first hires created more work, not less. Olivier and his wife had to deliver their own work, review and redo the team's work before it went to clients, manage schedules, clarify responsibilities, and absorb the cost of onboarding, all at the same time. This is the Manager stage in full effect, and it is the stage where most founders assume something is broken when it is actually just the expected cost of the transition. What Olivier describes is exactly what makes this stage so difficult: you used to know what you were doing every afternoon. Now you have to manage your own calendar and everyone else's. The invisible work of managing people, training them, setting expectations, and maintaining quality does not show up on any timesheet. It just accumulates. The goal is to move through this stage quickly, not to stay in it and hire more people on top of it. When Your Biggest Strength Becomes the Bottleneck Olivier's programming ability, which was his edge at the start, became a trap as the team grew. When you are the best technical person in the room and there is a problem in front of you, the reflex is to fix it. It is faster. It is cleaner. And it quietly signals to the team that you do not trust them to solve it themselves. The pattern is common across founders who built their agencies around a specific skill. The capability that created the business eventually becomes the reason the founder cannot leave it. Every time Olivier jumped in to fix something, he was reinforcing the team's dependency on him rather than building their ability to handle it independently. The structural answer is not to stop caring about quality. It is to raise the standard through coaching and systems rather than through personal intervention. The goal is a team that can hit 80 percent of what you would have done, on their own, then coach them to 82, then 85. Perfection is not the benchmark. Capability without you is. What Fixing Sales Did to Their Delivery Problem For most of Bridge Media's existence, new business came through referrals and local relationships. That felt safe. Working some local events and being known within their market was enough for a while. In practice, it meant every client was different, every project required a different set of skills, and the team was constantly starting from scratch. The founders had to stay deeply involved because the work never became repeatable enough for anyone else to own it. Two years ago, Olivier and his wife made a deliberate shift toward building an actual sales function. The downstream effect was not just more leads. It was better client fit, more predictable project types, and a team that could finally develop real expertise in a consistent area of work. When you build a pipeline, you get the ability to be selective. When you are selective, you take on clients your team can actually serve without the founders embedded in every deliverable. Referral dependency does not just create revenue risk. It creates a structural trap that keeps founders in the operator seat far longer than necessary. The Mindset Shift That Has to Happen Before the Role Can Change Olivier knows he needs to step back, and it is still hard. Not because the systems are not there, but because the identity is hard to separate from the work. When you have spent years building a culture of teamwork and being present for the team, stepping into a more removed role can feel like abandonment, both to the team and to yourself. The reframe that matters here is not about working less. It is about what the business actually needs from you at each stage. You may think that your biggest contribution to the agency is your time, but at the CEO level your job is: Setting the vision Communicating it consistently Coaching the leadership layer Protecting the culture through behavior rather than through presence Steering direction That work is roughly 20 hours a week when done correctly. The challenge is that most founders do not believe that until they have experienced it, and the discomfort of having fewer hours filled pushes them back into the operator role they just worked hard to leave. Recognizing the rubber band effect for what it is, significance-seeking disguised as contribution, is what makes it possible to stop pulling yourself back in.

This week on the show I share 2 case studies from the last week. Both are steering angle sensor relearns that won't complete, or won't correct the issue. First is a 2008 Volkswagen GTI that had the battery disconnected and won't learn the steering angle basic setting afterwards. The second is a 2021 GMC Terrain that has an off center steering wheel no matter what relearn or alignment procedures are performed. Website- https://autodiagpodcast.com/Facebook Group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/223994012068320/YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/@automotivediagnosticpodcas8832Email- STmobilediag@gmail.comPlease make sure to check out our sponsors!SJ Auto Solutions- https://sjautosolutions.com/Automotive Seminars- https://automotiveseminars.com/L1 Automotive Training- https://www.l1training.com/Autorescue tools- https://autorescuetools.com/

