The Art of Following
Following is active, not passive.  We follow our teachers and coaches, and we follow our dreams.  Following is a "highly skilled process of collaboration and cooperation where we can do something together that would be impossible alone."  How is  your coach actually "following" you as they "lead" you?
How are you following well as you lead your teammates?
What does adaptability and innovation and being responsive have to do with being a good follower and how do you display these skills at practice in order to be successful?
When I am coaching you, I am expecting, above all else, a response from you.  Do SOMETHING in response to the teaching.  Why is responding so important to process?
Coaching a swim team is a lot like conducting a band or an orchestra.  How?  What would make a good following to help the group as a whole learn and perform "the music" of swimming better?
She offers of 5 bits of advice for how to be a good follower.  First, she wants you to use all of your channels of information to "listen."  How can you do this in practice?
Second, continually adjust.  What does this mean about listening and what is a "reference point"?
Megan says she wants you to have 3 reference points when you're at practice.  She says she wants you to listen to the "_____", to your "____" and to her tell you about the "_____" and your "____"  What are these two things she wants you to listen to that are more important that listening to her?  Why?
Third, see if you can listen "bigger" and see the whole instead of just your own part.  What does opening up your perspective do for you ability to see and make choices?
Fourth, bring your all to it, and make it your own.  We all look a little bit different when we swim the same stroke, what does adding your personal creative bit bring that makes both you and your team better?
And fifth, co-create something new.  What we make as a team or in your strokes or in your swimming might not have been what you originally intended, it could be so much more.  You might not know what that looks like yet, but if you keep the process alive, it will grow into something better.  What does "keeping the process alive" mean in swimming?
Can you be a great follower and a great leader at the same time?  What might that look like at practice and at meets?
This is a piece on leadership called "Follow the Leader" by Suli Breaks.
How is being average something that you are taught and maybe learn?
What does Socrates say "Leadership" is?
What does it mean when someone "follow fashion, not passion"?
What does Suli Breaks say is just as important as leadership?
To be able shine in yourself as part of a group rising to become better is pure joy.  How can you bring your personal uniqueness to a team environment led by a value system of engagement, investment, and learning? How do you lead, follow, and shine in a group striving to become better?
What does it mean when he says, "You be Red tomorrow and let me be Green today"?
And for reference, if you haven't met them yet, these are the Power Rangers.
Let's quickly go visit our last Energy System, the Aerobic System:   https://www.coursera.org/lecture/youth-sports/part-5-aerobic-energy-system-nQi8a  Unlike Glycolysis, the byproduct of the Aerobic System isn't an acid that paralyzes you, but essentially air and water.  What makes this process totally different than the first 2 (the CP System and Glycolysis)?
What's a "mitochondria" and why is it critical to athlete performance?
Elite athletes LOOK like they have more energy than every else, and they do to a point.  What actually allows them to look like they use oxygen more effectively than non athletes?
Athletic performance has to do with the quality of your skills, your decisions about how to use those skills, the strength you have in your muscles to do those skills powerfully, and the energy you have to power your muscles to keep doing those skills well throughout your race.  Are we good?
