that\u2019s why I have dove-tailed that into Moreton Bay College and it\u2019s Learn-to-Swim all the way up to performance and has both boys and girls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoreton Bay Colleges have had a rich history of swimming but over the last 12 months they have not had a coach, so basically I\u2019m walking into a very similar situation I walked in to at Brisbane Grammar School in 2008 having to re-build a program and that\u2019s one of my strengths.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRe-building programs, connecting with the community in a massive catchment area out on the Bay with not too many competitors.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_436338\" style=\"width: 522px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-436338\" data-attachment-id=\"436338\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/newly-appointed-moreton-bay-swimming-director-david-lush-unveils-unique-research-partnership-with-qut\/david-lush\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1822\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 7D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1525531640&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;35&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"David Lush\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;David Lush&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy:&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-1024x729.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-436338\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"David Lush\" width=\"512\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-700x500.jpg 700w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-1024x729.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-280x200.jpg 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-2048x1458.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-2000x1424.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-1264x900.jpg 1264w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-500x356.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-436338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AWARD WINNER: ASCTA Coach of the Year David Lush &#8220;Bubble and Breathe to High Performance.&#8221;

at the moment it\u2019s not done very well and it\u2019s our aim to empower people, similar to the NCAA system (in the US).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to create a gateway for parents to say \u2018this is the opportunity we are looking for, who do we speak to?\u2019 Instead of filling out 20 page applications I\u2019m going to reverse engineer that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lush has said the reason he has taken on this venture is that he saw a gap in the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrisbane Grammar goes down to Year 5 and its boys only; the gap in the market as I see is that I can\u2019t currently identify a program that runs from Prep all the way to High Performance and everything in in-between and that runs alongside a school,\u201d said Lush.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you are not only investing in the athletes you are investing in them from an academic sense and a student well-being perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElite coaches, clubs, institutions provide their athletes with all the tools required to climb Everest, whether it\u2019s the Olympics (or whatever goal is your Everest).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut not many people have a plethora of tools and provide those tools for people to come back down and that\u2019s the next step that I want to invest in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have an NCAAs so I think there is an opportunity there to invest in the human, the athlete so you can follow their journey, compliment their journey, with that complete 360 degree program.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_436339\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-436339\" data-attachment-id=\"436339\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/newly-appointed-moreton-bay-swimming-director-david-lush-unveils-unique-research-partnership-with-qut\/david-lush-1-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-1-2-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1562137545&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.002&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"David Lush 1\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;David Lush 1&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy:&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-1-2-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-1-2-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-436339\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Lush-1-2-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"David Lush 1\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-436339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PROGRAMING: Coach David Lush penning an exciting future with Moreton Bay Swimming and QUT.
