How to Support A Swimmer After A Poor Race (Coaches’ Examples Included)<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Abby Boone, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

Every swimmer has come to the wall at the end of a race and been unhappy with their swim. Whether they are sad or mad, whether there are tears or frustration, each swimmer turns to their coach for comfort and counsel.<\/p>\n

Ten coaches from around the country gave their advice on what they say to a swimmer after a bad swim:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“You have to look at the bigger picture. It’s all a part of the process. Respect the process. I try to teach the life skills as opposed to the finality of the swim.”<\/p>\n

“There is going to be a lot worse things that are going to happen in your life. I think about all the swimmers I have had come through my program and all that has happened to them after their time on the team. Swimming is just a game; life is a much tougher game.”<\/p>\n

“Mostly, I try to listen them. I ask them how they feel and let them talk. They often say it better than I would and often comfort themselves. If they can tell themselves what they did wrong, they learn much more than if I am telling them.”<\/p>\n

“It depends on what caused the bad race. You have to tell them ‘This is what you did well, this is where you erred.’ Of course, you’re kinder with younger swimmers, but if it can teach a lesson, do. Don’t just comfort. Comforting doesn’t teach anything.”<\/p>\n

“An emotional response is valid, but they have to have it on their own so I often tell them to walk away and come back later when they just want to talk. This race is not the most important thing that is going to happen or the worst thing that is going to happen in their lives. Yes, learn from it, but then let it go. My friend Eric Nelson from Miami say ‘every heat is winnable,’ and it is. Sometimes you just have to focus on the small successes.”<\/p>\n

“You always have to focus on what they did that made them so upset. Learn from it. Not every race is perfect, but there is always another swim meet. Life doesn’t end with that one swim and they can’t act like it will.”<\/p>\n

“I teach the positive mental state of mind. How did it feel? Swim it out, learn from it, move forward. You have to continue to be positive no matter what happens or you can never move forward.”<\/p>\n

“At an upper level meet, they’re all here for a reason. They’re talented, so I remind them of that. I give them the basics and remind them of what they need to bring it back to where they want. But if it’s a bad performance, I’m going to tell them that. Everyone appreciates honesty, even if they don’t want to hear it right then.”<\/p>\n

“I always tell swimmers to focus on what you can control before you swim. Afterwards you can only learn from it. Not every swim is a good and you do get emotional sometimes, but only while you’re in the water can you do your best.”<\/p>\n

“I work off the condition that athletic performances must be evaluated pragmatically. I foster an understanding of how a race could have been better and facilitate the swimmer to evaluate their own abilities in making changes. There is not a window to make excuses or \u201c lame shift” in this program, but rather a systematic approach of breaking down the race that can teach the swimmer to move forward and perform better in the future whether that is the next race or next competition. I like to give the swimmer constructive feedback that shows them what they did well and what they need to improve upon. Much of how the athletes respond is directly correlated to their disposition in practice and how they manage their sets when they are having a good practice or a bad practice. Swim practice is as much training athletically as it is psychologically in how to respond to adversity and creating solutions when confronted with hurdles to overcome.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
