On today's episode of SPORTS + LIFE + BALANCE, John Moffet is joined by John Naber, a former competition swimmer, 4-time Olympic gold medalist, and tv commentator. With decades of Olympic experience, as a former athlete to his current place on the Board of Directors for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic committee, John knows what it takes for an athlete to truly succeed at the Olympic games. Today, he shares the sacrifices he made for his sport and how his gold medal wins changed his life's trajectory.
John Naber has quite the resume in the world of swimming. From swimmer to ambassador to writer to motivational speaker to broadcaster to member of the Olympic Organizing Committee, John has done it all! In 1976 at the Summer Olympics in Montreal, John won 5 medals (4 gold, 1 silver) to become the most decorated Olympian from those games. Within those 5 medal-winning swims, John also came away with multiple world records that would stand for nearly 8 years! Please enjoy our interview with John as he walks us through his life before, during and after competitive swimming!
We sat down with John Naber, who won 5 medals at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. At those Montreal Games, the USA Men's swim team was perhaps the most dominant in Olympic history, and Naber was one of the winningest athletes on that team, garnering 4 gold medals. However, Naber claims that his 5th medal, a silver in the 200 free, might have been his best performance of those games.

In this Gold Medal Minute takeover of the SwimSwam Podcast with three-time 2016 Olympic Champion Ryan Murphy, we cover backstroke, but also hit on some interesting topics you might like. For example: Do the Team USA backstroke legends get together and hangout? There are a lot of them, like Murph, Matt Grevers, Aaron Peirsol, Lenny Krayzelburg, Jeff Rouse, David Berkoff, Rick Carey and John Naber. (Who is the coolest and/or weirdest among them?) From the famous and storied Bolles School days, who is more fun to hang out with, Joe Schooling or Caeleb Dressel? And, does Murph have a future as a Cornhole pro athlete? (He does, but not if the richest man on earth, Jeff Bezos, is delivering the Cornhole kit. This is not a joke. Bezos factors into Murph's answer.) In this podcast, we don't hold back, and Murph delivers. Murph even provides a backstroke clinic, and we learn what gains he's made while not training in a pool. Is that possible? Yes. It is. Murphy's focused, positive, and he's made use of his COVID-19 shutdown time.

Trever Gray asks a two part question that we take most of the runtime to discuss. What was one of my most-read books as a kid? Why were Duke Kahanamoku and Doc Counsilman ahead of their times? Was a John Naber interview the first time I felt the heat online?That and more on this 100th episode with Trever Gray asking the questions. Plus, Olympic Darkhorse. Permalink
It's Thanksgiving Day weekend in the US, which means Jill and Alison are busy carbo loading (well, to be fair, Jill's doing a 5K too). This week we debut a recurring segment: The Lightning Round. In recent months we've asked our interviewees the same 5 questions. Hear how Olympic judo coach Jimmy Pedro, Olympic rower Tessa Gobbo and Olympic swimmer John Naber answer them. It's perfect listening while you wait to baste your turkey or prepare other Thanksgiving foods....and if this isn't your holiday, you get a nice, short episode! We'll be back next week with Kim Rhode, who dishes on some of her favorite Olympic memories. Let's just say that the Atlanta Olympic Village sounded like such a fun place! Thank you for listening. This week, especially, we can't say thank you enough. Until next time, keep the flame alive! DISCLAIMER: OLYMPIC® is a trademark of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (“USOPC”).

Happy Anniversary to us! That's right--one year ago this week, we launched our very first episode (you want to go back and listen, right?.....Maybe not. We didn't really get into a groove until a few episodes in)! It's been a year of amazing adventures and fascinating Olympic stories, and this week's guest is no exception. We continue what seems to be a Montreal theme this year and sit down with swimming legend John Naber. John was the golden boy of the 1976 Montreal Olympics, winning four gold medals and one silver medal, and setting multiple world records that held up for years. John talks about swimming, his Montreal experience, his career as a broadcaster and his work with Olympians for Olympians Relief Fund. And we talk about the puzzle that is this week's show pic and the fact that Jill has not yet been able to get that quarter out. You better believe you'll hear about it when she does. Follow John on Twitter and Facebook! We also have some great news about the USOC's decision to create equity between Olympians and Paralympians in terms of medalist monetary awards. Check out Oksana Masters' reaction. Plus, we try to make sense of WADA's decision to readmit RUSADA. Thanks for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!