 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is part 1 of 2. .  Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences. The FAQ is: What are three phrases to learn for Brazil? Answer: Language Insights: Your Spanish will help tremendously. While English is less commonly spoken outside tourist hotspots, learning a few key Portuguese phrases can enhance your experience: Bom dia (Good morning) Obrigada (Thank you – from women) Quanto custa? (How much?) These should help you on your first day. Translation apps are a great aid, but personal effort in learning the language shows respect for the rich Brazilian culture and will be warmly appreciated. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, the Confidence Challenge in Rio, will be to shop at the market, and you will find that the fresh fruits and vegetables are the best bargains. You may also find that your washing and drying machines are located by the market and are easy to operate. I found a laundromat that took less than 40 minutes for small loads, washing and drying my clothes. It was a bargain, too. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into shopping and getting life tasks like laundry completed, while moving through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign language communication tips. You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern. Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Part 1 of 2   If Rio has been sitting in the back of your mind for years, let's talk honestly about what you really need to know before you go — especially as a solo female traveler. Rio is bold. It's beautiful. It's emotional. But it is not passive travel. You need a plan. This is Step 5: Solo Travel. While the views from hillside Airbnbs can be captivating, prioritizing safety and convenience for your first visit is paramount. My favorite days in Rio were going to Copacabana and Ipanema, plus visiting Christ the Redeemer and praying in the small chapel at the top, where no one else was there. Embrace the Safety Reality with Confidence Rio does showcase visible poverty and inequality, but don't let that intimidate you. Staying alert and taking smart precautions can ensure a safe experience. Here are some helpful tips: - Keep jewelry minimal to avoid drawing attention. - Opt for a crossbody bag with a secure zipper. - Use your phone discreetly; keep it tucked away unless in use. - Take Uber for nighttime travels instead of random taxis. - While daytime at the beach is lively and fun, stick to populated areas after dark. I had no problems with theft or any scary times in the city. It is Step 5 travel, for sure. Remember, a blend of confidence and awareness will enable you to enjoy your time in this dynamic city! Strategically Visit the Icons You've seen the breathtaking photos. Be sure to visit these 4 places: - **Christ the Redeemer**: Arrive early or later in the day to dodge the heat and throngs of tourists. - **Sugarloaf Mountain**: Enjoy the smooth ride and savor the extraordinary sunset views. I didn't visit, but I did see it every day from Niteroi. Listen to that episode later. - **Selarón Steps**: Experience the vibrant colors and energy; be sure to visit during the day. This was an unexpected delight, and a bit of a tourist trap. The nearby Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian (Catedral Metropolitana de São Sebastião) is the main church located near the Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a distinctive, conical-shaped, modern cathedral situated just a short distance away in the Lapa neighborhood. You can walk there from the steps as I did, even though it was midday and very hot. Break up the travel into two-hour segments and stay refreshed. - **Rio Botanical Garden**: This peaceful, underrated gem boasts flat walking paths perfect for a reflective afternoon. Water: Respect the Ocean- I swam every day here. If you have a love for the ocean, Rio will not disappoint! Just remember that Atlantic currents can be strong, so stay safe by: - Swimming near lifeguard stations. I loved being at Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, and nearby hotels for some r and r. - Steering clear of isolated areas. - Keeping an eye on your belongings; don't leave them unattended. - Renting a beach chair from credible vendors for comfort. Morning walks on the beach are magical and provide a quieter atmosphere to enjoy. Translation apps are a great aid, but personal effort to learn the language shows respect for Brazil's rich culture and will be warmly appreciated. **Cultural Awareness** Brazilians are warm, expressive, and affectionate. You might hear comments or whistles that are cultural rather than threatening. Always trust your instincts—if something feels off, don't hesitate to remove yourself from the situation. Dress stylishly but simply to blend in and enjoy your surroundings. **Final Thought for Solo Women in their prime** Rio is not about conquering fear, but about being well-prepared. When you stroll along Copacabana at sunrise, feeling the refreshing Atlantic breeze, you'll discover something important: you are capable of so much more than you realize.    —————— My missteps: Travel Mistakes to Avoid in Rio: Beat the midday heat.   Travel early in the morning and don't try to beat the midday heat. Sometimes, it was so hot, I just wanted to melt. Save yourself with a midday nap if possible. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the next journey.

