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. Shannon IS ON HOLIDAYS. So this week while Shannon is enjoying a well earned break, so you don’t miss out on any great insights or content, we look back at a chat Shannon had with QAS Coach Brant Best in November 2021, as the boys talk all about 2011 Shanghai World Champs, as well as sprint Freestyle. Hope you enjoy. This week Shannon welcomes special guest in World Championship winning and Olympic Coach, now QAS Coach development officer and one of the sharpest swimming minds in our business Brant Best. Brant joins Shannon to discuss the 2011 Shanghai World Champs and all the highlights and learning experiences from the major meet, including illness within the camp, preparation for the meet and of course James Magnussens incredible win in the men’s 100 Freestyle. Shannon and Brant go through Brant’s early influences in coaching as well and what lessons he still keeps with him on pool deck today. Some great stories and learning moments for all coaches out there in this one
