“...How can we break this down? How can we put it into really small steps so that, every day, we can have a little success and get over a little challenge?” In this episode, Matt and Courtney chat with Cliff Devries, the Head Diving Coach at the Rochester Institute of Technology, a private research university based in Rochester, New York. Throughout his 17-year career as the Head Diving Coach for RIT, he has coached eight All-Americans and every season, has a host of divers in the mix for All-American honors.

In addition to his numerous awards and national championships, Cliff has also been featured on ESPN, USA Today, and as a TEDx speaker with his segment, “Breathe Fire.” Soon, he will be releasing a book. In this episode, Cliff gives insight into his long, successful career as a diving coach and how the mentality and techniques he uses with his divers can be applied to individuals and businesses alike.  Resources RIT athletics department website: https://www.rit.edu/athletics The Professional Diving Coaches Association website: https://prodivingcoach.org/ Cliff’s email: cliff@upstatediving.com

In the 1960s, Sandra Bucha filed a lawsuit against the Illinois High School Association, seeking to be allowed to compete on the boys swim team because no girls teams existed in the state at the time.The young athlete lost her suit, but went on to success as a marathon swimmer and eventual induction into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Bucha’s fight in the courtroom helped pave the way for passage of Title IX in federal law and equal opportunities for female athletes. Today, she is one of more than 300 female athletes who signed a letter to the National College Athletic Association asking it to defend the rights of women to compete on a level playing field.The veteran swimmer joins “Problematic Women” to share her story and explain why the transgender movement threatens to undo everything she and so many others fought for.We also talk with Christine Rousselle, a reporter for EWTN and the Catholic News Agency, about why some states have allowed often-violent protests, but not funerals and church services.

A talk with an Olympic swimming legend - Jane’s guest today is Rowdy Gaines, the renowned, three-time Olympic gold medalist and International Swimming Hall of Fame member, once known as the world’s fastest human being. Today, he’s a celebrated sportscaster and analyst for major networks such as CBS, NBC and ESPN. Yet with all his accolades and accomplishments, this greatest American sprint freestyler of his time, also faced a serious setback. Indeed, for the past twenty years he has been dealing with hearing loss. On today’s segment, Rowdy discusses how the discreet, barely visible devices made by Eargo, the leader in hearing aid technology, have make him victorious over his auditory  issues.  And you will hear Rowdy talk about how the Olympic athletes of today enhance their speed, power and stamina through the latest nutrition and training regimens. He also shares his personal nutrition and fitness program, as well as lifestyle tips on how he still keeps in top shape, physically and mentally.  All in all, Rowdy’s positive attitude and sensible advice will help us all, athletes or otherwise, look and feel Better Than Before.

Today Brett interviews 2020 International Swimming Hall of Fame Inductee, Michael Klim. They discuss how a chubby kid from Poland got to Australia. How he was "tapped on the shoulder" by Gennadi Touretski and became training partners with Alexander Popov. Being ranked #1 in the 200 Freestyle going into the 1996 Olympics and failing to make the Finals. Peeing his pants on the blocks in Prelims of the 200 Free. Doing 150 "starts" in 1 calendar year trying to break 50 seconds every time. Deliberate practice. The story behind Klim becoming a pioneer by swimming freestyle with straight arms -- through trying things in training. In this case, through different sprint drills. Sprint Drills: Dolphin Kick Freestyle. Dolphin Kick Freestyle with Head Up. Straight Arm Freestyle. Straight Arm Freestyle with Head Up. How they trained by progressing through the day...Morning would be aerobic. Middle of the day would be your threshold set. And your 3rd practice at 7PM is all explosive sprints and power. They put in 90K/100K weeks. One of Klim's Greatest Rivals: Geoff Huegill Leading up to the 2000 Sydney Games, they had a training camp that was open to the public that saw a couple thousand people walk in and observe practice every day. Brett explains leaving college swimming at Auburn early to focus on the 2000 Sydney Games, a once in a lifetime opportunity. Beating the undefeated Americans in the 4x100 Freestyle Relay in 2000. They go very in deep about this. Ian Thorpe ripped 2 or 3 suits and thus wasn't in the ready room. Klim led off that relay with a World Record time of 48.18. And much, much more!

This year that dream became a reality and I offered one in January and one in February. We had mostly women, many of them in recovery interestingly enough, and we had an amazing time." - Karlyn BooksThe Do Over Sponsor This Episode About this Episode   In 2014, I was on the island and spotted an amazing swim coach giving mini-lessons out of the demonstration Endless Pool on the main drag, across from the pier.  It was none other than Karlyn!  Eager to get into the pool and learn from her, I quickly changed into my suit and waited for my turn.  After a great lesson where she both confirmed what I was doing well and gave me some new things to experiment with, I dried off, introduced myself formally, and asked her for an interview.     She obliged, we snuck off to a grassy nook by the hotel and not only had a wonderful interview, but we also struck off an enjoyable friendship.  At the age of 53, Karlyn was to be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) joining all-time swimming greats such as Janet Evans, Mark Spitz, and Johnny Weissmuller to name a few. Competition is stiff to be considered, let alone inducted, and since its inception back in 1965 only 14 "Masters" swimmers have been honored. While an amazing accomplishment in itself, what is even more amazing is the circuitous, near-death journey she took to get there.  Along the way, Karlyn has overcome addiction, set over 300 Masters World Records, over 200 FINA World records, coached thousands of athletes, traveled the globe teaching swimming, and made her home in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Karlyn shows off her excellent high elbow catch and forearm press all while talking to the fishies.

