Coach JY does a great job of striking a balance between belief in an athlete and pressure. Before coming to college, I felt that I was pressured to go a certain time and disappointing my coach if I did not achieve it. At Davidson, Coach JY focuses on encouragement while understanding that athletes are already so hard on themselves and often do best with positive rather than negative reinforcement. He prioritizes the athlete as a person and student first which shows in his encouragement of our pursuits outside of the pool. Lastly, he is always looking at the latest research on swimming performance and keeps up with results that can help with our technique and training.
