The three-time national championship coach Bob Bowman of the UT men’s swimming and diving team (and also Olympic coach) had a great post on Twitter this morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great stuff 

Love this, Bobby!  Thx for sharing. I think Sark is currently wrestling with #8 and when he breaks through we are all gonna be very happy. 

Chances for success improve when you can keep it simple so everyone can relate to the lessons. Excellent points. Lots to take away. Thank you Mr Burton!

“Let them fail while it’s cheap” is a phenomenal outlook and way to describe it

#6 is beautiful 

Awesome stuff...would love to see footage of him at practice....thanks Bobby!

Damn, no wonder I’m 🗑️ 

Holy crap.  That is motivating. I suck at swimming but I’m ready to get in the pool. Uhhh, never mind I’ll stick to sports on land.

Bowman somehow made laps sound like a life reset, then the chlorine reality kicks in :D

My kids both swam and placed in state meets in Oklahoma when we were so unfortunate to live there. Their workouts were intense.  I ran 62 miles in 24 hours once but I could never do what they did. 

Great Stuff.  Humility and coachability are up there as well.  Athletes who put the team before personnel success.
