With all these smileys I presume TD spend a few week with Brett recently, no?

So, for you Doc, are swim coaches overemphasis the leg conditionning in general?
I read once, Popov was able to kick 28"70 for a 50m kick (with kickboard?)
Is leg speed only good for front quadrant swimmers?

Hi gang
Any comment about Tim outstanding performance?
I read his coach is Ben Bright, a former athlete of the doc.

thanks you so much for your answer Doc.
No one else during your only swim coaching activity (Bill Sweetenham,Kieren Perkins,...)
cheers

Question for the Doc

I spent a week with the Doc a few years ago, but I didn't have the time to ask all my questions during that week 

Who are your greatest mentors (coaches or athletes) who have influence your coaching philosophy and your work ethic?

thanks for your answer Doc.
