Swimmer celebrating after a race

Close the gap between
training and results.

Confidence coaching, race analysis, and technical development for competitive swimmers ready to break through.

Sound familiar?

You train hard. You show up every day, put in the work, and do everything that's asked of you. But when it matters most — at championships, in finals, under pressure — the results don't match the effort.

Maybe the times have plateaued. Maybe you perform well in training but can't replicate it in competition. Maybe you have the physical ability but lack the confidence or structure to use it when it counts.

That gap between potential and performance is exactly where I work.

Why I do this

Between 2017 and 2025, my coaching career took me from building programs in Denmark to leading Malaysia's national swimming team — including the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Along the way, my athletes have set more than 40 national records and reached finals at World Championships, European Championships, and multiple international podiums.

But competition outcomes only tell part of the story. My work is defined less by medals and more by problem solving — helping athletes understand why progress has slowed and what needs to change. I'm particularly effective in situations where commitment and effort are present, but clarity is missing.

If that's where you are right now, I can help.

What changes

This isn't about adding more training. It's about getting the tools, clarity, and confidence to use what you already have.

Confidence Coaching

One-on-one sessions focused on the mental side of racing — how you think, prepare, and respond under pressure.

  • Managing pressure and pre-race anxiety
  • Building self-trust and belief
  • Competing with clarity, not fear
  • Performing when it counts

Race Analysis

Frame-by-frame video breakdowns with voiceover commentary — identifying exactly where time is being left and how to race smarter.

  • Video-based race breakdowns
  • Pacing and split strategy
  • Starts, turns, and underwaters
  • Custom race plan development

Technical Gap Analysis

A detailed assessment of stroke mechanics, body position, and timing — pinpointing the specific limiters holding you back.

  • Stroke-level assessment
  • Efficiency and propulsion analysis
  • Identifying performance limiters
  • Clear development plan

How it works

1

Conversation

We start with a conversation about where you are, where you want to go, and what's been getting in the way.

2

Assessment

Race video analysis, technical assessment, and a confidence and mental skills evaluation — we identify the gaps across both the physical and mental side of performance.

Ongoing Support

Regular check-ins covering race strategy, technical development, and mental skills coaching — building the confidence and self-trust you need to perform under pressure.

Is this right for you?

This is for you if:

  • You train consistently and are serious about improvement
  • You've plateaued or underperform at competitions
  • You want to develop confidence and mental toughness alongside technique
  • You're looking for expert support that complements your club coaching

This is not:

  • A replacement for your club coach or daily training
  • A quick fix or one-session solution
  • A generic online program — every engagement is individualized

I support coaches. I don't replace them.

Your club coach is the foundation. My role is to complement that work — providing specialist support in areas like race strategy, confidence, and technical analysis that most team environments don't have the bandwidth to address individually. I prioritize alignment and transparency with every coaching team involved.

"Eric helped me become a far better swimmer, especially technique-wise. He always took the time to understand who I was as both an athlete and a person, and helped guide me toward the next stage of my career."

Common questions

Can I do this alongside my club training?

Yes — that's how it's designed. I work around your existing schedule and club program. Everything I do is meant to complement your daily coaching, not compete with it.

Do I need to be elite level?

No. I work with competitive swimmers at all levels — from age group athletes to national team swimmers. What matters is that you're motivated, consistent in training, and ready to invest in your development.

How does the coaching actually work? Is it in person?

It depends on the situation. Race analysis and confidence coaching are delivered remotely via video calls and recorded breakdowns. For athletes in the same location, in-person sessions are possible. We'll figure out the right format in our first conversation.

How often will I hear from you?

That depends on the engagement, but all athletes get regular check-ins and direct communication. You'll never feel left waiting — I'm responsive and hands-on.

Let's find out if it's the right fit

Every engagement starts with a conversation. No commitment, no pressure — just clarity on what's possible.

I work with a small number of athletes at a time to ensure the quality of every engagement.
