SK266 Sam Short

On this episode of Social Kick, we're joined by Aussie distance ace Sam Short! The 2023 400 Free World Champion dives into his training philosophy and the grind behind his phenomenal races. We explore the mindset of a world-class swimmer and the strategies that propel him to the top of the podium.

Sam gives us the lowdown on his legendary training sets that are so tough, even his rivals talk about them. He also shares his take on the future of swimming, from potential rule changes to the importance of rivalries, and what it's like to chase records set by legends like Grant Hackett and Ian Thorpe.

Plus, we get into the more human side of things: what a post-training feast looks like, his pre-race superstitions, his unexpected love for movies and Netflix, and the story behind his Greek mythology-themed tattoos. We also find out which events he's most excited about for the upcoming World Cup circuit and what it's like to be part of the Australian swimming culture.
