The Coaching Wizard: Guiding and Motivating Generations of Aquatic and Civic Learners Through AI-Powered Mentorship That Transforms Water-Based Wisdom Into Waves of Lifelong Leadership, Personalized Learning, and Community Impact.
The Coaching Wizard is a bold new initiative to prototype an AI-powered mentorship and learning platform that transforms how aquatic instructors, youth leaders, and civic educators grow, teach, and lead. Designed to work within and across schools, community pools, recreation centers, and underutilized civic spaces, this idea reimagines the role of coaching as a personalized, lifelong, and community-embedded learning journey.
At its core, the Coaching Wizard blends emerging technologies with proven pedagogical approaches. The platform delivers AI-generated insights, adaptive learning content, and motivational nudges to coaches and youth in real timeâhelping them refine skills, develop leadership capacities, and support others. From new swim instructors seeking certification to youth transitioning into mentorship roles, the Coaching Wizard guides learners along individualized pathways that emphasize both personal mastery and public impact.
The initiative integrates with the proposed ISCAâs I-League, which activates schools and pools lacking robust programming, and with U CAN Swim, which supplies professional development and mentoring for aquatic educators. Together, these elements create a complete ecosystem for lifespan learning -- from learning to swim, to leading swim teams, to applying those leadership skills in civic, entrepreneurial, or public health contexts.
With full funding, ($50K), we would scale The Coaching Wizard into a multi-site, multi-platform pilot that engages a diverse network of learners, coaches, and civic partners across western Pennsylvania and the broader ISCA ecosystem. This expanded version would activate the full potential of our digital infrastructure and programmatic partnerships to rigorously test the transformational power of AI-enhanced mentorship.

Jump Cut #17 dives into the intriguing intersection of technology and childhood development. The digital age is reshaping the way kids grow and learn, and Ed Tech is not a healthy trend, as per a wonderful speech by Sophie Winkleman of the UK.
Play water polo and put down the mobile device!
Gain insights from Coach Mark on empowering adults to guide the younger generation.
Understand the impact of constant device presence on social skill development.
Learn about Sophie Winkleman's observations on screens affecting classroom and social interactions.
Consider the long-term effects of technology-induced isolation on children.
Link to Sophie Winklemn's talk on YouTube.
In today's digital world, technology is an integral part of our daily lives. Children are growing up in an era where digital devices are ubiquitous. But what does this mean for their development? A recent discussion delved into this topic, using the seemingly simple rule of "no phones in the water polo pool" as a springboard to explore the broader implications of technology on childhood development. Let's consider how we can better navigate this digital age for the benefit of our children and still use AI.
The Role of Technology in Kids' Lives
The conversation began with a seemingly straightforward rule: no phones in the water polo pool. While this rule is practical, it opens up a deeper discussion about the role of technology in children's lives. The presence of digital devices is not just limited to structured settings like sports games; it permeates every aspect of their daily interactions. This constant connectivity raises questions about how technology is shaping the social skills and development of young people.
Empowering Adults to Guide the Next Generation
One of the key insights from the discussion was the importance of empowering adultsâteachers, coaches, and mentorsârather than focusing solely on providing the latest gadgets to children. Coach Mark, a featured speaker, emphasized the need to equip adults with the skills and confidence to guide young people effectively. By doing so, we can ensure that technology is used as a tool for empowerment rather than a distraction.
For instance, Coach Mark highlighted the shortage of swimming coaches as a practical example. By training more adults to become effective coaches, we can use technology to enhance their teaching methods and ultimately benefit the children they mentor. This approach shifts the focus from technology itself to the people who can make a meaningful impact on children's lives.
The Importance of Social Skills in the Digital Age
Another critical point raised was the impact of technology on social skills. The constant presence of devices, even outside formal settings, can hinder the development of crucial social skills. Coach Mark's podcast, "Heavy or Not," explores the idea that playing well with others is a skill that needs to be taught, reinforced, and valued. The initial image of no phones in the water polo pool serves as a metaphor for the broader issue of how technology affects social interactions.
When children are glued to their screens, they miss out on learning essential social cues, reading body language, and negotiating face-to-face interactions. This shift from the exuberance of youth to what Sophie Winkleman describes as "anxious, irritable insularity" is concerning. It raises questions about the long-term effects of such isolation on children's ability to navigate social situations.
As we continue to embrace technology in our lives, it's crucial to consider its impact on the next generation. The discussion highlighted the importance of empowering adults to guide children and the need to prioritize the development of social skills in the digital age. By focusing on these aspects, we can ensure that technology serves as a tool for growth rather than a barrier to development.
