Championship-Winning Backstroke

Championship-Winning Backstroke DVD VIDEO TRAINING swimming technique drills '03 Type: Movie Platform: DVD Publisher: Championship Productions Released: 2003 Media: DVD Championship-Winning Backstroke Featuring Richard Quick, Stanford University Head Women's Swimming Coach (3X Olympic Coach, 17 NCAA Team Championships, 5X NCAA Coach of the Year), and Milt Nelms, world-renowned coach, clinician, and artist/illustrator. Beginning with a thorough on-deck discussion of the posture, line, and balance concepts as they apply to the backstroke, Coach Quick introduces the fundamental principles that govern efficient backstroke technique. Coach Nelms validates these posture, line, and balance concepts in the classroom through clear explanations and exquisite drawings designed to deepen your understanding. Back in the pool, Quick builds the backstroke through a drill-by-drill progression with demonstrations enhanced by footage shot above and underwater. Quick is not only an expert stroke technician but also brings a high degree of energy, motivation, and excitement that enhances the learning experience. Staying true to his "inside/out" philosophy of stroke development, Quick sequences balance drills that emphasize core body position for the backstroke. Building on the core balance drills, he then incorporates the extremities as balance tools to reinforce front-quadrant swimming for the stroke. Quick shares progression drills that uniquely and sequentially combine these exercises into a balanced and rhythmical full stroke within a 25-yard pool. The drill sequences culminate with a complete look at the full stroke from both a side and head-on perspective. Runtime: 48 minutes Year: 2003 For DVD Player (North American NTSC)
