This weekend's Vegas venture couldn't have gone worse for the Warriors, as the NRL looks to launch an assault investigation into assistant coach Richard Agar. According to new reports, Agar allegedly grabbed a British journalist by the throat - and also reportedly verbally abused him in the press box in Allegiant Stadium. Coaching expert Wayne Goldsmith says it's expected this investigation will be followed on properly, rather than just falling back to the court of public opinion. "I'm sure they're a very professional organisation and I'm sure that they're doing all of those things really well. And the important thing is to make sure this is played out correctly, properly and in time - it's easy to hang people in the court of public opinion."

The Third 50 - E11 - Brent Rutemiller - Swimming in Legacy It's difficult to describe Brent Rutemiller. He's a swimmer. There's a good start. He's been a coach. OK - you sort of get the picture but.... He also has been - (and in some cases still is): A marketing manager A CEO A publisher An editor An author A manager A cartoon artist An influencer and thought leader in the sport A TV host A script writer A sales manager A presenter A global force for change in the sport of swimming A dad of three remarkable kids A loving and devoted husband to a truly amazing woman - Ellen A leader A wonderful friend and colleague and... Someone who's been fighting and beating the heck out of cancer for almost three years. We asked Brent a few months ago about his mental attitude to fighting the greatest fight of his life - his battle with cancer - and he said the most inspiring words we've ever heard from a human being, "Every morning I tell myself today things will be better". In this THE THIRD 50 Episode, the first of series 2 - we talk to Brent about his life in swimming. We discuss how he fell in love with the sport and how he's seen and experienced the sport change and evolve - not always for the better - over his life in swimming. We ask him about his time leading Swimming World and we invite him to share his views on the sport and how it's likely to develop in the years to come. And we talk with Brent about his family, his philosophies and views on life and on how he's remained positive, powerful and strong as he refuses to allow the disease to define his attitudes or his existence. This is an Episode not to be missed! You will be inspired. You will be informed. You will laugh a little at some terrible jokes but mostly you'll gain some personal insights into the life of one of the sport's most influential and intelligent figures. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) * The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. * The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. * The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics, and your hard training all come together. The 3rd 50 is the "championship" lap, where the great swimmers take control of themselves and the race and power away to victory. We want to share our almost 80 years of experience with coaches, swimming teachers, swimmers, triathletes, and people who love being in and around the water worldwide. Who Are Wayne and Glenn?

Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started. Imagine if you could commence your swimming coaching journey - with 10, 20, 30 years of experience somehow magically imprinted on your mind right from the first session!

What You Say Is Important - But What You Do Is Everything. 7. Ask Questions Of Experienced Coaches - We Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants. 8. Technique Is Not A One Size Fits All. 9. A Practice From The “Stoics” - The Problem Is The Way Forward - Learn To Embrace Problems, Difficulties, Challenges - They Are Usually Presenting You With The Greatest Learning Opportunities You Can Imagine. 10. Don't Take It Too Seriously - Even At The Highest Levels, It's About Fun. If They're Not Enjoying - You're Doing It Wrong! Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race.

The Third 50 - E9 - Getting Better at Getting Better! Some coaches have been coaching for 20 years. The question is - do you really have 20 years of experience - or do you have 1 year of experience….20 times over. Humans have a tendency to fall into routines and repeat things. In coaching this can mean you end up doing the same things, the same way, over and over and over. Life is changing rapidly. Kids are learning faster and they learn differently! Kids communicate differently. Kids are looking for more real, more connected, more genuine relationships from teachers, coaches, etc And at the same time - the sport is getting FASTER!!! In this episode Glenn and Wayne discuss coaching. They talk about coaching from the perspective of getting better at coaching - and getting better at getting better! They consider: Creativity in coaching - finding new and more engaging ways to coach skills and other capabilities; Building and growing relationships with kids - with other coaches - with parents / carers; Coaching coaches - how can coaches continue to learn, to grow and to improve over time; Reflection - how can coaches review / reflect on their own coaching and accelerate their own learning - and why this is important; Communication with kids - how to connect, engage and inspire kids; Empowerment - empowering swimmers to take ownership and responsibility for their destiny! Sometimes...ya just gotta stop - and think and ask WHY: Why do we need to keep doing long warm ups for young swimmers? They train in a warm, body weight supported environment….. Why do we do repeats over full lengths? Why always 25 / 50 / 100 / 200 etc. Why do we separate DRILLS from SETS? Why can't we integrate them? Why do we long main sets, accepting poor technique and skills as the swimmers get tired in the interest of keeping “heart-rate” up in a target zone? Why do we do “speed development” sets at the end of a long, hard workout - the second workout of the day? Why do we make sprinters do long, grinding threshold work - when it doesn't help them get faster or stronger or better at sprinting? Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race.

