Learning From Colleagues: How Swimming Promotes a Familial Relationship Among Coaches<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swimming World explores the fraternal nature of how coaches learn from one another. Not surprisingly, such education isn\u2019t always about X\u2019s and O\u2019s, but borne from familial relationships that reveal the caring for athletes, which at its heart, underscores the beauty and essence of our sport.<\/em><\/p>\n

Eddie Reese<\/strong> underwent a transformative experience on the deck at the 1972 men\u2019s NCAA Championships. As a University of Florida assistant, he witnessed an exchange between University of Southern California coach Peter Daland<\/strong> and Frank Heckl<\/strong>, a former 200 IM winner who finished sixth, 4.72 seconds behind winner Gary Hall<\/strong>. Reese recalls that no one liked to race Heckl because he had a killer instinct\u2014\u201cone of the toughest swimmers that\u2019s ever been,\u201d he remembers.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery simply, Peter said to Heckl, \u2018That\u2019s not you. You can let the rest of the meet be this way or you can fix it.\u2019\u201d And fix it he did, finishing second in the 100 free (by .08), third in the 200 free, second in the 400 free relay and swimming fly on the victorious 400 medley relay. \u201cThat was a great important moment for Peter, Frank and an eavesdropping Eddie Reese,\u201d notes the now Texas coach.<\/p>\n

Reese has gone on to claim more men\u2019s NCAA<\/a> championships than God\u201415 and counting. In the process, he has coached seven Olympic teams, 73 individual NCAA champion swimmers and educated countless swim coaches. He has also made enduring friendships that have enriched the lives and education of one and all.<\/p>\n

One of those bonds is with Jack Bauerle<\/strong>, recently retired head men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming coach at the University of Georgia. \u201cEddie and I probably talk once a week,\u201d says Bauerle. \u201cWe\u2019ve roomed together at international meets and a had a great time. When he comes to Georgia, we go quail hunting; when I go to Texas, we shoot ducks. That time spent together is invaluable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had dual meets against one another for more than 25 years. In-season, I would come home from meets with other teams. And on Saturday night, I\u2019d get a call from Eddie. He\u2019d always have a pretty good idea what we could have done better. I\u2019ve told people that there is no person in my lifetime more of an expert on my program than Eddie Reese. And that call was always made with great intentions,\u201d says Bauerle\u2014and probably for a laugh or two.<\/p>\n

Clinics notwithstanding, \u201cWithout question after a certain time in your career, I think you can learn more from a colleague than anything else,\u201d says Bauerle. \u201cLike any good coach you are looking for something new. For sure, we write a lot of workouts. To me those conversations are really important,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

In truth, Bauerle has a lot of conversations\u2014and friends. They include people like former Arizona head man Frank Busch<\/strong>, one of his closest friends in life whom he met on a basketball court between prelims and finals at NCAAs\u2014along with fellow ballers Greg<\/strong> Rhodenbaugh<\/strong>, Tim Murphy<\/strong>, Chuck Warner<\/strong> and others. He and SwimAtlanta founder Chris Davis<\/strong> have been soulmates for years.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say all has been sweetness and light.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeri McKeever<\/strong> (Cal) and I were bitter rivals. I loved it. There were six to eight years when we were up to our necks. That can turn into anything when you are competitive, but we had a great relationship and shared a lot,\u201d he says. Among other things shared: deep respect.<\/p>\n

Often such continuing education can include mentoring. Bauerle had a good one in five-time Olympic coach and SEC competitor, Don<\/strong> Gambril<\/strong>. \u201cHe was very helpful to me in a time when not everyone in the SEC was that affable. He said, \u2018Take care of your swimmers and as many others as you possibly can.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Georgia started to get a lot better, it was he who told me, \u2018You need to make being a national team staff member as soon as possible. Do anything they ask you to do, and you will build from there.\u2019 My first assignment was the Olympic Sports Festival in Oklahoma City in 1991 followed by the World University Games in England.\u201d Since then, Bauerle has gone on to serve on two United States Olympic and four World Championship teams as well as win seven NCAA and 12 SEC titles.<\/p>\n

