The Third 50 - E17 - When to Start Teaching Data

Glenn Mills and Wayne Goldsmith discuss the importance of starting to teach data and swimming fundamentals early, emphasizing that teaching kids concepts like length and tempo at a young age makes their learning easier and more effective. They highlight the benefits of using technology to enhance coaching, such as providing personalized feedback and making stroke mechanics more understandable. Glenn shares his experience with a new software that gathers data from 3,000 races, showing how understanding length, tempo, and duration can improve performance. They also touch on the need for coaches to adapt to new technologies and methods to better engage and develop young athletes.
