When Bob Bowman reflected on the key to sustaining success

Bob Bowman once spoke about the longevity of his coaching career and the key to sustaining success. In an interview with FSU Coach in June 2020, the former coach of Michael Phelps explained how coaching at different levels can be stressful at times.

When asked about how he kept himself stress-free, Bowman replied:

"I think I'm much better now at taking care of myself than I was earlier. I exercised every day. I did yoga."

In another podcast with Unfiltered Waters, Bowman also revealed that his decision to change the swimming routine during his assignment at Arizona State University in 2009 didn't go well.

"I feel terrible about it. I don't think any of us were at our best in 2009. We were kind of both collectively at not great place."

Bob Bowman began coaching Michael Phelps when he met him during his tenure at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club. The two finally parted ways when Phelps retired from swimming after the 2016 Rio Olympics.
