This week we have a special guest, Gretchen Walsh. She is a multi time American Record Holder, NCAA Champion and she is setting the season on fire right now. We discuss her thoughts on her scorching swims so far this season and the mindset driving her confidence in and out of the pool. Hear how she and UVA work with a mathematician to strategically refine the little details to maximize performance. Gretchen also shares her perspective on the importance of time away from the sport to avoid burnout. Her relationship with her sister Alex has played such a large part in her career and she talks about what it has meant to swim alongside her on the world stage. We also explore how she navigates the world of NIL and get a glimpse into what it's been like to co-create a suit collection with her sister. 
Join us for a dynamic episode packed with insights and perspectives from a true champion making waves in and out of the pool.


*Golden Goggles is an event that takes place every fall that is a celebration of the national team that represented Team USA the previous summer. The 2023 Golden Goggles were hosted in Los Angeles and were celebrating the Worlds 2023 Team and their performances. They are named this because the winner literally gets a pair of "golden goggles" as a trophy! It is an incredible event where the athletes get to dress up, walk a red carpet, and take time to recognize one another and the team as a whole!

**Tennessee Invitational was a meet held in Knoxville from November 15th-17th, 2023. It is the major meet of the fall for collegiate student athletes.

***Ken Ono is a theoretical mathematician who holds two endowed professorships. He is the Head of the UVA Mathematics Department at Virginia and has been brought on to work with the team to help them refine their technique and strategy.
