I'll be straight with you: this is an experiment, but it's easy to measure and I believe in it. So we do it together .. swimmers, parents, and me as your guide. No nagging. You're the boss. Here's why my heart burns for this one. The scroll quietly pulls a little life out of you every day. It gives us something .. distraction, boredom relief, a feeling of belonging .. otherwise we wouldn't do it. Nothing wrong with you. But it does not give you real connection, it does not give you love, and the problems don't go away. Being present does. Swimmers, you can win at this because you have a WHY: you love swimming, you want to level up, you're go-getters who respond to a challenge. And this is a challenge. Parents, you being here is the edge .. at this age advice lands better from the side than from mum or dad, so I carry the message for you. Together. Do all 3 in the comments 👇 1️⃣ Baseline screenshot. Your weekly screen time. - 📱 iPhone: Settings → Screen Time → See All Activity → switch to Week → screenshot. - 🤖 Android: Settings → Digital Wellbeing → tap the bar chart → Week → screenshot. 2️⃣ WHY you want less screen time. Swimmers your reason, parents yours. Be 100% honest. 3️⃣ WHAT it actually gives you. Distraction? Boredom? Feeling connected or informed? No wrong answer .. if you're not sure, journal on it for 7 minutes. I only coach the people who take step 1, so post your baseline. In a couple of days we move to the next step, gamify it, and adjust as we learn. Two easy wins today: no phones at dinner (parents lead), and phone away 30 min before bed. This is really about not wasting the potential you've clearly got!! Let the games begin .. first screenshot this Sunday, me included. 💪

Guys, be ready for a big evening! Academy training as usual live with the swimmers in the Summer Taper Camp Camp. Right after the Academy Training we start the No-Nag Method to reduce screen time. 🚨 At least that's the plan. Arion is in the hospital unfortunately he hasn't food/milk for 20 hours so in case I'm not there, @Yul Münger is gonna run the Academy training. Drop a comment below with the date of your important summer competition 👇 I'm thinking we could do a refresher on how to taper like a PRO today.

I'm curious please vote below. Depending on the votes, Yul and I might be running a special training for swimmers and parents who want to switch to another club. We have been part of many successful transitions and we know what to do (and what to avoid!!) to find a great team & coach. Vote HERE 👇
