Welcome to SwimEd: Education for coaches, athletes and parents.
Join Matthew Grant and Jennifer Bowers as they examine the top swimming and sporting topics from three perspectives: the coaches, the athletes and the parents.
In each episode, our listeners hear the conversations, stories, insights and advice we’ve been sharing for years on and off the pool deck that help coaches improve their coaching, athletes increase their performances and parents boost their support. Combined with interviews of experts in various field of study and even coaches from other sports, listeners get the latest information and new ways of thinking about swimming and sports.
Episode 12 – Justine Schluntz Interview
Today we interview Justine Schluntz. She is a Hall of Fame Athlete at the University of Arizona for swimming. She is a five-time NCAA national champion and part of the 2008 National Championship team. Additionally, she won the PAC-10 Woman of the Year and NCAA Woman of the Year and beat out Tim Tebow for COSIDA/ESPN Academic All-American of the Year for 2010. Oh, and she’s a Rhodes Scholar in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. In short, she’s better than us in so many ways!
In this episode, we will talk with Dr. Schluntz about her swimming career from swimming in Albuquerque, NM, the University of Arizona and her academic journey. I’m excited to talk to another academic – sorry if it gets nerdy – and her experience in our sport.
