The Planning Process
• Service Team Meeting the week after trials to identify Key Priority Areas and develop new IAPP
• S&C, Physiotherapy, Biomechanics, Physiology, Pilates all present

Key Priority AreasAction Area Description Intervention Measurement
• Skills • Turn’s dropping off within race (technique & physiology)
• Starts have improved but not World Class
• NTC/AIS visit within next week to clearly identify why
• Wetplate Outcomes• Weekly monitor in DPE
• Maintenance of Mobility
• Matt’s technique varies greatly untapered and tapered due to range restrictions associated with training load
• Weekly Soft Tissue intervention
• Review of Pre/Post Training routines
• Complex Hip Screen• Pilates Review
• Continue weekly range monitoring & develop new benchmarks
• Improve stroke efficiency
• Maintaining stroke length within first 75m of race
• Altering set design to specifically practice first 75 of race. Then challenge with performance Pressure and cognitive load
• Race analysis in Paris Open & World Champs

Pre Meet Reflections
Travel
• Preparing for jetlag• Train separately – or keep within group?
• To fly tired after a hard session? Or fly fresh?
• He had a written down plan for travel (prep, sleep timing, skins, hydration etc). This went really well, however didn’t promote independence and learning.
• Massage & stretch at stopovers worked very well.
• Physiology tests when arriving at destination can be misleading. His mood and motivation altered his readiness test results. I learnt we cant rely on numbers alone.

Pre Meet Reflections
Europe Training Camp
• My knowledge of S&C & Physio was very useful when travelling. My advise would be to be heavily involved in all areas so you confidently make independent decisions when needed.
• In hindsight I would have travelled with other swimmers/squads for initial part before being on team. I didn’t take into account Matt not having any friends for the first week overseas.
• French Open was at a different point in season and I poorly predicted performance. High expectations due to good training performances, then he went 2.14. NSW State is normally 6 weeks out however Paris was 4. In hindsight very hard to compare. Good lesson though
• Planned versus actual kms – I was way off with travel days.

Pre Meet Reflections
Staging Camp
• Great mix between youth and experienced coaches, athletes and support staff. Very fascinating to observe & compare behaviours of all.
• All the experienced coaches were happy to offer advice when asked - both technical and coaching/managerial.
• I went in with a plan to take notice of what other coaches say, how they act, and how they deliver tapers.
• I wrote notes, but in hindsight I should have written better notes with context and had more formal sit down meetings/coffees.

Budapest Reflections
• Much higher pressure than trials.
• More pressure on heats & Semis than domestically.
• Element of unknown regarding night time swims & relays.
• Mental recovery vital for coach & athletes.
• Looking after other high performing athletes needs to have good planning and structure around it
• Much less contact with the athlete than on Junior teams or domestic competition.
• Prep & recovery processes need to be very well drilled
• Promotes independence; but as coaches we need to accept that mistakes will be made
• Young athletes are both positively and negatively influenced by other athletes on the team.
• Reflection with the athlete is vital
