1) Do not refer to the young lad as a knucklehead. You used his name. Wow! That is poor leadership. I am sure you demonstrate similar psychological leakage around the kids.
2) A coach of high school female swimmers I know has all female high school swimmers demonstrate they are capable of sub-33 second 50 yard freestyle before they are considered varsity for any event. If you want to help the lad, get him to be a sub-30 second 200 metres sprinter. You may need to video him sprinting 200m. You two may need to review him in super slow motion. Once you get him sub-30 seconds for 200metres, tell him just slightly slower for 400m. [If the kid is under 15% body fat with no disabilities, this should work.]
You are welcome!
