He found refuge from this tough environment and from his father\u2019s strict discipline through participation in sports, especially swimming.<\/p>\n<p>After one serious transgression, the penance demanded by his father was for Bill to teach a fellow miner\u2019s thalidomide child how to swim at the local town pool for free. Bill was 17 and knew nothing about teaching or coaching. But from the moment he started working with the boy, he discovered his passion to become a teacher and coach and became totally committed to be the best he could be.<\/p>\n<p>He started coaching at the Mt. Isa community pool and quickly developed a team that ranked third in the country. Recruited to replace Hall of Famer\u00a0<strong>Laurie Lawrence<\/strong>\u00a0at Carina, a club in Brisbane, he earned a reputation for being a tough and demanding coach \u2014 and for developing three of the greatest distance swimmers in history, Hall of Famers\u00a0<strong>Steve Holland,<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Tracey Wickham<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Michelle Ford<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In 1980 Bill was recruited to work at the newly formed Australian Institute of Sport and was named Head Olympic Coach for the Moscow Games. He was also awarded a Churchill Fellowship, which sent him to the USA for a year to study all aspects of coaching under Hall of Fame Greats\u00a0<strong>Nort Thornton<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Don Gambril<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>George Haines<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Doc Counsilman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In 1983, while on a training trip with the Australian team in West Germany, Bill suffered a catastrophic leg injury in a freak road accident. It resulted in major surgery that continues to present him with challenges and hardships to this day. Dealing with this injury, he believes, taught him to be both a better person and a better coach \u2013 and he keeps learning from it.<\/p>\n<p>In 1990, after serving as the head swimming coach at the Australian Institute of Sport for 10 years and being in charge of many of Australian swimming teams at the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and other events since 1978, Sweetenham found a new challenge in an offer to develop swimming in Hong Kong. But four years later, he was back in Australia as National Youth Coach. Favored to replace\u00a0<strong>Don Talbot<\/strong>\u00a0as National Head Coach after the Sydney Games, he took an offer from British Swimming instead. Britain had been in a downward spiral with its swim program for many years and in Sydney the Brits returned home without a single medal for its swimmers for the first time. They wanted him as their High Performance Director and he was excited by the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>After eight years on the job. Bill transformed British Swimming. Under his leadership and management, Britain\u2019s swimmers won 18 World Championship titles and produced their best ever results in the Commonwealth Games, World Championships and Olympic Games.\u00a0 He created and implemented an early talent identification and development program that many experts believe is responsible for Britain\u2019s success in the pool today.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Sweetenham stepped down from his role with British Swimming and retired from day-to-day coaching in 2007. During his career he served as head National Team Coach at five Olympic Games, coached 27 medalists at the Olympic Games and World Championships and nine world record holders. He is an accomplished and published author and is internationally recognized consultant for his strategic planning capabilities in high performance sport and business. When not involved in a coaching education program, he is searching the world for more knowledge and experience, and for the next piece of information that will improve athlete and coaching performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relive the special night for\u00a0Bill Sweetenham\u00a0when the\u00a0International Swimming Hall of Fame inducted the class of 2018\u00a0during ceremonies in Fort Lauderdale Florida on May 19th.
