In this vlog, I drove down to UC San Diego to spend the day with Coach Marko and the UCSD Tritons — a program in the middle of an exciting transition from Division II to Division I.
From the moment I stepped on deck, it was clear that UCSD is embracing change with energy and innovation. The staff is constantly exploring new ways to train smarter — from how they structure sets to how they challenge athletes to think about speed, technique, and efficiency.
What stood out most was the collaboration between coaches and swimmers. Every rep had intent, every correction had context. You could see the confidence that comes from a team building something new while honoring the culture that got them here.
This visit was a reminder that moving up in divisions isn’t just about faster times — it’s about raising the standard, evolving the mindset, and building a foundation for sustained excellence.
➡️ Watch the full episode on YouTube to see how Coach Marko and the UCSD crew are pushing boundaries, one practice at a time.
