Diskussion:Rebekah Keat

message: (von ihr Coach, Brett "doc" Sutton) (er schreibt immer mit vielen Gramatik- und Rechtschreibugs-Fehler):
hi,
well i have let many people view their personal thoughts to what is construed as beks problem .
aprt from bek and her family
i can say ,with out doubt nobody is more disspointed , in the outcome than me .
however ,
the team doesnt succeed  because we dont view things from the true if hurtful perspective .
the team runs on the power of 3 .
that means in every thing, we break it up into 3 steps ,
we dont believe in making it more complicated than that .
what ever it is .
you come with a problem , that had 5 or 6 points  the doc sends you back to the corner and says
bring me back 3
and we will find a solution .
sol ets put it to bed , before we start to look like slow twtch forum and then we lose one viewer very quickly ,
namely me .
* 1/   the cause
bek  didnt swim to her full potential . for what ever reason , and there could be many .
bottom line  she swam 5 min slower than she could have and should have .
this left her vulnerable , to all types of rules and interpretations by officials of those rules
not referees fault , not head judges fault , not wtc policy fault .
but  bek and coaches fault
no debate , no discussion
we reap what we so.
* 2/   the calls
i come from a more black and white sport ,
that a refs decision  is final , no argueing , no pity partying , or you get your head punched off by the opposition  with in the next 10 sec
rebekah did not have the discipline to control her emotions at the time of said infringements and it cost her dearly .
whether the decision were right wrong , or in between , doesnt change the call , it doesnt change what needs to be done , to make the very best out of a shitty hand  that is dealt .
that is your hand , how you play it , is up to the individual .
some get inspired , some crack .
bek cracked , why cover it over ? that would stop her learning  from it and be stronger next time when she wants to win .
the calls in race  motion , must be adhered to .
dont like it , dont race .
this is your sport , can it be done better ? well of course  , but that is not on the table on race day .
you must know the rules and adhere to them .
the rules may be stupid , but thats what you signed up for , so know em backwards , i think just not bek
but 75% of the pro field would fail a rule test .
this is for the athlete to individually address .
* 3/ the solution
how can it be fixed for the future .
that is the easiest problem to fix in the sport .
the sport prides itself on tradition.
however have failed to see that in developing its brand and product , that the strength of the age group competition has increased so much
that the tp 10% of age group men  are equal to the working pros of not 20yrs ago but 5 yrs ago .
if it was a looped course as so many are these days
big problems
but as a still traditional out and back course there is no excuse .
not to make one change .
start the women off  2omin infront of the men pros  and 30min ahead of the age group pros
with this one stroke , you buy another 10 yrs of racing ,and not have to go back and visit this problem .
just that simple , you get a real womens world championship , and the sport stays the one where age groupers get to be on the same course at the same time as all the pro heroes .
still truely unique , still a fantastic specticle  and you take away any  inference of missbehavour .
i dont blame wtc for this problem ,but the whole raft of ex athletes working for them , who dont make it extremely clear what happens out there in the real racing world .
plenty say "o we do " till the level of i have to take a stand , and then we drop off because we dont want our employ in jeapardy .
time for them to stand up support jimmy , and say , its   time .
this is the easiest way .
there are plenty of different options , that can be put in place , but it does change the race as it has been known ,
this way keeps all the traditions , intact .
lets hope it is enacted on  this season .
thank you for your time
the doc
