E8 - Michael Glossop. Working with people that swim. They are not just swimmers!

In this conversation, Michael Glossop shares his unique journey in coaching. We discuss the importance of balance, identity, and legacy in the world of sports. Michael reflects on his experiences in swimming and how stepping away from coaching has provided him with new perspectives on the challenges faced by coaches. Michael emphasises the need for support, collaboration across sports, and the value of informal learning spaces. He also highlights the significance of family time and the importance of enjoying the journey rather than solely focusing on outcomes.
