Entering his 3rd season with the California Golden Bears, Noah Yanchulis has already experienced many highs of coaching a college team. He’s been a part of a conference champion team, chased an NCAA team title, and been a part of a Team USA coaching staff. We spoke with Yanchulis today about his time with the bears and how he’s developed his system for coaching the 400 IM/distance groups, which now has up to 24 athletes on any given day, with the massive addition of 20 freshmen (men and women) this fall. This past summer, after Cal put 5 athletes on the world championship roster, Yanchulis was named an assistant coach on Team USA. He discusses the lessons learned coaching overseas in Thailand and Singapore as he helped guide the Red, White, and Blue through sickness during the championships.

Noah sounds like an amazing coach, will definitley be a USA national team coach for years to come. Cal is going to have a tough time recruiting the very best because texas can throw $100,000 at every recruit like it’s nothing. Their world class acedemics and team culture isn’t going to cut it anymore. Sad what Grant House has done to the sport. Excited to see the Bears shock the world in March!
Marsh curious, innovative for 4 decades true
I’m curious to see how the bears rebuild (and what transfers they will get in the spring)
I expect many of the scorers from last year will step up as will underclassmen but Cal lacks a real star.
Relays relays relays
Homie has been hooking us up with race videos since 2016 🔥
before. I think I remember watching the 2015 400 medley relay on his youtube
Unrelated but tuncelli to texas
and Deriveaux
And then Erisman reposted it… 🤔
Getting silly at this point. Wake me up when Bowman retires and NCAAs are competitive again.
I care more about the national swim team than collegiate parity so more power to Bob. Send all the talent to him because he’s the one who creates GOATs.
downvoters are not true patriots
Buddy he is not coaching Americans lmao
Most people on the worlds tram this past summer
Yeah but the comment thread is about a Turkish Olympian. People are pointing out the irony with the “I care more about the national team than collegiate parity so send everyone to Bob” comment.
Actually having to coach for the first time in years when you can’t get carried by two stacked classes of A cut swimmers out of high school is kind of refreshing. And Europeans won’t arrive until February so there’s time to develop guys
I think cal will surprise a lot of people in March
Dang a positive statement about Cal from Andrew. It must be April fools today
Same thought! I was about to faint in the Starbucks line 🥸
He technically didn’t say the surprise was going to be a positive one for Cal
Recruiting is the lifeblood of every college progrum. It’s not Dave’s fault that fast swimmers want to train there. They want to train at Cal becuase of how fast everyone is/has gotten.
Cal always surprises come NCAAs.
Something must be wrong with Andrew – who would have ever thought Andrew would say anything positive about Cal?
yes sir….
Coleman, this is a good one. Thanks for this.
