Astrid Wharton is a Head Swim Coach for a Club based in the UK and an Instructor for Open Water Swimming at swimfortri.co.uk. She is a firm believer in sport’s ability to teach both coach and athlete in how to, and more importantly want to, become better a version of themselves. That is showing up every day to celebrate and acknowledge strengths and weaknesses in equal measure, and never giving up or be fearful of uncovering weaknesses. Admitting a weakness is the fuel to drive change. Success is not born out of trying to achieve unobtainable perfection based on a few natural strengths and discarding failures/limited skills. Building an environment that embraces change for both coach and athlete is the key to success.
