On this USA Diving podcast, hosted by High-Performance Manager Leslie Adams, we will be interviewing USA Diving member coaches, athletes and other members of our community to explore ways that we can continue to grow the sport of Diving and become better
Renowned coach and 1980 Olympian Dave Burgering discusses his thoughts on coaching, how he dealt with the 1980 boycott and shares advice for athletes who have their sites set on Tokyo 2020.
Michelle is a 2000 Olympian, Co-Head Coach of Coral Springs Diving Club in Coral Springs, Florida, and a mom of two. During this episode of The Deep End, Michelle discusses how the balancing act of full time coaching with family life and the importance of still making time for self-care. Editor's Note: During this episode, Michelle speaks on balancing childcare with two working parents and mentions her children attending diving practices with her. USA Diving leaves decisions regarding children on deck during practice up to the individual aquatic center's policies with the individual coach assuming the risk. We would like to clarify that non-competing children can not and should not be on deck during any USA Diving sanctioned meet.
In this week's episode, Leslie will be speaking with Lee Michaud, newly appointed President of USA Diving. Lee will be giving our listeners an update on the organization's direction and current initiatives as well as answer questions submitted by members.
