#274 Bridging the gap between talent and ability with Jeff Natalizio

Jeff Natalizio is the National Coach for Evolution Racing Club in South Orange County, California. He also runs his own business (Zio Fit) training athletes to master longevity and unlock their full potential. As an athlete, he swam for the University of California. Jeff is clearly a disciple of the late, great Nort Thornton, as you will see and hear in this interview. In this very interesting conversation, Jeff goes deep in regards to his, "Swimming Basics" lecture and its 3 main focal points: posture, balance, and feel for the water.
