Description
A Constraints-Led Approach to Swim Coaching by Andrew Sheaff offers a fresh perspective on athlete development and programming in swimming. By considering the athlete as a whole person, coaches can adapt their approach to meet individual needs and develop an understanding of the athlete-environment relationship. This book presents a framework for identifying constraints that determine high-level performance in swimming, along with practical examples to navigate constraint manipulation. The author's conversive voice makes the subject accessible to a broad audience, including coaches, sport scientists, support staff, athletes, and parents. Academics and students in related disciplines will also find value in the insights provided. By applying contemporary motor skill acquisition and athlete development practices to swimming, A Constraints-Led Approach to Swim Coaching provides a valuable resource for those looking to improve coaching techniques and athlete performance.
