We are all trying to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic as best we can. Staying at home and not socializing is not an easy task for anyone, and keeping a swimmer out of the pool is equally antagonizing. Therefore, SwimSwam is starting the Swimming From Home Talk Show, where host Coleman Hodges speaks with the swimming community about how they’re coping with our current goggle-less reality.
University of North Carolina Associate Head Coach Jack Brown sat down and discussed his take on the steps to moving forward during the Coronavirus pandemic. Brown got his Doctorate in sports psychology, so I think his perspective might be a little different than most. He says the first thing the UNC coaching staff was take swimming out of the equation for the athletes.
They’ve been focusing on building relationships with their athletes as people during this time and encouraging them to rekindle hobbies that they may have given up because of swimming.
Knowing he has a phd as a sports psychologist put a different spin on the interview for me.
Another Fulton County Swim League alum done well! 👍
Congratulations Jack. 👍👍
Jack Brown is amazing! Keeping crushing it at UNC!
