I heard this while watching the 96 kona dvd.
I can't recall the exact wording, but Dave Scott said "I ran a 2.53. I don't ever want to run that slow again".

"Obsession with measurement is an expression of self doubt. Many of the things that matter the most defy measurement. When we enter the realm of human nature and human actions, we are on shaky ground when we require measurable results as a condition of action."

When asked how many sit-ups he did a day:
"I don’t count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting.
When I feel pain, that’s when I start counting,
because that’s when it really counts.”

"They select their future athletes on a scientific basis, as they are also doing for their future scientists, mathematicians, physicists. When an East German child shows promise in any area, math, science, sport, etc., he and his family are often moved so the child can be enrolled in a special school or institute that is designed to nurture this skill."
"In the United States we throw our 500,000 age group swimmers into the pool and let the best survive. The ones that come out on top have the physical ability and have fought their way to the top through hard, merciless work. We do not coddle our swimmers. Our swimmers, also the Canadian and Australian swimmers, are not pampered. We throw them all in the pool and let the best survive. I favor this system over the scientific approach of the Russians and East Germans."

Great one Matt, please send the full article to all our coaches , as they will know more what the doc came from and is about . Also Matt emphasize doc was a sports scientist but he was also an on deck coach of many years experience .
Here is another doc special ,
And I was in the room when he said iT
Question asked
If you were allowed one method to scientikfically enhance swim performance ?
"well might not be what you are all lookin for , but I'd have to say ,shut the windows and turn the chlorine up,
It toughens me up, yep , even the supa soft ones get something out of that "

"In business they have a saying, “You never see a good-looking salesman.” I don’t know how really true this is, but possibly he doesn’t sell much because he is too busy with the farmer’s daughter. The point is, I believe, you want to stay away from people who have everything going for them. I’ve yet to have a good swimmer who was talented physically and also well-adjusted. A person can have all the physical and mental attributes and not do well, because the person with everything going for him does not have a strong ego drive. Perhaps this ego drive is part of the “X” factor we have been talking about."

i wish that was true for US tennis. it's the completely opposite. its the europeans that are clawing and scratching their way to the top.

The doc training doctrine
Is the now method. Of periodisation .
What we do today ,
Is a direct result of what we did yesterday ,
And what we hope to do tomorrow .