In conclusion, the rule of no phones in the water polo pool is more than just a guideline for a game; it's a reminder of the broader implications of technology on childhood development. By understanding and addressing these issues, we can create a balanced approach that allows children to thrive in a digital world while preserving the essential skills they need to succeed in life.

We have a 13th episode.
We were blessed and fortunate and made a trip to Equator and the Galapagos Islands â and our ship, the Isabella II, had no cabin #13. Stay tuned for some housekeeping on past and future content â after we hear some epic content from an O.G. â Wayne Goldsmith.
The essence of coaching is an art and its roots are in changes. People of sports are change makers. The heavy part of sports and coaching is emphasizing that it's not just about the technical aspects like volume, intensity, and frequency. Sports and coaching is about inspiring athletes through emotional connections. Anyone can access workout content. The true difference between a good coach and an exceptional one lies in the intent behind the coaching. Let's focus on building relationships among athletes and people of sport. Leaders and coaches are great at inspiring people to make choices that elevate their performance. More from Wayne Goldsmith Letâs take a look at the first dozen jump cuts for Heavy Or Not. Allow a moment for clarification and housekeeping.Iâm Mark Rauterkus, long-time journeyman coach, publisher and advocate in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Jump Cuts are not SHOW episodes. The long-term destiny for Heavy Or Not is as a SHOW with a production team and broadcast quality episodes. The show treatment is published at U CAN Swim. Org / heavy-or-not. If those in Hollywood or at ESPN or Disney are interest â give me a call.
These jump cuts are delivered with a number, more like a lap in our journey of life. Another aim of the jump cuts is to find our voice, use the tools and AI and engage with our aquatic community.
Subscribe. Review. Refer to others. Heavy Or Not is now available on all podcast outlets.
Do wade into the archives of these timeless and evergreen bits of wisdom. Jump Cut #01 covered the mindset for an athlete. #02 was more technical with swim drills and kicking #03 peeked into AI in sports #04 went hyper-local into aquatics in Pittsburgh Public Schools #05 covered Maglischoâs and Daylands intel gathering in Europe #06 made us think about mentors and work and play #07 asked about lifting and what ages to starting #08 was a recap from Steveâs Competitive Swimmer Magazine #09 peeked into the ebook, Readings from the Book of Coach Mark #10 was a beat down on the 20-minute film, A Swim Lesson. #11 introduced Barry Healey from BC â much more with him is upcoming. #12 covered supplements #13 â OG Wayne Goldsmith, always a source of wisdom. The next jump cut #14 presents a mind journey.A recent panel discussion from big-time coaches at the Eastern States Clinic is worth listening in a future LAP.
Considering what Wayne Goldsmith preached as the technical aspects: Volume, Intensity and Frequency. These jump cuts for Heavy Or Not could strive for a daily frequency â but that would cause burnout. Thatâs a golden rule of mine â Donât Burn Out. Live to fight another day. We have enough content to make this daily, but then nothing else would get done with those other looming, big projects.
So, expect Heavy Or Not to drop two times a week, on Mondays and Thursday, moving into the future.
Weâll also be turning up the intensity with IT solutions. Our digital world in swimming and sports is pretty wacked. Iâm not happy with the tools we have throughout our shared landscape. Weâre going to bring new solutions to the marketplace and weâll talk about them here, within these jump cuts. You, your teams, your schools and your athletes are going to want to say in the loop.
Just hours ago I got some great news from an O.G. that all of your you should know,Doctor Ernie Maglischo. He is a member of the ISCA Hall of Fame â and he has been one of our greatest authors. Well, he just re-wrote and delivered[to me a whole new section, fully updated on PROPULSION.
Wow. We will bring that out as soon as possible.
The next huge upcoming event is the release of a set of books from Sport Psychologist from Canada, John Hogg.His Mental Skills for Young Athletes is a universal book for all youngsters. Furthermore, he has specific books geared to those of different age groups for swimming.
Have you seen or heard the other ISCA supported podcast from Summer Fink called Lane One?She talks with coach and dad, Joe Finke and another episode is with Mark Berandino.
The interactive parts of Heavy Or Not are coming soon.Think about what youâd like to share.
