Mark brought numerous videos with analysis and demonstration. Breaking each stroke into 3-4 key parts makes it easy to help your athletes improve each stroke. He didn't focus just on the elite college and pro swimmers but also high school athletes.

He was aware that it's hard to see underwater as a coach and many high schools don't have the ability. Instead he brought in key words for each of the key parts of the stroke.
