E17 - Brian Sweeney, Community integration supporting grassroots through to performance. Making the best of what you have!
Description
In this episode, Brian Sweeney, Head Coach of Templeogue Swim Club, shares his extensive journey in coaching. We explore the importance of community integration, maximising limited resources, and developing grit in swimmers. He discusses the evolution of coach-athlete relationships, the significance of reflection in coaching practices, and the role of ISCA in supporting Irish swimming coaches. Brian defines success not just by medals but by helping athletes realise their potential and navigate challenges in their lives.
