Tune in for a few important happenings around Australia and on International front in this weekly wrap of 27 January 2025 to 31 January 2025.
Guests: Swimming Australia's Integrity Manager Lydia Scott and Swimming Australia's Complaints and Compliance Manager Scott Elliott Investing in integrity is crucial for the long-term sustainability of sport, but sadly it’s not the subject everyone in sport ‘wants’ to discuss. With more than 90 National Sporting Organisations, National Sporting Organisations for people with Disability and Sport Administration Bodies adopting the National Integrity Framework or working towards the Integrity Policy Standards, sports are looking for new and innovative ways to highlight the importance of integrity in sport within their membership. In November (2024), Swimming Australia launched its inaugural National Integrity Month, using the acronym FISH to spread awareness about its values – Fairness, Integrity, Safety, Happiness. It’s an event the organisation will now hold annually to boost the profile of integrity and the role we all play in protecting sport. Some of the messaging is as simple as providing clubs with information and advice on appropriate photo use of young swimmers. In this episode of On Side, we chat with Swimming Australia’s National Integrity Manager, Lydia Dowse, and Complaints and Compliance Manager, Scott Elliott, to find out more about how they prioritise integrity for the safety of members and the long-term sustainability of their sport.Support the show: https://www.sportintegrity.gov.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott hails from Northern Ireland where he started his career as an S&C coach with the Sports Institute of Northern Ireland. Having worked with multiple sports, he ultimately became Physical Preparation Lead for British Swimming. He oversaw significant transformation of several swimmers through to Rio 2016, including multiple Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth Games Champions who broke many world records along the way. Following the Rio Olympics Scott joined British Cycling as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach. He supported sprint and BMX programs and led a national team of S&C coaches supporting over 100 athletes. A year prior to Tokyo Scott was asked to become the coach for the Men's podium sprint squad, and they went on to medal in every possible event. Scott is currently a Senior Strength and Conditioning Coach with the Queensland Academy of Sport and National Technical Lead for Swimming Australia. He is completing a PhD in neuromuscular performance. QUOTES “As a strength and conditioning coach, you are vastly more effective if you understand what else is happening outside of the gym in an athlete's sport” “When you're coaching a program, what I learned to appreciate is that you don't always have athletes who are going to show up to training and attack every rep and set with maximal intent because you are not working with robots… so you have to pivot and tinker and adapt” "I think there are ways of reverse engineering performance in field sports but what you might not be able to see though is the same degree of quantifiable change in a gym variable resulting in a change in performance” “I would really love it if I could find a practical way in elite sport to do more job shares so everybody in a high performance team gets a better understanding of each other person's role” SHOWNOTES 1) A quick recap of Scott's career so far from Northern Ireland to the Queensland Academy of Sport 2) Being thrust into a technical coach role in a sport you have never coached or played before 3) Leading from the front, leading from the side and leading from behind with the British podium sprint cycling squad 4) The nuances of coaching athletes that are multiple Olympic and World Championship medalists. 5) Reverse engineering performance versus being reactive as a coach and the advantages of both 6) How you might reverse engineer performance in more open skill sports 7) The theory behind transcranial direct current stimulation 8) The “Roy Keane” moment for Scott and his current work with Australian swimming

Can we learn from elite and professional swimmers in our sport? I believe we can! And today's guest on Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast shares many insights from that very vantage point.As Janelle Elford, she shared in the dominance of Australian middle distance freestyler's of the late 80's and early 90's, culminating in a gold, silver and bronze medal at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland. As Janelle Pallister, she coaches alongside Michael Bohl on the Gold Coast working with the high performance swimmers from Griffith University - the likes of Emma McKeon, Kaylee McKeown and Mack Horton to name a few - and is currently on the Swimming Australia coaching team in Birmingham for these Commonwealth Games. She is also mother and coach of up and coming Australian swimmer Lani Pallister, who scored a bronze in the 1500m in Budapest last month.So as you can see, Janelle has a truckload of experience to share with us from a swimming and coaching point of view. She is humble, down to earth and I have a feeling the swimmers she works with admire her perspective.Click on the link to connect with Janelle:InstagramFacebookLinkedInClick on the link to connect with Torpedo Swimtalk:WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInNewsletterLeave us a review
