Day in Life: CSTE Swimming | Coach João Visits #2

In this vlog, I head to Coronado Swim Team Elite (CSTE) to spend a day with my friend and head coach, Sam Hoekstra. I got an inside look at how this club is building toward elite performance — from focused drills in the water to detailed coach-athlete conversations on deck.

What stood out most is how CSTE is shaping its identity around precision, development, and ambition. Sam is bringing a fresh coaching mindset that connects the everyday grind with long-term vision for the swimmers.

This visit reminded me that great coaching isn’t just about big announcements or flashy sets — it’s about designing each practice with purpose and helping athletes believe in the process.
