Recapping Talent, Work Inputs, and how Katie practices
What are some dangers of early success and the benefits of not being good at something right away?
Do you work/try/engage like someone who thinks they have to earn it or someone who has had "early success"?  What is your idea about how much you have to to "work" in relation to others in order to get the results you want?
Why are decisions powerful?  Do you have an example of making a decision and getting a powerful result?
Here’s that music video showing off fun "talents" (and the Katie article was next to the link  you clicked to get to this form)
This is Coach Geno of the UConn women's basketball team, historically one of the most successful basketball teams in country.
Why do you think coach Geno values kids who have a tremendous appreciation for when their teammates do well?  What other qualities are important to him?
Why does Coach Geno care so much about body language?
What types of attitudes or behaviors does Coach Geno find frustrating in players?  Why do you think he would rather lose the game than put in those types of players?
Would you consider "getting in on time" body language?  What are you telling your coach and teammates when you get in on time?
Go Bruins
What was the body language of player #1 saying (this was right after he made an error on the court and his team lost the ball because of it) and what does his teammate's response demonstrate?
Coach Brey of Notre Dame men's basketball.
What does Coach Brey have to say about negative body language?  What kind of negative body language have you seen at practice and at meets?
How does Megan feel about slapping the water, the throwing of caps/goggles, or any displays of flamboyance?  Why do you think that is?
How can you be more self aware of your own body language and how it affects others?
This chart shows how many dolphin kicks the top 8 at Olympic Trials in each event did off each wall (both the average for the top 8 as well as who did the most in that head)
If you plan to be good at the sprint freestyle events (the 50 and 100 Free, and remember these numbers are taken from 50 meter pool swims), about how many race quality dolphin kicks should you be able to do off of your turn(s)?
What if your underwater dolphin kicks aren't yet faster than your sprint freestyle speed?  
What if my shortest freestyle event is the 200, do I still need underwater dolphin kicks to be a good 200 freestyler?  Why?
Do you find it interesting that the person who did the most dolphin kicks off the 200 free wall on the women's side is actually a mile/800 swimmer?  (the be more accurate, the best distance swimmer in the history of the sport)

For which stroke do you most need to harness the power of dolphin kicking?  (Yep, kind of a trick question, just articulate your thoughts for me here)
You are being asked to do dolphin kicks in a 3+2 manner (3 kicks that carry your wall speed and 2 bigger, stronger, Thor hammer powerful SNAP kicks to create breakout momentum and force).  Why do you think you're being held to that so hard?
Meet Thor's Hammer
This is Dana Volmer, one of the best butterfliers in history with a career starting on the international level at age 13, and later becoming the first woman to break :56 in the long course 100 meter fly.  She showed phenomenal grit in making the 2004 Olympic team and then NOT making the 2008 team, then coming back to win the 2012 Olympic event and break the world record in London.  This position is called the "YPress."
This is Tyler, the lead clinician in our Fitter and Faster clinic.  Watch how his head goes down before his arms and he stretches his shoulders out while his hips go up.  He lands in a "YPress" and then lifts his elbows into a "YCatch" before starting his stroke.
To be clear, this is Tyler's "YPress."
This is Tyler's "YCatch" where he's still reaching but he's lifting his elbows UP as his fingertips press DOWN.
And this is Tyler's "Ski Jumper" where he straightens his body to launch off his kick and the finish of his arm push.
This guy is going to go over ways to find and strengthen 2 positions in butterfly, the YCatch and the Ski Jumper.  We talk about the ski Jumper quite a bit, but we normally talk about the YPress Landing instead of the YCatch that is being demonstrated (which is what happens right after that).  Find the Ski Jumper and the YCatch in this exercise.
What do you feel when you practice these positions?  What muscles do you have to flex in order to get into and hold these positions?
Do you need to add these exercises to your Home Routine?
