As long as he trains his hardest and swims his best it doesn’t matter, you really can’t control if you to a PB again.

The guy looks like a Marine (no pun intended). Could probably be a Navy Seal with ease if he were so inclined. Looking forward to his performances in Paris.

Boot, I could not agree more. A haircut and a bod does not make a Marine. And to use “Navy Seal” & “with ease” in the same sentence tells you all you need to know about this Fan.

a bod? Dude is a beast and can endure pain that most of those guys cannot. I’d be willing to bet dressel has the mental strength to get through buds. Do you have any idea of how rigorous a process Nesty puts them through?

Good grief many times NO. He quit the US National Team in the middle of the World Championships. Not what a heroic Marine or Navy Seal does.

Yeah. The navy seals don’t care about your mental health. You can either hack it or you ring the bell. Most of the torture they put you through is psychological. Mental health is important overall but it’s a different kind of important for elite military units. You don’t have it and they aren’t interested in helping you find it.

Love his honesty. I wish all swimmers could tell us how they truly see things. But maybe that comes as they mature.

If he’s miserable swimming the best times won’t matter. If he’s happy swimming then it’s the cherry on the cake.
