Every time a swimmer sees Egor Kornev go 21 in the 50 breathing three times, they come to me with the same question... In this one I break down what his coach actually figured out, plus two camp announcements and a lesson on how real change works. Here's what's inside: - Why Egor Kornev breathes 3 times in a 50 - The real reason his coach lets him break the rule - The trick question about change that stumped my swimmers - Two new junior camps plus who's coaching this summer Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm4Iwifltw0

The No-Nag Method -> Get your swimmer off the phone without the war. Yes, you know exactly what I'm talking about... Whether you just watched my video or you're finding this in the group for the first time, you're in exactly the right place. Read this once and you'll know exactly what we're doing, why it works, and the one thing to do today. 🔥 What this is A short challenge (kicks off the last week of June, right here in the group) where we get your competitive teen swimmer (12+) off the phone without nagging, without confiscating, without being the bad guy. I run it with you. You, me, and your swimmer. You just follow the steps and show up. 📲 Why we don't just take the phone away After about 13, strict phone rules don't just stop working, they backfire... a teenager is wired to push back against being controlled, so every rule becomes the next thing they rebel against. It was never that you weren't trying hard enough. So we do the opposite: stop policing the kid, start changing the conditions. The 3 moves (the whole method): 1️⃣ Clear the Lane Change the environment, not the kid. Three screen-free zones (phone charges outside the bedroom, screen-free dinner, screen-free hour before bed). Most of the nightly battle just disappears. 2️⃣ Sign the Line Your swimmer says, in their own words, why this helps their swimming, picks what they'll do instead, and signs a simple agreement they actually own. When it's their idea, it sticks. This is the engine. 3️⃣ Keep the Splits Track it like a race: screen time, sleep, morning energy. They log it, watch the numbers move, and it becomes a game they want to win. What to expect Short daily steps in this group, each quick and clear. Better sleep, sharper mornings at the pool, fewer fights.... and a swimmer who's CHOOSING it. I'll be right here the whole way. Your first step 👉 Today (3 min): ONE conversation with your swimmer. Relaxed moment, phones away (yours too), then ask: "What's a goal you have in swimming that you've never really told me about?"

Coaching is part art, part science. After 18 years in this profession, I see it less as delivering information — and more as delivering the right information at the right time. Every athlete is different. Every conversation must adapt. But where many parents, and sometimes coaches - struggle is in understanding how much feedback is actually helpful before and after a race. In 2026, there’s a common belief that more input equals better performance. That simply isn’t true. More words do not create better swimmers. In fact, too much information can exceed an athlete’s capacity to process it. Elite coaching is often the opposite of what people expect: few words, precise timing, clear intent. Pre-Race Before a race, I keep it simple: “What’s the plan? What have you learned in Practice?” Then I give only a few targeted cues they can actually hold onto. For example in fly: “Kick controls the tempo. Last 25, faster kick. Throw the Hands forward, eyes down, hips up after the breath.” That’s it. Three cues. Clear. Actionable. Memorable. Not because athletes can’t handle more — but because performance breaks down when clarity is lost. Post-Race Over time, I use the watch less and less as a teaching tool at meets. Yes, times matter — but they are not the best learning tool in the moment. Instead I start with: “What did you learn- and tell me one good thing and one thing to adjust?” Then I wait. No splits. No video. No immediate correction. Just reflection. Because the goal is not just faster swimming — it’s building athletes who can feel, notice, and understand their own performance. That process takes years. Parents Here’s where this becomes important beyond the pool. 1. Conversations do not need to be complex. One or two simple, well-timed cues can be far more powerful than long explanations. 2. Give space. Constant input often creates confusion, not clarity. 3. Trust the timeline. Psychological Development always lags behind physical and psychological, nd Psychological Development is linked to Physical outputs. 4. Enjoy the process. One race feels like everything in the moment, but it’s only one step in a much longer journey.