Clinics.The Eastern States Clinic in the Philly area, Central States Clinic in Chicago-land and the International Swimming Hall of Fame Clinics in Fort Lauderdale have had a change of ownership, again. Sue Davis, long time coach at Swarthmore, retired, was a cornerstone of those events for decades along with others â such as Peter Dayland. Mark Schubert has partial ownership â and recently, other fractional owners of Doug Fonder and Brad Glenn have departed and Coach Schubert has picked up ASCA, the American Swim Coaches Association as a partner. More on clinics and from clinics are sure to be woven into future jump cuts.
A three part series for starting and coaching water polo, geared especially to swim coaches, is coming with the seminars of WAFSU.org â World Aquatic Federation of Schools & Universities. See W-A-F-S-U dot Org.
Dozens of past seminars are in the WAFSU.org LMS already.
Parting question. What other podcasts do you listen too?In our family, weâre sad to hear of the termination of the ABC / Disney pod, 538.
Personally, I was also sad to miss the big high school swim meet in my backyard â the WPIAL Swimming Championship â District 7 of the PIAA. I had been lucky to serve as the color broadcaster in past seasons.
How did Westmorland Sports Network do?The NFHS Network has been gobbling up the rights to high school meets. So, next question.
How is the NFHS doing with the promotion of high school swimming and diving (as well as other sports) in your neck of the woods?Chime in.

Revitalizing Aquatic Programs in Pittsburgh Public Schools, a hyper-local conversation, is going to take lots of cooperation with outside helpers and a new attitude from the Superintendent.
Critical Need for Aquatic Education: Swimming is a vital life skill, but access to programs in Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) is severely limited, particularly for underserved communities. Barriers to Participation: Limited staffing, resources, outdated infrastructure, and negative perceptions of swimming act as barriers to student engagement. Innovative Solutions: Leveraging existing resources through collaboration with community organizations, implementing game-based learning, and empowering older students as instructors are key to revitalizing programs.
Most Important Ideas/Facts: Current State of Aquatics: Limited Exposure: Many secondary students receive only 3-4 weeks of swimming instruction annually, while elementary exposure is even more scarce. Outdated Infrastructure: "Large, single-space locker rooms lack the privacy many prefer. Consequently, students opt to change into and out of swim suits within bathroom/toilet stalls."
This discourages participation. Underutilized Facilities: PPS has 12+ pools, mostly unused outside school hours, representing a significant missed opportunity. Lack of Summer Programming: The absence of summer programs in 2025 will contribute to learning loss. Barriers to Participation: Staffing and Resources: Overwhelmed teachers, scheduling conflicts, and limited funding hinder program expansion. Negative Perceptions: Swimming is often seen as unappealing or intimidating, particularly for students with limited prior exposure. Logistical Challenges: Securing long-term pool permits and fostering collaboration between PPS and stakeholders present significant hurdles.
Innovative Solutions: Collaboration: Partnering with Citiparks for All-City Sports Camps and leveraging resources from organizations like The Ellis School can expand program reach. Game-Based Learning: Incorporating games like SKWIM, as noted by Mark Rauterkus, can make swimming enjoyable and foster skill development. Student Empowerment: Training older students as swim instructors and lifeguards can create a sustainable model and provide job skills. Maximizing Pool Usage: Expanding activities to evenings, weekends, holidays, and summer breaks can optimize existing facilities. Key Recommendations: Create an "Aquatics Czar" position: A dedicated department within PPS can strategically address the challenges and opportunities related to aquatics. Invest in Game-Based Learning: Implement SKWIM and similar activities to enhance engagement and skill development. Prioritize Older Students: Focus on programs for older students initially to build a strong foundation for future expansion to younger grades. Secure Long-Term Pool Permits: Advocate for policies that allow for consistent scheduling and program planning. Develop a Holistic Approach: Cater to various skill levels and interests, including competitive swimming, instructor training, and lifeguarding. Quotes: "The full potential of our school pools remains untapped due to a lack of priorities and decisive leadership from the mayor and superintendent."
Mark Rauterkus "The pools are already paid for. More swimmers won't wear out the water."
Revitalizing Aquatic Programs: A Call to Action for Our Schools and Communities "We need a model that has the older kids teaching the younger kids. Then the program can blossom with fewer adult teachers and coaches."
Revitalizing Aquatic Programs: A Call to Action for Our Schools and Communities "In a real-world, dynamic setting, an aquatics program should strive to get the older kids to be the ones teaching the younger kids. Everyone wins and likes to get involved."
Mark Rauterkus Conclusion: Revitalizing aquatic programs in PPS requires a collaborative effort between the school district, community organizations, and city leadership. By prioritizing aquatic education, implementing innovative solutions, and addressing existing barriers, PPS can ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn this essential life skill.
