Jack reflects on his influences, coaching philosophies, and the secrets to his incredible success in developing numerous national and Olympic champions. He shares behind-the-scenes stories about coaching (or in some cases, not coaching) iconic swimmers like Nic Fink, Courtney Shealy, and Kristy Kowal. | |
Throughout the interview, Jack's passion for the sport and care for his athletes shines through. | |
Brett and Jack also talk a little about Paris 2024, where USA Swimming currently sits, the rise of Chinese Swimming, and the importance of America focusing on long course swimming. | |
Don’t worry, I already let Brett know that this interview was about 3 hours too short. | |
