Being Younger, Moving Forward with Chris Neilson
Listen now
Description
Clive and Sam interview Chris Neilson from Poole Swimming Club.  Chris talks about how he got into coaching and what it’s like for younger coaches in a job that is mainly dominated by older colleagues. We will also be talking about how the younger generation of coaches are bringing new ideas and new training models into a sport that some have said is stuck in the 80s. We also discuss peak arousal (The Spice) when it comes to racing, and how controlling stress can increase performance in training and racing.
