Description
In this episode we speak with Kev Renshaw. He has a wealth of coaching experience and from 2004 -2016 was part of the British coaching team. He was also Head Coach of the England swimming team out at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, and has been to 3 Olympic Games as coaching staff. We talk with Kev about his coaching background and how he got to be where he is now, his experiences at the Olympic Games and how each one differed, gems of wisdom that he received from coaching colleagues and friends, and also how he looks to build a cohesive team. We found it great to hear about how Kev reads his athletes, and how he scrapped the plans for some of those athletes leading into major meets to get the best out of them psychologically.
