ACC Champion Ian Bishop Talks About Culture Change Under Braden Holloway

  4 Braden Keith | March 04th, 2013

Anderson Sloan, a former swimmer for both Clemson and Maryland, has seen the ACC Championships from many different perspectives. This year, he saw a whole new side of the meet, as he was there providing coverage for SwimSwam.

His first interview above is with North Carolina State ACC 100 breaststroke champion Ian Bishop. Bishop talks specifically about his swim, and then more broadly about the culture change he’s seen at North Carolina State since Braden Holloway took over the team.

The amount of energy in the program is infectious. Watching the fast swims was exciting, but it was also a riot watching the coaching staff cheer during each race. SwimSwam’s pictures of the coaches cheering during the Women’s 200 Free heats and the Men’s 800 Free Relay are classic.

Great interview by Ian! I am very proud of you and hope u remember an Asian coach from NITRO. As he said, it is all about the culture to build a great TEAM!

Great comments concerning NC State program..Braden doing an incredible job. Nice story angle created by Anderson when he asked about PACK BY GOD chant..started by a few of
Don Easterlings initial recruits( aka PISSANTS) in the early 70’s and it is great to see current group of Wolfpackers acknowledging this tradition and using it to create a great new VIBE!