Send a textThe mortgage industry is buzzing about one headline right now: Veterans United is being accused of steering and deceiving military veterans.In this episode, Frazier and Michael break down what the lawsuit actually says, what parts of it matter, and why loan officers should be paying attention.This conversation goes deeper than industry gossip. It touches on the ethics of VA loan marketing, potential RESPA violations, and the bigger issue of how veterans are treated within the mortgage system.The hosts also debate whether loan officers should talk about competitors publicly or if doing so only amplifies their brand.If you work with VA borrowers, this is a conversation you need to hear.What You'll LearnWhy Veterans United is facing accusations of steering and deceptionThe RESPA Section 8 issue at the center of the lawsuitHow referral kickbacks and real estate partnerships may play a roleWhy many loan officers have long been skeptical of Veterans United's marketingThe difference between competitor criticism and consumer educationHow VA-focused loan officers can use this moment to better serve veteransReal Talk Quotes“Veterans United is a marketing company that found a niche and exploited it.”“If you're the biggest VA lender in the country, you better not also be the worst one.”“Don't confuse VA loans with VU loans.”“Just because something generates leads doesn't mean it delivers value.”“If you went to a calculator page and didn't get a calculation… that's not a calculator.”Tactical Takeaways✅ If you specialize in VA loans, educate borrowers on how the process actually works✅ Use industry headlines as conversation starters, not marketing gimmicks✅ Understand RESPA referral rules if your business involves agent partnerships✅ Focus on service and expertise instead of competing purely on brand recognition✅ Build trust with veteran clients through transparency and educationWhy This Episode MattersVA loans are one of the most powerful benefits available to military veterans.When companies misuse marketing, misrepresent relationships with the VA, or create referral structures that may violate RESPA, it doesn't just affect competitors. It affects the perception of VA loans themselves.For loan officers who genuinely care about serving veterans, this moment is a reminder that integrity and education matter more than aggressive marketing.Empower LODIFRNT Coaching CommunityBroker Toolkit

A new nationwide class action lawsuit is accusing Rocket Companies of illegally steering homebuyers toward its mortgage and closing products — even when better rates may have been available elsewhere. The lawsuit alleges Rocket and its affiliates pressured real estate agents, including those at Redfin, to funnel clients to Rocket Mortgage and its title company, potentially violating the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, or RESPA. Rocket denies the allegations and says it will vigorously defend itself. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what the lawsuit claims, how the alleged referral arrangements worked, why the case references a prior Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigation, and what this could mean for mortgage competition, agent referrals, and consumer choice going forward.

Today, we go deep on swimming but keep it relatively simple so you can work on things that matter and lock them in. We talk about some of the most important fundamentals regarding swimming: breathing, body position, and body control. There will be big wins in your swimming if you can master the basic principles of swimming. We also get into how you should be breaking up your week regarding form, intensity, and endurance. We'll look at getting a bigger return for your energy investment, why the hips are critical, why you're probably too tense in the water, and the soon to be famous Light Switch Test. Topics: Does op 20 swimming list hold up? Swimming and focus on the details Obsession over aero and watts but not swimming 90 Day Challenge Picking up swimming later in life Correct form + muscular endurance End of Ironman running form Uncomfortable doing hard swims? Efficient form for return of energy investment Day One - Pick one day for technique (AR) Day two - Focus on top speed and turnover Day Three - Longer swim for muscular endurance How to breathe Why to breathe every stroke Breath 2-4 Bilateral breathing?? Build a strong side Body position Head is number one Forehead down Body Control Head raises - body sinks A body drill with paddles Outside cues to get a better feel for the water Video from the front cue Splayed out? Hips way too open Hip control Steering wheels in swimming The Light Switch Test   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
