2016 World Clinic Keynote: Our Olympic Year Results and Thoughts for the Future, Bob Bowman & David Marsh 

Bob Bowman and Dave Durden discussed the factors contributing to this success, including a seven-day break after trials, effective training camps in San Antonio and Atlanta, and a supportive team environment. They emphasized the importance of detailed preparation, team chemistry, and the role of experienced and new coaches. The conversation also touched on the significance of maintaining high performance standards and the impact of the collegiate system on Olympic success. The conversation revolves around the journey and success of a young swimmer who moved to Charlotte at 14 to join a swim team, driven by her determination and her parents' support. Despite not being ranked in backstroke events, her spirit and hard work led to a silver medal. The discussion emphasizes the importance of nurturing talent, allowing athletes to fail and learn, and providing challenging yet supportive environments. It highlights the success of two team members and their coaches, crediting them for the team's Olympic performance and relay victories. The speakers stress the value of earning achievements through dedication and the diverse coaching styles that contribute to athletes' success.
