23 MAR 2022 · In this podcast, we take a different look at the world of swimming coaches and draw comparisons to the wonderful world of Stand Up comedy. Whether its the great Eddie Murphy or Ricky Gervais, in many ways they have similarities to our own profession and supercoaches like Michael Bohl or Gregg Troy. Shannon takes us through the many ways the two professions are closely related, such as being self critical, comedians and coaches hanging out together and If you don't them laugh or in our case fast, you don't make it. So this week follow us down a weird and great conversation around how Comedians and Coaches are closely related, as we give our top 3 US, British and Aussie Comedians as well. Great coaches think outside the box, and so do great podcasts
