I appreciate you all coming along. I hope that I can share some of the experiences of the last couple of years and my coaching background. As you know, just under three years ago I made the move from Australia to Great Britain.

I have had nearly three tremendous years in Britain. I am working with a group of coaches who have had open minds, have been willing to change and we have made massive changes. I don’t think there is anything in British swimming that remains the same. I don’t think it required a massive change in any one area, but it required small changes in nearly every area. I thank the officials who changed the competition structure immediately, after a lot of hard sell. The coaches who changed their coaching philosophies and the athletes who took on board the philosophies and policies, many that were very hard were put in place.

I have had just three tremendous years working with the National team in Britain. Also, quite a few others, and it has been probably the three best years of my life in coaching. All the rumors that I heard of closed minds and negative attitudes in Britain, were totally unfounded and they really ran with it hard and fast. As you know, this book has just come out that myself gave John Atkinson the idea of some six years ago. I was too lazy to write it and didn’t have enough time.

I came up with the ideas and John, he had did all the work. If I could introduce John.

Subsequently, just after I moved to Great Britain, I recruited John into the program as national youth coach for Britain and two years ago at the European Junior Championships the British team won two medals. Just under a month ago the British team won the European juniors with 7 medals clear of Russia and it was because of John and a group of coaches that took onboard the changes and worked very hard with him. So, we have had a great summer of success with our first ever female world champion, our first male, in 28 years, world champion and a record number of medals at the World Championships. Great success at the European juniors, European Youth Olympics and the World Student Games, I’d like to refocus the position that I didn’t do it, it was the coaches and the athletes who had the open mind and the willingness to address a whole lot of new coaching philosophies and ideas.

We took huge risks. The old story, that you only ever change one thing at a time so that you can evaluate it, and you never change anything by more than 10-15%. We threw in the bin. We changed things by up to 50, 60, 70% and we certainly changed everything. So, there was a high-risk strategy in developing British swimming.

We have very limited budgets. We have no national sponsor and we have 7 Olympic pools in Great Britain that we can access. Each of those pools charges between 23-25 pound per hour, per lane to hire. The results were achieved in adversity. The only area that we had to focus on that could make a difference to the swimming program, was with the coaches and their attitudes and the athletes and their attitudes. That is the only thing that has changed in Great Britain that has made the major difference. That, and the willingness to work together for a common goal as a team which meant sacrificing some of their individual or personal goals.
