“Alex, I want you to use your knees more,” said Akash.

“My knees?” I replied.

“Yeah. That’ll increase your power and reduce your excess body movements.”

“OK, here goes nothing,” I said. And you know what?

IT WORKED.

My strokes got stronger as soon as I engaged my knees.

This tiny change increased the power of my leg drive and prevented me from wriggling around.

WOW.

This breakthrough was the result of personalized coaching.

The best way to iron out the kinks in your technique is to have your coach watch you and provide a thoughtful analysis.

You just need to find a coach that will work with you one on one.
