Behind the Blocks: Aquatic Sports Performance | Swim Coach João Visits #9

In this episode, I traveled out to see the crew at Aquatic Sports Performance (ASP) to spend the day on deck and in the weight room with coach Sean Kao, Caleb Dressel, Michael Andrew, and an unbelievable group of elite international athletes preparing for upcoming major championships, Olympic selection, and international games.
From the first whistle of the morning session, the intensity of this environment is undeniable. You are looking at a pool deck packed with some of the fastest sprinters on the planet, all pushing boundaries while managing a fine balance: keeping training highly technical, tracking critical performance metrics, and maintaining the neurological freshness needed to explosive speed.
Hearing Sean reflect on starting ASP by training a couple of athletes for free in his parents' garage to now managing multiple world-record holders on their brand-new gym floor shows exactly what happens when you commit to the grind daily.
➡️ Watch the full episode on YouTube to see how the ASP crew trains, communicates, and builds elite championship habits in the water and the weight room.
