Preface to the article of Martin Truijens «SCIENCE MEETS PRACTICE»
The experience of the swimming coach Martin Truijens is interesting at least because of successes achieved with the Dutch swimmer Femke Heemskerk (Olympic champion in Beijing, 2008) and with the Danish sportswoman Pernilla Blume (champion of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, 2016). These and other results of the work of Martin Truijens testify, on the one hand, about the importance of the coach’s role in sports training, and on the other — the importance of training methods for athletes, which the coach uses in his work.
