Loved Bob Q's comments about fluency and people who (still) stutter conducting successful therapy. It reminds me that when I was in college I went out for the swimming team. I wasn't much of a swimmer and had absolutely NO technique. Our coach Mort couldn't swim at all. But he was a great man cared about us and knew about training. From his experience in the Marines during and following WWII, he knew about leadership and how to bring us together. He knew how to organize our workouts and modeled for us how to go far beyond what we thought we could. Our team eventualy did very well, I actually learned how to swim, broke several school and conference records and won some nice medals. And you know what, our swim coach, never did learn how to swim.
