American Olympic Swimmer Missy Flanklin Backstroke Drill: How to Swim Backstroke Faster

U.S. swimmer Missy Franklin, 4-time gold medalist at the Olympics, shows us how to practice head stabilization during backstroke. Keeping your head still while performing backstroke will help you get faster. In an extremely challenging drill Missy Franklin shows us how much stability it requires to become an Olympic backstroke swimmer.

Missy Franklin Backstroke Drill

To perform the Missy Franklin backstroke drill, you'll need a water bottle - ideally bring an extra one, don't use the one that you're going to be drinking from, because it will fall into the pool! Also, you want to be able to adjust the water level. Fill the water bottle about half-way. More full, is more challenging.

Swim backstroke and place the bottle on your head. When your on your last stroke before your flipturn, grab the bottle and turn.

I have another hilarious video for my readers today. Chris Kemp, an Australian pro triathlete, shows us how to make some money while training.

If ever you needed a little inspiration to go professional, I think this video is for you. On his webpage Kempy, Chris reminds us that it's never too late to go professional. He spent several years working as a financial accountant before becoming a pro triathlete.
