Why America Needs Cowboys by Ben Stein
Check out this great speech by Ben Stein. I have been reading this to my older kids for years. Now that I have younger kids, I don't use it, but it is great for teenagers, coaches and adults of any age. Enjoy!

Coaching 10 & Unders: SCS Fall Kick-Off Clinic & ASCA 2010 World Clinic
I really loved doing this particular talk at the ASCA World Clinic, however, I seemed to drop the ball at the SCS Fall Kick-Off Clinic as the presentation itself was poorly executed. Nevertheless, I feel there are great things to see here and I hope it will help all of you get a great idea of what coaching these kids is all about. Also, take a look at the video that went with this presentation. You can find it here posted on Friday September 10th!
Age Group Season Planning: SCS Fall Kick-Off Clinic
This talk was my least favorite in preparation but I seemed to fly right through it with enthusiasm at the clinic and found myself really enjoying it. For some reason, I felt more confidence in this presentation and I thought I nailed the execution. Thanks for sticking around for this one!

New Season, New Opportunities - something for the kids...and the coaches
New Season, New Opportunities
What happens when a new season starts? New coach? New friends? New time? New Lanes? New workouts? New age group? You can’t control these things. So, what can you control? What about a new YOU?
With new seasons come new opportunities. So, the real question you should be asking is, “What do I want this season?”
Take the time to think about what you really want as a swimmer. This new season is a new chance to accomplish your goals. Take advantage of it. If you couldn’t get that J.O. cut last season, do it this season. If you couldn’t clean up that butterfly like you planned, do it this season. Set your new goals early and make sure they are BIG. Nothing great was ever accomplished by thinking small.
Write down your top 3 goals for this season. Having trouble…Just think about WHAT YOU REALLY WANT….and write it down.

3.
How do we accomplish our goals? Well, the first part is done. You have thought about what you want and you wrote it down. Now, get to practice and make it happen. Most age group goals are performance based. That means everything you want can be worked for AT PRACTICE. That is the key…Understanding that practice performance is directly connected to meet performance. Work hard to improve your strokes at practice-see better technique at swim meets. Work hard to push yourself past your comfort zone at practice-see your endurance and speed improve at swim meets. Work hard to do the things your coach asks of you at practice-see your confidence go up and your times go down at swim meets. In many cases it is that simple.
This is just the beginning. So, enjoy each practice and every swim meet regardless of the outcome. If things don’t go your way, identify your mistakes and learn from them.
I’ll see you out there.

Suggested Reading: 365 Ways To Raise Confident Kids
At the clinic I had mentioned a great book but couldn't remember the name. Here it is: 365 Ways To Raise Confident Kids. By Sheila Ellison & Barbara Ann Barnett "Offers imaginative ways to raise healthy, happy families.". "A great source for parents and educators. The book helps children build character and promote positive self-esteem. The ideas, activities and suggestions are invaluable.". Most of the ideas in the book can easily be translated into coaching opportunities. Check it out!
