"It is essential to understand what it takes to think and act like a champion diver . there is quite a difference between wanting to be a champion vs. the commitment it takes in and out of the pool to become a champion." - Dr. Jeff Huber

To compete at the highest level a diver must maximize mental and emotional ability as well as physical ability. Huber shares the attributes and behaviors for "Becoming a Champion." Huber's in-the-pool commitment includes mental, emotional and physical strategies and shares basic and advanced tools for how to listen, process, react and learn from the ongoing feedback your coach provides to maximize each practice. Commitment outside of the pool is just as important for athletes. This includes physical commitment to strength and conditioning and mental commitment that reflects on practice and prepares a positive mindset for the next practice. A list of 10 "Characteristics of Champions" serves as a great conclusion to this outstanding DVD!

Gettin' Better with David Marsh: Tips, Drills & Skills for Faster Turns
with David Marsh,
8 X NCAA Coach of the Year,
12 X NCAA Championships at Auburn;
2 X Olympic Coach,
Head Coach, Mecklenburg Aquatic Club of North Carolina

Nothing exemplifies Coach Marsh's passion for fast swimming like the attention to detail that he demands in turns. Along with the start, Marsh feels that the turn is a skill that if honed and perfected, can bring about significant time drops for swimmers at any level! Marsh feels that with all turns, it is crucial to build the turn from "spinning" foundations done at mid-pool before proceeding to the wall. For all turns, Marsh presents mid-pool drills that teach and focus on the art of compact and tight spinning. Marsh proceeds to the wall with his "plant, pause and push" sequence before executing the full turn. Marsh begins with turns for breast and fly - short axis turns followed by long axis turns, free and back and finishes with turns for the individual medley. Throughout the presentation, Marsh shares turn tips that created a "wall domination" reputation for his Auburn swimmers!

Gettin' Better with David Marsh: Tips, Drills & Skills for Faster Breaststroke
with David Marsh,
8 X NCAA Coach of the Year,
12 X NCAA Championships at Auburn;
2 X Olympic Coach,
Head Coach, Mecklenburg Aquatic Club of North Carolina

For Coach Marsh, fast breaststroke swimming requires balance, timing, and developing a strong kick. Beginning on deck with Olympian Mark Gangloff, Marsh shares techniques and tips for developing and understanding the breaststroke kick. In the water, Marsh begins with setting the body position for the stroke with the kick and then moves into the pull instruction, sharing a series of sculling drills that will help you develop a feel for the simplicity and efficiency involved in the ideal pull pattern for the stroke. Marsh then adds breathing and timing to the stroke while sharing invaluable tips as to how to incorporate the proper breathing timing and technique into the stroke. Like the butterfly stroke, the most successful breaststroke swimmers have adopted a style of breaststroke that is a flatter and more forward focused stroke. In this DVD, Marsh will give you the tools necessary to implement the latest innovations for fast breaststroke swimming.

with David Marsh,
8 X NCAA Coach of the Year,
12 X NCAA Championships at Auburn;
2 X Olympic Coach,
Head Coach, Mecklenburg Aquatic Club of North Carolina

David Marsh believes that the most immediate and dramatic time drops a swimmer can achieve lie within the start. In this presentation, Coach Marsh includes instruction for the forward, the back and relay starts. For both the forward and back start instruction, Marsh begins with "agility" drills that will help you put a "jump" into your start to create a stronger "launch" off of the blocks. Marsh also assists you with proper foot placement and body positioning in the start set-up. Marsh follows with instruction that shows you how to get into the water cleanly and hold a strong tight line to optimize carrying entry speed from the dive into the breakout. Included are start demonstrations for all four competitive strokes. Marsh also includes both basic and advanced instruction for relay take-offs and shares the step-up relay start techniques that led his Auburn teams to repeated dominant and record breaking relay performances.
