S3 E5 - CREATING A SUCCESSFUL CLUB

from The Third 50 Hosted by Glenn Mills & Wayne Goldsmith

Season 3, Episode 5: Creating a Successful Club (Part 1) Wayne Goldsmith and Glenn Mills lay out what actually goes into building a swim program that lasts — not the technique, the decisions underneath it. In this episode: Identity first — why "who are you, and what do you stand for" has to come before drills, technology, or dryland The warm-up as an X-ray — how Wayne reads a club's culture in five minutes on deck Building a staff that completes you, not one that just agrees with you Facilities and equipment — why a better pool doesn't make a better coach (and a bucket of concrete can be a kettlebell) Money, committees, and the three people every coach needs on speed dial The "crow's nest" approach to long-term planning, and the one thing every 8-year-old actually needs Building a local network — physical therapists, nutritionists, and sport psychologists who'll work for exposure to your team
