Fifteen years later, author Malcolm Gladwell suggested that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery in a skill or field. Known by the term, \u201cprocess,\u201d swim coaches use that learning curve to improve the performance of their swimmers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-january-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last month<\/a><\/span>, Swimming World detailed how age group and high school coaches use process to improve the performance of their charges. This month, three veteran college coaches share their thoughts on this crucial aspect of swim training.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #de4010;\">ONE ON ONE<\/span><br \/>\nSince taking over as the head men\u2019s and women\u2019s coach at Denison University in the fall of 1987, Gregg Parini has garnered six NCAA Division III Swimming &amp; Diving team titles, 16 runner-up finishes, and has been named CSCAA\u2019s NCAA-III Coach of the Year 11 times. How he\u2019s earned those accolades is a testament to his commitment to his athletes.<br \/>\n\u201cWhen we talk about investing in the process, we\u2019re really talking about investing in relationships: a relationship with the sport&#8230;the training&#8230;the coach&#8230;with teammates. If those relationships are going to be healthy and productive, it starts with a strong foundation of trust,\u201d says Parini. \u201cIf your athletes don\u2019t trust the people implementing and involved in the process\u2014coaches, trainers, teammates\u2014investment is marginalized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThink about it. Who will invest his or her total self into an untrustworthy relationship or process? Too often a lack of trust in the process is the root of underperformance. Developing trust demands the coach invest time and energy beyond simply applying the X\u2019s and O\u2019s of training and competition by spending time getting to know the athlete. What\u2019s the athlete\u2019s history with the sport&#8230;with coaches&#8230;with teammates? And how do these histories impact the athlete\u2019s interaction with the sport&#8230;the team culture&#8230;the coach&#8230;and the teammate now?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeak performance,\u201d he says, \u201cdemands that we establish a team culture deserving of our athletes\u2019 trust\u2014all of which begins with establishing healthy relationships with our athletes. Two examples&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>#1. \u201cI dismissed a sophomore swimmer from the team for violating team rules. It was a particularly difficult situation where the swimmer\u2019s history impacted his swimming, academics and health. After a year away and having received professional help, he approached me about being reinstated. I told him that he would be allowed to return and could remain with the team under the following conditions:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe meet and apologize to the coaching staff; he meet and apologize with the returning team; he agree to weekly check-ins with me to discuss both positives and negatives; he abide by all team rules\/policies.<br \/>\n\u201cHe followed through and went on to become one of our most successful student-athletes in team history. Since graduation, he continues to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>#2. \u201cI also had a very talented freshman female swimmer who struggled to gain traction in practices and meets. Her body language and verbal cues suggested she wasn\u2019t feeling comfortable. Everything seemed tight. I knew she had more in her, but despite my efforts in practice and meets, we simply couldn\u2019t get her swimming at a level she was capable.<br \/>\n\u201cAt the suggestion of one of my mentors, I met her for coffee at one of the local coffee houses. My intention was to address the swimming issues. Instead of talking about swimming, we spent the next couple of hours talking about everything but.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><br \/>\n<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-december-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">To read more about &#8220;the process&#8221;,<br \/>\nClick here to download the full February 2021 issue of Swimming World now<\/a><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-november-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-february-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"460828\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-february-2021-emma-mckeon-perseverance-and-hard-work-pay-off-for-the-aussie-superstar\/sw-february-2012-emma-mckeon-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-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 February 2012 &#8211; Emma McKeon COVER\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;SW February 2012 &#8211; Emma McKeon COVER&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER-766x1024.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-460828 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER.jpg\" alt=\"SW February 2012 - Emma McKeon COVER\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER-300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER-450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER-673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER-245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SW-February-2012-Emma-McKeon-COVER-533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>[PHOTO BY DELLY CARR, SWIMMING AUSTRALIA]<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Get <em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em> and <em>Swimming World Biweekly<\/em> FREE When You<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/join\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1522345712821000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGfwbLD2OaI21g28efcR0DZZlQSOQ\"><em>Become A Member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product\/30-day-digital-membership-to-ishof-with-swimming-world-subscription-download-current-swimming-world-biweekly-and-technique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New!