An even earlier Bauerle mentor was legendary Germantown coach, Dick Shoulberg<\/strong>. \u201cFrom him, I got a lot of my basics. He taught me more than anything that swimmers \u2018are all different. Don\u2019t treat them the same. Work \u2019em, but treat them differently.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyler Fenwick<\/strong>, presently associate head coach at the University of Virginia, spent years as a swimmer and as a fellow coach with Shoulberg. As a swimmer, Fenwick clearly learned fundamentals, but as a coach, Shoulberg counseled:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Demonstrate to every athlete and employee individually how much you care about them;
\n\u2022 Treat the people that most people don\u2019t take the time to see (maintenance, cleaning crew, hotel staff, bus drivers) really well.
\n\u201cShoulberg would watch QVC in the middle of the night, think of someone, and have items shipped to them,\u201d says Fenwick.<\/p>\n

Mission Viejo\u2019s Bill Rose<\/strong> advised:<\/p>\n

\u2022 If you have a great employee, do everything you can to keep them;
\n\u2022 Roll with the punches (Rose was incredibly patient and took even the most tense situations in stride);
\n\u2022 Always have your employees\u2019 backs first. Sometimes coaches make mistakes. \u201cCoach would always protect his employees and give them the benefit of the doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Tennessee\u2019s Matt Kredich<\/strong>, he observed:
\n\u2022 When hiring for a position, hire people who do something better than anyone else\u2014i.e., those with superpowers;
\n\u2022 The mark of a great assistant is that the team moves forward and improves when you\u2019re not there.<\/p>\n

And from national champion coach, Todd DeSorbo<\/strong> of Virginia:
\n\u2022 Be a good person, work really hard, and great things will happen;
\n\u2022 The head coach should be outworking everyone. \u201cI\u2019m not sure Todd ever sleeps,\u201d says Fenwick.<\/p>\n

Jeff Dugdale<\/strong> and his Queens University Royals are in Year One of a transition from D-II to D-I. In their wake, they leave behind seven consecutive (both men\u2019s and women\u2019s) NCAA titles. Now in his 12th season at Queens, Dugdale has taken with him sterling wisdom from coaches:<\/p>\n

Mike Bottom:<\/strong> Coach to one\u2019s mindset, not their physical ability. Amazing things happen when you get out of a swimmer\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

Dan Colella:<\/strong> Laugh and have fun. It\u2019s just swimming.<\/p>\n

David Marsh:<\/strong> Always start with what \u201cGREAT\u201d looks like. Words and appearances matter. Choose them carefully.<\/p>\n

A FEMALE PERSPECTIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abby Brethauer<\/strong> was a 13-time NCAA D-III All-American and captain on Jim Steen\u2019s fabled Kenyon squads. Her coaching journey has included stops at Hamilton, Columbia, University of Mary Washington (head coach), Tufts (associate head coach) and was recently named the head coach at Princeton.<\/p>\n

She counts as mentors Kami Gardner<\/strong> (Washington & Lee), Nancy Bigelow<\/strong> (Tufts), Anne Goodman James<\/strong> (Colorado College) and Paula Miller<\/strong> (Ithaca College). \u201cThese women have truly shaped who I am\u2014and who I want to be\u2014as a coach,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Among some of the things Brethauer aspires to be is a respected and winning coach. Her track record shows she\u2019s on her way (10-time conference coach of the year accolades at Mary Washington). She also wants opportunity for the underserved in aquatics\u2014especially female coaches. \u201cI\u2019ve learned if there is another woman coaching when you are on deck, introduce yourself\u2014especially if they are younger,\u201d she says. \u201cThere aren\u2019t a lot of us, and it is important to make those connections. This was modeled for me by women who were my age\u201442, gasp!\u2014when I started. They made it a priority to know me.\u201d<\/p>\n

George Kennedy<\/strong> (Johns Hopkins, CSCAA president) imparted to her, \u201cIt\u2019s OK to try new things and then change your mind if they don\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExperience has taught me that coaching is hard\u2014really, really hard,\u201d says Brethauer. \u201cIt isn\u2019t something that necessarily gets easier, so find the people who make it fun, and prioritize maintaining those relationships. Be yourself with your team and be open to learning from them and those around you.<\/p>\n

As a coach nigh on 20 years, Brethauer has earned the right to take a longer view of herself and her place in life. She echoes Dan Colella\u2019s sentiments that \u201cit\u2019s just swimming,\u201d but adds, \u201cAt the end of the day we are really, really lucky to do what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Concludes Bauerle, \u201cIt\u2019s an incredible sport. You can never give back as much as we receive from swimming\u2014ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
