A Special Message for Swimming Parents

Included in my mentoring program are one-on-one sessions where the coach can decide what topic they’d like to cover in our session.In almost 75% of those discussions, coaches want to talk about their challenges and difficulties with swimming parents.I thought I’d record something that coaches can share with the parents of the swimmers in their team so that an independent voice can talk with them about what it takes to be an outstanding, supportive swimming parent.Wayne GoldsmithCopyright Wayne Goldsmith - All Rights Reserved.
