Read the SwimNews Interview with Randy Reese
Craig Lord of SwimNews interviewed Randy Reese about the Clearwater Beach Coaches Clinic. The article talks about what's going to happen at the clinic and why it's different and better than everything else going on: http://www.swimnews.com/News/view/7761
Instead of having coaches tell everyone how they train their athletes, we will ask them why they not only train them a specific way but why they believe they have had success. This will be done by asking follow up questions to their answers from our other speakers during each topic. The thinking behind doing it this way is that we will try to give more answers than the typical clinic that is currently being run. This should give the attending coaches even more knowledge to why each of you feel and think the way you do with the topics being discussed.
See Clinic Schedule
Our speakers are some of the best known coaches throughout the world. All together they have been awarded nine ASCA Coach of Year awards and have had swimmers set over 70 World Records. In addition to this, we have one of the knowledgeable professors in the world that specializes in kinesiology and physiology. All together this gives us arguable the best line up of speakers at a single coaches clinic.
