Welcome to The Shannon Rollason Podcast, a swimming podcast like no other. The Shannon Rollason Podcast is back in 2023 and on a new home here on the Off The Blocks Swimming Podcast network. This week Shannon and I discuss the art of coaching athletes and being master motivators. Shannon takes us through some of his best coaching moments of motivating and getting the best out of his athletes, as well as some of the best inspirational speeches he has heard over time. We talk about what makes the best coaches successful, and what traits all the masters in their craft have.  We talk about fear of failing both for swimmers and coaches, coaching individually in a team environment, favourite quotes and a whole lot more.
