Nort: Creating a great learning environment

by Katrina Radke 1

January 30th, 2013 News

Katrina Radke talks with Olympic coach Nort Thornton on fostering a learning environment for the athletes, developing a team environment, helping the athletes become their own best coaches, and helping teammates learn from each other, through creative playing in the water.

When we can trust our own power, and explore new possibilities and help each other by sharing what we see and experience, we all benefit.

Nort also shares a story where he had his athletes watch and learn from one of the greatest breaststrokers of all time – Kosuke Kitajima.
