When done right, everybody wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Recovery in swimming parlance has several connotations. In a workout, it is the period of active rest a swimmer experiences after a grueling expenditure of energy. In a meet setting, it can be the energy expended by a coach to help an athlete rebound from a disappointing performance and\/or an adverse circumstance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSwimming is a naked evaluation,\u201d says Eddie Reese, eight-time NCAA Men\u2019s Coach of the Year from the University of Texas. \u201cYou are in a little suit, in a lane all by yourself, and if you make a mistake or give up, everybody knows it\u2014or everybody who is important knows it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledges that every swimmer has disappointing swims. Sometimes it\u2019s even the coach\u2019s fault, but helping a swimmer recover from the calamity \u201ccan be one of the most important things we ever do,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Reese\u2019s post-race advice focuses on the simple, i.e., \u201ckicking through the wall at the finish, especially in 100 and 200 events. And cheering. Although the athlete may not immediately feel like it, the act of cheering actually has a healing effect and can empower a team,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n<p>Reese recalls the flu debacle that struck the 2010 Men\u2019s NCAA Division I Championships. Postponed a day to help mitigate the effects of the bug, every teams\u2019 title plans were dealt a bad hand.<br \/>\nTexas was 18.5 points behind Cal going into Saturday\u2019s final session when Reese commented, \u201cIf you\u2019re going to win an NCAA championship, you have to have people make a good effort on days when they\u2019re not feeling well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another coach who knows a thing or two about empowering a team is Braden Holloway, head men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming coach at North Carolina State.<\/p>\n<p>In prelims at the 2014 NCAAs, the Wolfpack\u2019s second-place finish in the 200 free relay (by 14-hundredths) was nullified when their second and third swimmers left the blocks early\u2014first by 1-hundredth of a second, then by 1-tenth. In 2015, State was again DQ\u2019ed for an early takeoff (3-hundredths) after posting the fastest prelim time.<\/p>\n<p>Those unhappy events relegated the NC State men to 13th and eighth place in the final standings. Since then, Holloway\u2019s squads have finished the meet four times in fourth place. Even better, his relays teams have captured first or second 11 out of 20 times and have been top four 15 times.<\/p>\n<p>Why the turnaround? For starters, excellent coaching and some maturity. \u201cWell, we did have a good run on relay DQs!\u201d says Holloway somewhat ruefully. \u201cWe were a young team, the new kids on the block. Many of our relay DQs were from inexperience in those pressure situations at the NCAA meet. We had a bunch of newcomers that were so competitive that all they wanted to do was win! And many times, it got the best of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that time as a staff, our goal was to let them know we had their backs and that it was only one moment in time; they would have their chances again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-october-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">To hear more from pro coaches on how they responded to their team taking a hit,<\/a><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-october-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Check out the full article in Swimming World&#8217;s October 2020 issue, available now!<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-october-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"447968\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-magazine-october-2020-issue-lia-neal-working-for-change-available-now\/sw-october-2020-lia-neal-working-for-change-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SW October 2020 &#8211; Lia Neal &#8211; Working For Change COVER\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;SW October 2020 &#8211; Lia Neal &#8211; Working For Change COVER&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-766x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-447968 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER.jpg\" alt=\"SW October 2020 - Lia Neal - Working For Change COVER\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-150x201.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-374x500.jpg 374w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SW-October-2020-Lia-Neal-Working-For-Change-COVER-533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>[PHOTO CREDIT: BECCA WYANT\/FINIS, INC.
