--Why underwater kicking is faster than swimming on top of the water; “DO THE MATH!!!!”

-- Motivational and teaching video to show the power of using extended underwater breakouts in competitive situations and provide the bases for the study and work on underwater kicking;

-- What the fish scientist tells us about the foil movement;

-- What are the quantitative values in underwater kicking vs. swimming performance;

-- Understand distance per kick, with values that will help define your performance,

-- Understand kicking tempo (and how coaches can measure it), with values that will help define your performance, and a very simple method of coaching to develop the exact tempo match-up.

-- The interaction between distance per kick and tempo in relations to body movement (using core body strength to obtain more distance per kick);

-- How to work on the problem of losing velocity at the end the kick out;

-- The use of underwater drills and a skills teaching type mono fin to develop perfection in the foil movement;

-- Focus points and methods of coaching the development of the foil movement.

--AND MUCH MORE!
