Friend of the show and fellow nerd, Roy Snyder, joins episode #014 the Ice Cream Sunday Podcast!
Now in his 52nd season of coaching at Wilson High School, Roy Snyder has had an unparalleled career in sustained excellence. With over 500 wins in dual meets, Snyder has won four state championships, 15 district championships and 28 league championships. The retired health and physical education teacher and athletic director at Wilson also has coached 15 individual state champions. Snyder tells Zeke that "I get more satisfaction from developing a mediocre swimmer into a good swimmer than from developing a naturally gifted swimmer into an outstanding swimmer." Under Snyder, West Lawn has become a swim capital. "We have a comprehensive swim program, teaching swimming, youth group programs, coaching kids for competition," Snyder tells Zeke. He still loves going to the pool every day because he loves working with the kids. He is coaching in his second pool at Wilson, a state-of-the-art facility now in its second season -- a facility that is used heavily by the Wilson community. Swimming is a sport of repetition, but the routine over five decades of coaching never gets old for Snyder. "The kids keep me going, working with the kids," Snyder explains. "Seeing them improve ... taking average or below average kids and making them pretty good. It's all about team. Everybody counts." When Zeke asks Snyder what has changed the most in swimming over his five decades, Snyder responds: "Weight training. Our kids are in the weight room about three times a week."
Roy Snyder tells Zeke how stressing the importance of team has been paramount to the remarkable success of the Wilson High School boys swim team this season and in previous seasons. "It's probably the team approach we have with our coaching staff," Snyder says. "And we have a great feeder program." This year's team has remarkable depth, which has enabled it to overcome the lack of individual superstars. "We have a great dual meet team," Snyder said of his Bulldogs. "This is the type of team I enjoy coaching the most." While Snyder in recent years coaches only the boys team, for many years he coached boys and girls. The legacy of the program's success draws swimmers like a magnet. "We have about 25 to 30 divers and about 200 swimmers," Snyder explains. In an era when many coaches stress focusing on one sport, Snyder says, "I encourage kids to do multiple sports. At Wilson, swimming is a seasonal sport, not year round." When Zeke asks what are the ingredients of a good swimmer, Snyder replies: "There is an ideal physique (length) but desire and motivation are more important. A lot of it has to do with a natural feel for the water and enthusiasm for the sport.
