There's a trend playing out in coaching that we need to be paying attention to. Good coaches are quitting, preferring to walk away than put themselves and their families through the lifestyle. Sports should be the bastion of leadership, not the industry leaders are fleeing. 👇

The true leader in a group is rarely the person who talks the most. It's usually the person who listens best. Listening is more than hearing what’s said. It’s noticing and surfacing what isn’t said. Inviting dissenting views and amplifying quiet voices are acts of leadership.

This is so true. In swimming it’s all about who slows down the least! If you can maintain speed, you’ll likely put yourself in a pretty good position – at Sunshine Coast, Queensland
No matter the sport, success generally comes down to having energy left when others don't... At all levels: Game, Race, Season, Athletic Lifespan! This is the fundamental reason why building a strong #AerobicBase is absolutely essential for *all* athletes in *all* sports.
