A Swimming Lesson for the “Super Bowl” Half-Time Show – 3 Steps in 3 Minutes
PICTURE THIS: Your swimming lesson is taking place on the 50-yard line for the SUPER BOWL HALF TIME SHOW! Over 80,000 people are watching LIVE, not to mention millions of viewers at home! All your students have special waterproof microphones on so EVERYONE in the stadium can hear them (and you)!
This is your big chance to show what a great teacher you are!
Here’s the kicker: You have to teach 4 five-year olds. You have never met any of these children before. All you know is they can do some freestyle but they CAN NOT breathe to the side properly. The biggest challenge– you have 3 minutes to make your impression!
Sound impossible? It’s not! JUST USE THIS 3-STEP STRATEGY & YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL, on this day, and every day that you teach!
It’s called “CHORAL RESPONDING!” You simply say:
- “Say what I say” or . . .
- “Repeat after me”
- THEN, one at a time–announce the cues.
STEP #1
For example, you’re teaching the Side Breathing for Freestyle:
YOU: “Say what I say–OY!”
STUDENTS: “OY!”
YOU: “Breathe”
STUDENTS: “Breathe”
YOU: “Stroke One, Stroke Two”
STUDENTS: “Stroke One, Stroke Two”
STEP #2
Then COMBINE CHORAL RESPONDING WITH A DEMONSTRATION of the Freestyle with Side Breathing.
YOU: “Now SAY THOSE WORDS while I do it.”
(Start with your breath and say the beginning with them.)
STUDENTS: “Breathe, Stroke One, Stroke Two, Breathe, Stroke One, Stroke Two, Breathe, Stroke One, Stroke Two . . . ”
STEP #3
Give Your Start Signal and Practice!
YOU: “Jeb and Nolan—READY GO!”
(5 seconds later)
YOU: “Sarah & Allie—READY GO!”
There YOU HAVE IT! That’s exactly how I would do it and I GUARANTEE it would work wonderfully! Your students are engaged. Their fans (especially their parents) are proud! And YOU, COACH . . . ARE AN “AMAZING TEACHER.” The parents will tell all their friends! And YOU, COACH . . . will have a faster growing list of students than you ever thought imaginable without one penny of paid advertising. You brand yourself by how you teach, how effective you are, and how positive and encouraging you are to their children.
