An interview with Open Water Swedish National Coach Mikael Rosen. He is a long time swimmer and coach. He has competed and coached at the highest levels of the sport and recently wrote a book entitled, Open Water: History and Technique of Swimming. The book covers 100+ years of swimming history and goes into detail how the best in the sport compete and find success. Anyone interested in swimming should get this book.
Great Coffee, Beer, Coaching and Dogs interview with GP Marathon Open Water Swimmer and Coach, Lexie Kelly. We talk about her background in swimming, the coaches who had the most impact on her coaching and racing career.
This an interesting interview with swim coach Don Swartz. He gave a talk in the early 1980s at an ASCA conference titled, "Nonsense and the Beginner's Mind: Looking for a Quantum Leap." It was his challenge to the swim coaching community to look for a better way to train athletes. It is as relevant then as it is now. Enjoy.
Great interview with the inventor of the Brick Kickboard, James Fike. We spend a good deal of the time talking about his post collegiate swimming career and how even after swimming at the University of Texas he has been able to hit his best times 17 years later. We also talk about the development of the Brick Kickboard and how he wants to grow Fike Swim going forward.
in this episode we talk with former NCAA Division I distance swimmer turned triathlete, Erin Sosdian. Erin is an athlete I have coached for 5 years and the first athlete I coached in swim/bike/run. We talk about the training that helped to qualify her for 70.3 Worlds and Kona and the process of mastering the skill of racing long distance triathlons.
Bruce Beall is a long time rowing coach and former US Olympic Rower. He started his coaching career on the East Coast in the 1970s. In the early 1980s, he teamed up with Jon Kabat-Zinn on the application of mindfulness on competitive rowers while Beall was the rowing coach at Harvard. In this episode we talk about that time and what he has learned over the years as coach and where mindfulness fits in.
Special episode 12 is with Team Veranadra. Vanessa, Dana, Fernanda and Sandra all came to me a couple years ago and said they wanted to compete in El Cruce - a 10k open water race in Mexico. This is an interview with Vanessa, Fernanda and Sandra about their training and the race. It's a fun time with great people who make up Magnolia Masters.
Episode 24 is an interesting interview with a Alex Coates who is a former professional triathlete and currently working on her PhD in Exercise Physiology with an emphasis on overtraining in athletes. We discuss some of the long held ideas in endurance training like Super Compensation on how there might be better ways to train. We also talk about some of the early signs of overtraining or really under recovering and what they might be.
A couple short, compact interviews with a few of the professional triathletes in attendance at the Magnolia Masters Pro Camp. We talk about their careers, how and why they became a pro and what their goals are going forward.
A little trip down amnesia lane with long time professional triathlete Justin Daerr. We talk about his career in triathlon and his ideas around training and racing.
Episode 23 is a great interview with Dr. Keith Kaufman. He is a codeveloper of Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement. They recently published a book on their protocol for the mental training side of sports enhancement. There is a growing body of research, particularly for endurance sports, on the importance of the brain in peak performance. MSPE is a well researched and studied intervention to begin to train the brain for better performance.
Episode 22 features Jake Rauchbach a basketball coach and integrated player development coach who works and consults with Olympic, professional and collegiate athletes. Jake has employed high performance mindfulness with players to achieve quantifiable performance increases on the court. We talk about the opportunities with high performance mindfulness, the obstacles to implementing it with coaches as a consultant and where the future is with these interesting approaches to training the whole athlete.
Episode 21 is with Dr. Sue Jackson who published in 1999 Flow in Sports. It's a great book that details athletes in flow states. She covers all of the pre-conditions for flow to occur and describes some of the unusual perceptions that athletes have while in flow. If a coach or athlete is looking for untapped potential within their sport this book is a great place to start.
In this special episode we talk with Magnolia Masters team member Deena Williams. She shares her story on her successful race at the 11 mile Portland Bridge Swim. We discuss her training, things that surprised and things that didn't and what it's like to swim 11 miles in Portland without a wetsuit in sub 70 degree water. Deena has been a great athlete to work with and I look forward to helping her with her next big swim goal.
Brad Cooper is CEO of a Health and Wellness Company. He is an 11x Ironman Finisher having competed multiple times at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii and at 52 he is completing his PhD on Functional Mental Toughness. In this episode we dive into what is Mental Toughness and is it possible to cultivate and access it at any time. Brad has done a lot of interesting work on this topic and is putting together a program so anyone can increase their mental toughness in a race or in their daily lives.
This is a great episode with some of the athletes who raced Ironman Texas. Balazs is a long time pro triathlete who I have coached in the swim for the last 5 years. He's usually one of the fastest swimmers at an Ironman event. The rougher the water the better. Kim Pilcher is an age group athlete who I have also coached in the swim for 5 years. She came to me after she had missed some swim cuts in Ironman and we have gotten now where she can consistently make cuts and she knows what prevents her from making cuts. Debbie Staton has been on the team for 2 years now and she had a fantastic Ironman Texas swim this year and all of her hard work is paying off. With all the athletes we talk about how they got into triathlon, what motivates them to continue and what they have learned along the way.
These were some interviews during the Magnolia Masters Pro Camp in January 2019. I've held the camp for the last years and it's always a lot of fun with a lot of athletes making some big gains in their swim. This year I decided to interview a couple of the pros and an age grouper who qualified for Kona. We talk about their careers leading up to this point and their goals in triathlon.
A great conversation with Magnolia Masters Team Member, Raul Luzardo. We talk about his time in endurance sports and his recent race at the Leadville 100 mountain bike race.
