Ryan Lochte and Jackson Roach: what it’s like on national team

Katrina Radke talks with Ryan Lochte, eleven-time Olympic medalist, and Jackson Roach, Director of the USA Junior National Team about what it’s like on the national team: how the team gels, and how the team dynamic can really make it fun for everyone. They also talk about the support staff who keep the athletes strong and ready to race.

With World Championship Trials coming up in June, 2013, this is a great opportunity to hear a little bit of the inside scoop of what it is like. Keep training well, and know YOU could be on that team!

Sounds like an old school and new school bro that just hang out and exchange stories.

Whoever decided to give this guy a college degree should be completely ashamed.

Why are you always such a rude person (moderater edit).

Lochte’s intelligence is obviously perfectly adequate to become the top level athlete he is. He’s smart at swimming. You either respect what it takes to get to his level, or you don’t respect the sport, in my view. There are other successful swimmers (perhaps less diverse swimmers) who are academic – but they aren’t Lochte.

All accounts say that he is a very warm and humble person. What more could you ask of someone?

Absolutely LOVE the opening screen here before I even hit play. Lochte couldn’t look more like Spicoli after a trip to the salon…

I learned almost nothing from that interview. They play a lot of cards and Ryan gets worked on maybe twice a day. Check that, maybe 3 or 4 times a day?

Lochte is an incredible swimmer, but he’s not the most intellectual guy… Lol.
