If we could go back and buy stock in Brooks Curry, we'd be rich. Fewer swimmers have a hotter hand right now. Makes Olympic team (wins gold on relay). SEC champ (beats a Dressel meet record). Pulls the double at NCAAs 50/100 free. Earns individual swim at Worlds (makes final, 5th, goes 47). He just keeps getting faster, and is proving time after time to have great swims when it matters most. So, what's the secret to Brooks' success? Will LSU become a powerhouse? What inspired his infamous mullet? Listen as we go into the mind of Brooks Curry. Enjoy

Björn Seeliger is a 22 year old Swedish Olympic sprinter. A sophomore at the University of California, he is fresh off winning the team title at NCAA's. Björn collected two silver medals in the 50 and 100 Freestyles just behind Brooks Curry. Leading off the 200 Free Relay, he dropped the 2nd fastest 50 SCY Free ever: 18.27. Oh, and the fastest 50 Backstroke (20.08) in history! A student of the sport, Brett and Björn break down everything. How Ryan Murphy helped him perfect his backstroke start.

In this unique 2-part episode of the show, Steve swaps his role as the interviewer for the show and becomes the interviewee as his buddy, Pat Fellows (Owner of Fresh Junkie & Host of Fresh Junkie Radio) sits down as the host and guides the conversation for this fun spin on the show. Here in Part 2 we get to learn about the more recents successes and happenings in Steve's coaching career, starting with the work he did as the coach to first-time US Olympian and Gold medalist, Brooks Curry in his rise to stardom this past summer. Furthermore, Steve has made a big career decision recently to step away from swim coaching and pursue a career in coaching on a much wider scale.  In addition to discussing the value of goal-setting, a big part of the discussion in this episode is based around a concept Steve presents he calls "the minimum standard". Steve & Pat discuss the notion that through implementing a minimum standard we establish the expectations we must embrace of ourselves in order to pursue our potential, our goals, and our optimal self.  If you enjoyed some of the talking points from both parts of this 2-part installment of the show, be sure to reach out and connect with Steve Mellor at Careercompetitorpodcast@gmail.com to find out more about the services he now provides in relation to a wide variety of coaching.

This week on Talking Tigs:0:00 Introduction2:13 Texas and Oklahoma announce their departure from the Big 12 for the SEC! What will this mean for college sports and LSU?39:40 LSU swimmer Brooks Curry wins Olympic Gold! Thanks for listening, Subscribe, Share, and Geaux Tigers!

Every path to the Olympics is unique. Part of that is sheer math. It's highly unlikely that all 10,000+ athlete who represent their countries every fourth summer are going to share tons of biographical overlap. But Brooks Curry's story is especially interesting. He's the under-recruited, highly-doubted, mullet-haired, jorts-creating-and-sporting surprise of the USA Swimming setup this summer, a Georgia kid who found his way to LSU and then to an SEC Championship and finally to the Olympics. What a delight this conversation was, from the story of how he dreamed of making the Olympics -- although maybe not quite this soon -- to why he bought thrift store jorts and covered them in purple and gold paint, a perfect fit for national television after shocking the world.

The LSU men's swimming team closed out the 2021 SEC Championships with a bang as Brooks Curry brought him his third medal of the meet and set another school record. Along with Curry, David Boylan closed out the meet by swimming a career best time in the 200-Yard Butterfly.

It was an action-packed night for the Tigers as sophomore Brooks Curry brought home yet another bronze medal in the 200-Yard Freestyle and freshman Mitch Mason rebroke his school record in the 100-Yard Breaststroke on the third night of the 2021 SEC Championships. The Tigers will be back in action tomorrow as prelims will begin at 10 a.m. CT from inside the Mizzou Aquatic Center in Columbia, Missouri.

LSU swimmer Brooks Curry brought home the bronze medal in the 50-Yard Freestyle on the second night of the 2021 SEC Championships. The Tigers will be back in action tomorrow as prelims will begin at 10 a.m. CT from inside the Mizzou Aquatic Center in Columbia, Missouri.

We sat down with Brooks Curry, the unofficial breakout swimmer of the year in the NCAA. Brooks took us through his first season at LSU and his first SEC Championships, where he registered a 1:32.4 200 free for 2nd place and a 41.8 to take the SEC title in the 100 free as a freshman.  Click here to listen and subscribe on Spotify Click here to listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts Click here to listen and subscribe on Podbean Click here to listen and subscribe on Google Click here to listen and subscribe on YouTube Music: Otis McDonaldwww.otismacmusic.com
