• Season planning and daily water and dryland practices, in alignment with the Head Coach and MAC's training progression.

• Race preparation, technical execution under fatigue, event development, goal setting, and meet readiness.

• Thoughtful swimmer progression, including readiness assessments for S3 and recognition that S2 may remain the best long-term fit for some athletes.

• A calm, respectful leadership style that balances high expectations with athlete well-being.

• Sound judgment with swimmers and families, including the ability to solve routine issues and elevate significant concerns appropriately.
