Wishing for more backstroke sets

Some workouts just won't ever benefit my backstroke.  They are designed for freestyle.  Most other swimmers will at least swim the 50 free and therefore benefit from some freestyle work even if they swim breaststroke.  I have no future in the 50 freestyle, and that's ok.  On Tuesday morning, I found myself being the most (and only) negative person in the pool.  I was annoyed and the reason was that we weren't doing anything that would ever help my backstroke.  Since I'm the only sprint backstroker, I can't expect that all the workouts will include sets meant for me.  Almost all sets can be modified to work for backstroke but this one couldn't.  I got called out by another swimmer for being negative.  His comment was well placed.  I agreed with him and proceeded to shut my mouth.

I'm realizing that there are some glaring holes in these practices for a backstroker.  I do trust my coaches, but I also have a good idea of what I need to improve.  I need more VO2 MAX sets and more kicking.  Therefore I'll add it in myself.  I'll either modify the sets or stay afterward and do an extra set.
