with Ad'm Dusenbury,
elite age-group coach

One of the country's brightest young coaches, Ad'm Dusenberry, delivers a comprehensive backstroke library that details every aspect of competitive backstroke.

This DVD focuses on Dusenbury's "Golden Rules" for backstroke - kicking consistency, streamlining and turnover rate.

In each segment Dusenbury presents instruction in an individual setting, as well as a larger group setting. This allows you to study the technical details of the stroke and see how Dusenberry teaches these techniques in a team setting.

STROKE
Dusenberry presents a five-part breakdown of the backstroke.

Kicking: See 10 kicking activities and variations designed to assist the swimmer in developing a fast, efficient kick while maintaining a tight core body position.

Body Position, Balance & Rotation: Includes a 14-drill progression that begins with a focus on head position and gradually builds arm movement and body rotation into the stroke.

Extension: Learn three drills you can use to teach proper transition into the hand entry.

Pull and Recovery: See seven drills that focus on each segment of the arm pull though hand exit, recovery and entry.

Stroke Rate and Stroke Count: Dusenberry puts the stroke together with six demonstrations to assist the swimmer in finding their own optimal rate for maximizing stroke efficiency.

TURNS
Dusenbury presents a four-step sequence to teach an effective and efficient backstroke turn. See how he teaches swimmers to count strokes from the flags for wall consistency; how to maximize the crossover stroke into the flip turn; how to build confidence in the turn; and how to push off, kickout and breakout.

STARTS
From a simple gutter start to a block start, Dusenbury shows how to build a start for the developing and advanced backstroker. Great technique for any level of swimmer.

Throughout the presentation, Dusenbury offers tips and observations of the common challenges he works through with his swimmers. This insight is appropriate for coaching any level of backstroker.

This instructional swimming DVD is packed with over 3 hours of information that is sure to assist you in becoming more successful in all phases of coaching backstrokers.
