What's your experience with it? Comment below 👇 At the University of Virginia we all took it and I loved it because I seemed to recover better. That was coming from the performance nutritionist of Team USA (all the Superstars basically). Creatine is the most researched supplement so I could put together a guide for parents and swimmers if you want. Let's first discuss: Who's tried it? What happened? Who's against it? Why? 🚨 VOTE: A Swimpros Guide for parents and athletes on when and how to use Creatine?

The No-Nag Method -> Get your swimmer off the phone without the war. Yes, you know exactly what I'm talking about... Whether you just watched my video or you're finding this in the group for the first time, you're in exactly the right place. Read this once and you'll know exactly what we're doing, why it works, and the one thing to do today. 🔥 What this is A short challenge (kicks off the last week of June, right here in the group) where we get your competitive teen swimmer (12+) off the phone without nagging, without confiscating, without being the bad guy. I run it with you. You, me, and your swimmer. You just follow the steps and show up. 📲 Why we don't just take the phone away After about 13, strict phone rules don't just stop working, they backfire... a teenager is wired to push back against being controlled, so every rule becomes the next thing they rebel against. It was never that you weren't trying hard enough. So we do the opposite: stop policing the kid, start changing the conditions. The 3 moves (the whole method): 1️⃣ Clear the Lane Change the environment, not the kid. Three screen-free zones (phone charges outside the bedroom, screen-free dinner, screen-free hour before bed). Most of the nightly battle just disappears. 2️⃣ Sign the Line Your swimmer says, in their own words, why this helps their swimming, picks what they'll do instead, and signs a simple agreement they actually own. When it's their idea, it sticks. This is the engine. 3️⃣ Keep the Splits Track it like a race: screen time, sleep, morning energy. They log it, watch the numbers move, and it becomes a game they want to win. What to expect Short daily steps in this group, each quick and clear. Better sleep, sharper mornings at the pool, fewer fights.... and a swimmer who's CHOOSING it. I'll be right here the whole way. Your first step 👉 Today (3 min): ONE conversation with your swimmer. Relaxed moment, phones away (yours too), then ask: "What's a goal you have in swimming that you've never really told me about?"

I have a gift for you and it's exclusive for our Skool members: The new 39-minute Confidence Mini-Course for swim parents is here!! It shows swim parents exactly what they can start doing TODAY to help build their swimmer's confidence - especially on race day!! (...without having to do much extra cuz you're busy 😊) It's available for free until Friday evening (May 29) here on Skool. 👉 Comment "GIFT" in the comments below and I'll DM you access as soon as I'm online again. After Friday, I'll move the Mini-Course to the Premium membership for $9. 👋 If we haven't met yet... Hi, I'm David Karasek and I'm a former Olympian and Swiss record holder in the 200m IM. I got lucky at the end of my career because I had the opportunity to work 1:1 with the sports psychologist of Michael Phelps… and it changed EVERYTHING in my life! I created this community for swim parents of competitive swimmers who want the best for their child, and inside you now get the 39-Minute Confidence Mini-Course, which includes: ✅ The "Gap vs Gain" lens: The 1-second brain choice 95% of swim parents make wrong at every meet, even when they don't say a word (Dan Sullivan named this 40 years ago — almost no swim parent has heard of it) ✅ The 400-kid Stanford praise study: The exact kind of praise that makes competitive teen swimmers QUIT faster when sets get ugly… and most parents use it daily without realizing ✅ The "4 Cs Cycle": Why "you've got this, sweetie!" bounces off, and the 1 stage you've been pouring all your energy into for years that doesn't actually move the needle ✅ The 4 sources of confidence - ranked - verbal praise comes in dead last. The strongest one isn't anything you say. (Hint: a 9:30pm bedtime does more work than any "good luck" text on race morning) ✅ The 2-line dinner-table swap: Drop "you crushed it" tonight. Replace with the exact words that build a Practice Champion AND a Race Day Champion (it works on the drive home too)

are there any parents that I could message that have had a child on a Tenerife camp already that has travelled solo? Just got a few questions. Thanks 😊
