Phelps and stroke count
Yes

Coach David Shen

Doubt!

I agree in spirit with what Coach ToddE says, about this guy possibly having gotten into your head.

I'd suggest you start with superman glide, get comfortable with your head and neck relaxed. Repeat this until you feel some degree of familiarity with this alone.
Then, on your next push-off, use...
