Andreas Vazaios on the Importance of Emotional Intelligence for Swimmers

In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman Hodges and Gold Medal Mel Stewart, SwimSwam welcomes both the biggest names in swimming that you already know, and rising stars that you need to get to know, as we break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.

Vazaios is studying psychology, specifically emotional intelligence and self care. The Greek swimmer shares some of the things he’s learned about these topics and how they’ve trickled into his life as a swimmer and as a human.
