Why the Subtitle?

To explain the phrase below the title of this blog... I feel that many swim coaches do not use their creative or cognitive abilities to the maximum. Many of us (myself included at times) are slaves to the ideas of the successful coaches who came before us and are afraid to find a better way. I strive NOT to be this way - to find my own way to be most successful, incorporating ideas of my own with the wisdom I have gleaned from others to be myself, a "thinking" coach.
