The best medley relays consist of four swimmers excelling in their individual strokes. In the best coach-swimmer duos, the coach&#8217;s strengths compensate the swimmer&#8217;s shortcomings\u00a0and vice versa. For example, a talented swimmer that lacks confidence needs a supportive coach to help her\u00a0accomplish something greater than she thought previously possible. On the other hand, a swimmer dreaming of making the Olympic Team needs a practical coach to guide him on the path to success.<\/p>\n<h3><em class=\"\">2. &#8220;What&#8217;s my coaching philosophy?
