We will miss your excellent coaching and expertise on deck down here. However, we will not miss your flatulence issues.
Many happy days in South Carolina.
A classic John Morse 4th of July set from 1998/1999, 10×800 descend, last one from a dive. As if the dive made a difference.
Thanks, Coach! You made a lasting impression.
“I kinda feel that today there’s so much information, and so much of it is wrong.” – Very wise words, from a very wise coach.
Congratulations Coach Morse !
Tight lines 🙂
Some good insight for coaches. Congratulation John ! Great to see your being inducted into ASCA Hall of Fame & yes clubs in good hands with Doug.
Great interview. You have to love being a swim coach clearly and figure out how to make it sustainable over a long period of time.