EPISODE 8 - Living a Coach's Life - Coach - Coach Thyself! Coaching is a wonderful profession - coaches change lives. Coaches inspire the hearts, minds and spirits of the people they coach. Coaches create opportunities for people to realize their potential. Coaches provide the environment for people to see their dreams become a reality. But it is also a challenging and demanding profession…. Early mornings First to arrive/last to leave Weekend meets Not highly paid for the most part, Demanding parents Dealing with Swim Club Boards / Committees Etc Increasingly, we know that coaches can struggle with stress, fatigue, burnout, health issues, and other difficulties. Coaches often spend so much time helping others that they neglect their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In Episode 8 of The Third 50, Glenn and Wayne talk about coaches and coaching. We look at ways coaches can stay healthy - and adopt a holistic approach to their own physical and mental well-being. TEN Takeaways!!! TEN WAYS COACHES CAN TAKE BETTER CARE OF THEMSELVES: WALK OFF - TURN OFF - turn off your phone, have days off - take time for yourself Water bottle and snacks - During workouts, have a water bottle for yourself and a snack to keep up your energy levels. Have a NO COACH TIME - for example, catch up on phone calls on the way home but once you get to your front door - it's YOU TIME. Take a break every season! Get to workouts early and spend 5 minutes relaxing - breathing TEAM COACH - sometimes step back a little and allow the other coaches in the team to take charge and lead the program SLEEP!!! Try to get to bed a little earlier. When you go to bed - don't sit there with your TABLET writing workouts or reviewing videos - go to sleep. Have a NON-SWIMMING PASSION - something you can do that takes your mind and body completely away from thinking about workouts, sets and drills Where possible - when the team stretches - stretch! Flexibility and mobility help you to stay loose and relaxed and it's a great time to get to know the team a little better. Stressed? Remove the cause Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together. The 3rd 50 is the "championship" lap, where the great swimmers take control of themselves and the race and power away to victory.

EPISODE 7 - Mind Body Connections: The Holistic Approach to Peak Swimming Performance Traditional models of mental skills training are mostly inefficient - i.e. developing mental skills in lectures and classrooms in the days prior to a big Meet. The integration of mental skills into all training, all practices and every workout is the key - MIND AND BODY - holistic training and coaching is critical! Every set / every session / every workout - has mental and emotional elements - the body can't swim without the head! Every coach will know that mental skills are incredibly important at all levels of swimming. Just as you wouldn't leave the development of stroke technique to the day before a Meet, you wouldn't leave the development of mental skills to the day before a Meet then hope the swimmer can deal with the challenges of the emotional environment of the competitive battlefield! In Episode 7 of The Third 50, Wayne and Glenn put their heads together and look at the importance mental skills development in swimming and triathlon. We discuss some of the critically important elements of mental skills development including: CONFIDENCE OVER-THINKING NEGATIVE SELF TALK' SELF-DOUBT RESILIENCE / MENTAL TOUGHNESS COMMITMENT UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS - of the swimmer and others Perhaps most importantly we present ways that coaches can integrate the development of mental skills directly through their workout design and practice sessions. Three Takeaways: Mental skills need to be practiced daily - in all practices, training sessions and activities. Coaches should look to add a mental skills element to all sets and sessions. Workouts are mostly written from a physiological perspective, i.e. VOLUME, INTENSITY AND FREQUENCY. Try adding another column - a mental skills aspect to everything you do. The name of the game ISN'T just to swim fast or to swim with great skills....It's coaching swimmers to swim fast with great skills when and where it matters - regardless of the situation or challenges - and that means coaching their heads as much as preparing their bodies! Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together.

