Episode #039: John Steffensen
John Steffensen isn't a swimmer but he did shape Brett's coaching philosophy. Don't sleep on this episode just because John isn't a swimmer. Swimming has always learned and evolved from running. And, his mental game is as strong as you'll find.
They talk about how a swimmer and a runner became friends.
Never celebrate an Opening Ceremony:

The similarities between a 200 Freestyle and the 400m.
Doping.
Training 100% for 9 months, party for 2.
John's competitive mentality.
"If you're not setting a personal best at the Games, you messed up!"
Driving home with Usain after he ripped his hamstring in 2014.
The Last Dance.
And much, much more.
