Description
I'm excited to welcome Brent Hayden, a true legend, back to the podcast after nearly five years since our last conversation in 2018. A lot has changed since then, including his return to swimming and competing in the Tokyo Olympics. We'll also explore how he stays in shape during retirement, his coaching approach, and his thoughts on coaching through Skillest. Tune in now! 02:25 What was the origin or starting point of your comeback for the Tokyo Olympics? 07:27 Did you engage in strength training or any other fitness activities to stay in shape during your retirement? 13:02 Why do you believe the Canadian swimming community was supportive in encouraging your comeback? 14:24 Could you talk me through or discuss the details of the relay event? 21:15 During your retirement, as you coach and run clinics, what are the core aspects you like to pass on to the groups that you're coaching? 33:55 What are your thoughts on coaching through Skillest? 51:22 Did the attention and media spotlight from winning bronze in the 100 free in 2012 impact your intense focus on achieving results in the 2016 Olympics?