At a time when the Australian Olympic Committee is moving away from medal targets, one sport has made its target clear: GOLD.  Jerril Rechter chats all things basketball with Shane and Nat including the expectations on the Opals and Boomers in Tokyo, the impact of Brett Brown, and why some alterations may need to be made at the Athlete’s Village. Michael Klim reflects on his career ahead of his induction into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Klim gives his thoughts on the current crop, and was his generation of swimmers the golden era of Australian swimming? Klim also puts his support behind the Australian Institute of Sport and its importance for emerging stars. Some sports at the Games are tougher than others.  Modern Pentathlon is one of those.  Ed Fernon has qualified for a second Games and takes us through the mental toll of competing at the highest level. Plus, Tokyo pulling out all stops to prevent further spread of coronavirus five months out from the Games.  And a hidden gem off the coast of Tokyo in our ‘Journeys in Japan.’ Don’t forget you can now listen via Nine’s Wide World of Sports at wwos.com.au Twitter: @ReadySetTokyo

Kona is not just the home of the Ironman World Championships, it’s also where today’s guest, Karlyn Pipes, lives.  If you haven’t heard of her, Karlyn is a world record holding Masters swimmer, a member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, and an exceptional swim coach.  When Karlyn invited me to visit her home for a 30-minute swim tutorial and to record this podcast, it was an offer I could not refuse.  Prior to starting the podcast, she asked me to swim in her Endless Pool, and proceeded to dismantle what I thought was my reasonable swim stroke (see the show notes below for links to some videos of this session).  It’s always been my belief as a coach that triathletes who are preparing to swim in open water should have their OWS goals uppermost in their mind and in their training when they practice in the pool. If you want to swim faster in open water next season, then this podcast and the below videos are a must.  Please listen carefully as Karlyn and I chat about: Her 3 basic principles for faster freestyle Why you can learn a lot from watching surfers paddle How open water swim technique is very different from pool technique Once again, another world class coach emphasizes the importance of mobility Her top tips for your winter training, which are not what you might think   To learn more about Karlyn, please visit her website at KarlynPipes.com   You can find her book, "The Do Over:  My Journey from the Depths of Addiction to World Champion Swimmer”, here on Amazon.  To watch some of Karlyn’s coaching in action and some of the guidance she gave me, please click on the links below for my YouTube channel.   1st video analysis - https://youtu.be/wqGYnLN9a7E1st effort at swimming with adjusted stroke - https://youtu.be/cZzdKgriG1EFloating with arms in Y shape - https://youtu.be/VXJlOuYRWDc   To find out more about Simon’s coaching please visit his website here.

"Aposentadoria é como a morte. Você sabe que ela chegará mas nunca está preparado" O nadador Gustavo Borges é um dos mais importantes atletas olímpicos brasileiros de todos os tempos. Nascido em Ribeirão Preto (SP), cresceu na cidade de Ituverava (SP), onde começou a nadar quando tinha 10 anos. Aos 18 ganhou reconhecimento internacional com uma impecável participação nos Jogos Pan-Americanos de 1991, disputados em Havana, Cuba. No ano seguinte faturou sua primeira medalha olímpica, uma heroica prata  conquistada nos 100 metros livres. No total foram quatro medalhas olímpicas, dezenove medalhas em Pan-Americanos e diversos recordes sul-americanos e quatro mundiais. Aposentado das competições desde 2004, após as Olimpíadas de Atenas, atualmente ele divide seu tempo entre as suas academias, as palestras e a divulgação do método que desenvolveu para o ensino da natação. Nesta semana o Trip FM recebe o maior medalhista nacional em provas de natação em Olimpíadas e Pan-Americanos, Gustavo Borges, que em maio deste ano entrou para o International Swimming Hall of Fame. Ao lado da lendária Maria Lenk, hoje ele se tornou o segundo brasileiro a integrar o Hall da Fama da natação mundial. Gustavo falou sobre Olimpíadas 2012, sobre a vitoriosa carreira, a vida fora das piscinas e o processo de separação entre ele e o esporte que o tornou famoso.   "Aposentadoria é um pouco como a morte. Você sabe que ela vai chegar mas quando chega você nunca está preparado"   "Eu sempre tive uma relação muito boa com a água e terminei minha carreira de uma forma muito bem resolvida. A natação hoje não é nem minha principal atividade física. Eu faço musculação, corrida, jogo tênis, então sou muito ativo ainda. Mas o nadar por prazer pra mim hoje é um pequeno problema. Você começa a ver como demora o processo de chegar, trocar de roupa, cair na água e etc... [risos] Hoje preciso me programar pra fazer isso. O importante é se manter sempre ativo." "O momento de se aposentar é uma perda muito grande para o atleta. Você nem pensa em parar quando está no auge e a questão do esporte é muito importante para você. E essa aposentadoria é um pouco como a morte. Você sabe que ela vai chegar mas quando chega você nunca está preparado", continuou. Com o atleta, a aposentadoria é como você chegar para a sua namorada e dizer: 'olha, eu te amo, mas em quatro anos a gente vai ter que se separar'. E um dia antes desse dia, você ainda tem muito amor pelo esporte e mesmo assim tem que se separar. É um sofrimento."   "Com toda a exposição que eu tinha, acabava ficando mais bonito"   Sempre muito bem humorado, Gustavo ainda falou sobre o assédio da mulherada nos tempos áureos de campeão olímpico, dizendo que nem só de treinamento pesado e dedicação vive uma lenda das piscinas mundiais. "Eu não era nem o maior pegador nem o maior carola do esporte [risos]. Eu era intermediário. O Xuxa (apelido do também nadador Gustavo Scherer) aprontava bem mais que eu, mas hoje ele sossegou. Quando você é jovem você tem toda aquela vontade e aquele desejo, não importa se você é atleta ou não. O quanto você apronta é que muda. Claro que com toda a exposição que eu tinha acabava ficando mais bonito [mais risos]. Esse era até um fator motivacional pra mim. [gargalhadas]."
