DivingTube

By popular demand, a new category for funny diving videos and bloopers has been added to DivingTube. Enjoy!

Smethurst (1996) describes traditional coaching as a layered approach where the coach will follow a set of performance components (technical, tactical, physical and mental) when teaching a skill. An ecological approach focuses more on the interaction between these components an how it affects the athlete’s movement (spacial), timing (temporal) and purpose (function) of a skill. Smethurst compares this approach to the Chaos theory where even the smallest of changes in the elements of something can have enormous effects on the bigger picture.

Diving is such a precise and technical sport. Any small mistake from the diving board can mean the
difference between tears or excitement. For this reason divers spend a lot of time on the dry side of the
diving pool. We will always try to keep at least one step ahead in the dryland in the diver’s progression so
that the transition from dryside to poolside is easier and smoother and learning new dives is also easier and
smoother.
Divers, especially at a young age will spend most of their time in a diving session in the dryland area. This
should weigh up to about 70% dry and only 30% water time. Hopefully, after reading the following you will understand why we spend so much time not “diving”...

Hi,

My name is Simone Luker and I work with WFH productions.

We are currently putting together a new TV show called Knock Out Sports and we are looking for footage for the show. I stumbled across your website and wondered whether you might have any footage that would work well for our show. Are you able to license any of your footage? We are looking for hard hitting, knock out footage. I know that you have plenty of diving footage, if you do not own this footage but know of some where people hit their heads on the board, could you get me in touch with the people that own the video (those that filmed it).

Please let me know.
Thanks
