Throughout quarantine, I’ve realized there are TONS of swim coaches out there looking to better understand social media. I’ve had tons of coaches reach out to me to help them learn how to better connect with their swimmers and promote their team through the online realm. While this type of work environment is nothing new […]
What if I told you that you could become a FASTER Breaststroke swimmer, not by spending more time in the pool, but by spending more time outside of it – in the gym, on the “Dryland” as swimmers like to call it! As we all know, Breaststroke is one of the most power-intensive strokes in […]
Quarantine? Yeah, we get it. It’s getting pretty rough. The exciting news is (some) states are starting to look like they are going to open up soon. The bad news is other states aren’t! No matter where you are in the USA or world, I figured I’d go ahead and write up a short blog […]
Welcome back to Episode 5 of our Social Isolation Podcast. This week, our podcast is broken up into 3 videos.

The second video […]
There’s LOADS and LOADS of blogs out there describing the BEST dryland exercises for swimmers. You could almost spend hours, if not days searching through the web on resistance band exercises, dryland training tools, and fitness tips for swimmers stuck in quarantine at this time — but, what most of these blogs are missing is […]
All, welcome back to Episode 4 of the Social Isolation Podcast. This week, we are back with Nate Knopf talking about the GREATEST Rivalry that never happened (aka Michael Phelps SWIMMING Ian Thorpe)!

All! As you know last week, I co-hosted a webinar with Olympian, Samantha Livingstone from Livingstone High Performance. This webinar was SUPER well attended, and gave our audience some great nuggets of information to help them during this time! With that, I decided I’d like to open up this webinar to ANY swimmer or coach […]
Welcome back to Episode 3 of our Social Isolation Podcast! This week, I’m sharing with you a discussion I had with Head Coach, Matt Grant, and the swimmers of Valdosta Aquatics. If you missed episode 2, click here! Matt approached me a few weeks ago about some talks he is giving for his swimmers to […]
Stuck in quarantine? Yeah, me too. I was actually just writing a social media post when it dawned on me that there are many swimming coaches out there SCRAMBLING to try and figure out what to do for their swimmers. It was almost like a lightbulb went off in my brain, because I was like […]
A few years back I wrote an article for Alert Diver Magazine, and it dawned on me that that article IS very relevant to all swimmers right now. After all, you can find hours upon hours of content from coaches claiming — THESE are the BEST Swimming Resistance Band Exercises, but who actually know, right? […]
Welcome back to Episode 2 of our Social Isolation Podcast! This week, I’m releasing an exclusive interview I had with Director of Swimming at Brisbane Grammar School, David Lush.

I’ve done a lot of interviews in my life now, but this one STILL sticks out in my mind. A couple years ago I was on deck with David Lush swim coach, who is best known for being Emily Seebohm’s coach. David coaches a club team out of Brisbane Grammar School. He is also the […]