Welcome to The Third 50! EPISODE 6 - Equipment - Training Tools - Gear, Gimmicks and Gizmos! Swimming equipment can be a valuable addition to swimming and triathlon coaching programs for athletes of all ages and at all stages of swimming technique development. Think of them as the "tools of technique"! However, as is the case with all "tools" - it's important for coaches, swimmers, triathletes and anyone who uses fins, paddles, snorkels, pull-buoys and kickboards in their programs to know WHEN / WHY /and HOW to use swimming equipment efficiently and effectively. In Episode 6 of The Third 50, Wayne and Glenn - and SPECIAL GUEST John Mix | Founder FINIS, Inc. look at the use of swimming equipment and consider: What is the best age to start using different types of swimming equipment? Who should / should not be using swimming equipment? How do you know which is the right swimming equipment to use? How do you select the right swimming equipment for you? How do coaches integrate swimming equipment use into their practices? Is there a time NOT to be using swimming equipment? Three Takeaways: Equipment is not a magical, quick fix to swimming technique improvement. Swimming equipment is a set of "tools" that can potentially contribute to the development of swimming technique and other important swimming skills and capabilities. Before using any swimming equipment, coaches, swimmers and triathletes need to clarify their reasons for WHY they are using the equipment. Start off with clarifying your own "technical-model" - and then introduce equipment which can help athletes progress towards optimal performance. It's no good coming up with a great solution to the wrong problem. Take time to understand how and why swimming equipment can be used before including it's use in your program.

Welcome to The Third 50! EPISODE 5 - WE HAVE A NEED - A NEED FOR SPEEEEEEEEEEEED! Speed is the most precious thing in swimming. It's what it's all about! The training, the sets, the repeats, the workouts, the dryland sessions, the mental skills practices, the equipment...everything we do in this sport is about the achievement of one, clear, simple thing - to go faster! In Episode 5 of The Third 50, Wayne and Glenn look at the development of swimming speed through the context of our TEN SWIMMING SPEED LAWS! SWIMMING SPEED LAW 1 - The faster you want to go, the more relaxed you have to be. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 2 - There's a big difference between speed and effort. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 3 - Technique and Speed are inseparable! SWIMMING SPEED LAW 4 - Train Speed – fast!!! Not at the end of an endurance workout SWIMMING SPEED LAW 5 - 100% is Speed – less than 100% isn't. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 6 - Underwater kicking is vital. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 7 - Long rest, short duration. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 8 - Excellence repeated – not just repeats. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 9 - TEACH, TRAIN, TEST – REPEAT! SWIMMING SPEED LAW 10 - It's' about speed – not the length of the repeat. Three Takeaways: Speed is everything! The search for ways to help swimmers, triathletes, masters swimmers, surf-athletes and fitness swimmers to swim faster is never ending. There are some important principles to understand in the development of swimming speed that apply to everyone who is trying to identify ways of swimming faster - our TEN SWIMMING SPEED "LAWS". The sport is getting faster! This means that training for speed has become by necessity more deliberate, more purposeful and more precise. Just throwing in a set of 25s at the end of workout and hoping this will help athletes swim faster is not an efficient or effective way to develop real speed. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens.

Welcome to The Third 50! The Fourth Episode...DRILLS DRILLS DRILLS and more DRILLS!!! Download Wayne's chart here: Swimming coaches collect drills like kids collect candy! There are tens of thousands of swimming drills: there's a drill for every swimming occasion. However, how can drills be used optimally to develop an efficient and effective swimming technique for individual swimmers? In this Episode of The Third 50, Wayne and Glenn look at swimming drills and try to answer the questions: What are “great" drills? Why do you use drills? When do you use drills? How do you best use drills? We also talk about the best ways to integrate drills into practice sessions and workouts and the difference between Stroke DEVELOPMENT Drills and Stroke CORRECTION Drills. If you're a coach, a competitive swimmer, a triathlete, a surf-athlete or a fitness-swimmer - and you use drills in your swimming - then this is a must listen podcast for you! Three Takeaways: Drills are an important element of the "tool-kit" of every coach. However, as it is with using any tool, the key is choosing the right tool for the right situation and - knowing how to use it. There is no perfect drill! Copying the drills of the world's best coaches and swimmers does not mean you've found the secret to success. Drills are just one part of the art of coaching swimmers successfully. Rather than collecting more and more drills, just start with a few then learn how to evolve them through the systematic introduction of speed, fatigue and pressure situations in practice. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish.

