AGE Get to know them as a person Teach them about the sport Give them ownership Teach them to think and explore Understand and use reward Trust them as teachers Connect their sport to life Encourage innovation Encourage collaboration 5-11 Know basic information. Know likes & dislikes, pets, colors etc. Foundation skills,.Kicking, balance, shape management & base stroke drills Basic things like selecting games or drills etc. Ask them questions. Introduce concept. Everything should be fun and adventure based Introduce the concept Use as demonstrators only On a generic global level Not ready, but it doesn't hurt to challenge them Not ready 12-16 By this stage they should have a "why" for life and swimming. Asking them what they think is important Foundation + A more in depth understanding of how drills connect to their organic options At this age athletes need to be given a sense of ownership and allowed to share what they think Give them regular training sessions where they are given this opportunity. Avoid boredom Teach them how to reward wins and how reward impacts their personal value Use as demonstrators and small teaching assignments On a global level with small connections to life skills Encourage thinking outside the box Not ready 17+ In depth, full understanding of who they are and where they stand. Life "why's" and swimming "why's" change so revisit these every year Teach them everything they need to know about the sport Athletes need to understand ownership and responsibility and be given the trust to follow their own path when needed. Their opinion should be valued Even when challenged training should be stimulating and athletes should always be motivated to understand new options They should use the reward system to fuel confidence and self belief. In the process develop a robust sportbrain Use as full demonstraters and teachers within the group and within the system Be very specific of how training and performance circumstances mimic life Stimulate the athletes to use exploration to find new things that can be used in their sport. Name a drill or skill after them if they discover it Depending on the athlete and the level of freedom they have in the system, this could be as early as their late teens, or in their early to mid 20's DEVELOPING A RELATIONSHIP OF TRUST BETWEEN A COACH AND ATHLETE
