Why Everyone Needs a PowerStarts(R) Clinic
There are at least 50 key elements of a swimmer's start that a coach must observe, analyze, correct, and refine. However, most of the elements that must be observed, analyzed or corrected take place in less than two or three seconds! Even the best "eagle eye" is going to miss some of the 50 Secrets of Powerful Starts. Furthermore, practiced long enough, a bad start becomes almost immune to change the conventional way.
Not so with the patented PowerStarts(R) Training SystemTM, because the swimmer sees and feels the results of improper execution and is challenged to change immediately. And computer-aided video analysis of the swimmer's starts allows for detailed refinement of each of the 50 elements.
The PowerStarts(R) Training SystemTM and Clinics offer coaches and swimmers a tremendous improvement in the quality and productivity of start training. Properly applied, the System enables swimmers of all ages and abilities to improve their start efficiency and knock-down their start times.
The PowerStarts(R) Training SystemTM is a skill-drill training device. The secret ingredient of the PowerStarts(R) success is that it teaches the swimmer the correct experience of what it should feel like to properly execute a powerful start. It brings instant feedback and gratification by letting the swimmer feel a surge of power as they enter the water, a surge that they may have never felt before.
The PowerStarts(R) Training SystemTMworks by speeding up the learning curve of the swimmer. The System gives swimmers a defined angle of height, defined jumping distance, defined point of downward angle and the defined angle of entry. It also can aid in the definition of body attitude. The System achieves results instantly that would take months of coaching to obtain the same results. The proper technique is achieved almost invariably after less than six dives using the PowerStarts(R) Training SystemTM. The positive experience is recorded in the athlete's conscious and subconscious. The athlete builds a proper experience and confidence in their proficiency.