Welcome to The Third 50! This is the third episode in season one and it's an incredibly important topic - Developing the Technical Eye! Every coach needs to develop their "Technical Eye" - their ability to look at a swimmer and determine how to improve and enhance the swimmer's ability to move efficiently through water. Some coaches have a "technical eye" which is mostly intuitive - almost instinctive - and they can practically "feel" technique as a result of years and years and years of watching swimmers train and race. But , Wayne and Glenn present ways for all coaches to learn - and master their Technical Eye! Three Takeaways: Every coach needs to develop a TECHNICAL EYE - the ability to see technique and to identify where technique is working and where it's not working; Coaches will talk sets and reps and volume and equipment - but the importance of developing a TECHNICAL “EYE” can not be over-stated; A simple way to learn the Technical Eye is to walk with a swimmer and progressively, systematically and methodically see what's happening from the tips of their fingers to the tips of their toes. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish.

Welcome to The Third 50! In this Second Episode, Wayne and Glenn discuss the importance of underwater kicking! Under-water kicking - "Dolphins" are vital - they are essential for fast swimming. The question is - how can you coach swimmers to develop a "deadly" Dolphin????? We look at some outstanding examples of underwater kickers and talk about training and coaching techniques to integrate super fast "dolphins" into your practices. Three Takeaways: Learning and mastering underwater kicking - "Underwater-Dolphins"- is so important that it is rightly referred to as the "FIFTH STROKE". Thinking of it as the fifth stroke elevates its importance in your coaching program to the same level as butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. There's no "one-size-fits-all" model when it comes to underwater kicking. The golden rule here is "It's faster if it's faster." Swimmers should stay underwater and doing their "dolphins" IF - they are faster underwater than they are when they are swimming on the surface. Remember the TEACH, TRAIN, TEST process for underwater kicking. Teach the skill. Train the skill. Then importantly, Test the skill under competition conditions. Teach swimmers to kick efficiently and effectively underwater. Train them to perform their underwater kicking at target race speed. Then find a Meet where you can test and assess their ability to perform their underwater kick when and where it matters....in competition. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together. The 3rd 50 is the "championship" lap, where the great swimmers take control of themselves and the race and power away to victory.

Welcome to The Third 50! In this first Episode, Wayne and Glenn discuss how coaches can help and inspire their swimmers to realize their full potential and share their thoughts on swimming technique. Three Takeaways: Every swimmer is unique: every technique is unique. How do you develop and enhance the technique and skills of individual swimmers? Some principles apply to all swimmers, e.g. head and hips positions, small head movements, soft hands, loose feet, but the name of the game is to develop "their" stroke - a stroke that works for the one specific, unique individual. There is no one "text-book perfect" swimming technique that applies to all swimmers. The only swimmer who is "text-book perfect" is the swimmer whose picture is in the textbook. For everyone else, it's about finding out what's efficient and effective in maximizing propulsion WHILE minimizing resistance. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that really matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 is flowing because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together.

David Jack One of the world's most recognized sports performance and conditioning coaches, David Jack creates experiences that help people discover, co-create, and activate the greatness that lies within them. "I believe that as we use our strengths; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, to serve, we are given more. Fitness has been relegated to 6 pack abs, a faster 40, a bigger bench, a better Fran time. Goals are good, and they matter. But if all we train and prepare for is to improve our fitness metrics, or look better for others that judge us, then that's all we get. But as we cast our Eyes Up, and choose to Rise Up, acting out of inspiration with intention for purposes greater than self, amazing things begin to happen. When great people, places and things come together to create the change they seek in the world, the positive effects cascade forever. This is my mission, my activprayer: To use my God given gifts, talents and passions to inspire, connect, teach and share with others in an effort to change the way we look at fitness, ourselves and those around us. To help people get ready to be ready when they are called upon, becoming the who THEY were created to be, in order to do the WHAT ONLY THEY CAN DO." – David Jack   Additional Resources: Find David Online (Activeight Fitness) Great Article from Wayne Goldsmith on Motivating Athletes Article about Focusing on One Thing at a Time (from Mission.org) 3 Ways to Remain Dedicated to Your Mission (Entrepreneur.com)
