Target audience
My target audience is my team “De Golfbrekers”
Finance
According to the finance section of my idea, there are
no investments needed. Also, no start-up costs
occurred. Even when I have presented the idea in front
of the club representatives, I used my own knowledge in
MS Office, Excel and Power point. I am clearly not
researching this topic because of the revenue I may
earn.
Innovative Service
Long course swimming is not an innovative product or a
service. It is often used from swimming coaches and
swimmer, because it is the best way to prepare the
swimmer for his career and swimming.
The program itself needs more attention and time,
because it plays a big role in building a swimmer. The
most important thing for the swimmer is the swimming
base that he will get from the long course program. As
a swimmer, it's important to find both proper timing
and proper unilateral balance within your swim stroke,
which will help the swimmer to control his time laps.
Also when an individual has more time to train under
the same philosophy and training program they have
the ability to progress more rapidly than when that
consistency is not there. And last but not least, the long
course swimming will definitely improve the skills and
the techniques of the swimmer.
Reviews
When I have presented the idea to the coaches of “De
Golfbreker”, they responded to me with high interest.
Firstly, they were pessimistic about the long course
swimming, but after my presentation and detailed
information given their opinion have changed
positively. Moreover, I have only discussed the effects
on long course swimming with my swim mates because
I wanted to have as much feedback as possible. They
were excited about this new concept which may
improve their stamina and performance. Lastly, my
coach from Bulgaria gave me the needed support in
order to choose this idea.
Competences
SK7 Researching and designing sports and exercise
activities
7.1. For this project I used my own knowledge from my
background as a professional swimmer. It gave me the
opportunity to see how much I know and can, but also
how much more I can learn. But of course, didn’t stop
me for checking each of the information that I was
providing. Also I was sharing my ideas with my class
mates which were very helpful.
7.2. As a professional swimmer I’m very familiar with
strategies, techniques and planning, which of course
helped me with my idea. My product gave me the
chance to improve my planning skills, because I was
working alone, which helped me to distribute my work
on the project very well.
7.3. After years of experience in the swimming
community I have already tested the long course
swimming and the positive results.
