Josh Matheny Using NCAA Team Title as Motivation for Senior Season at Indiana

After qualifying for the US Olympic team and making the final of the men’s 200 Breast in Paris this summer, Josh Matheny is soaking in his last season with Indiana. Coming out of a long course season full of emotion, the senior is leaning on the team for motivation in training and competition, leaning on his teammates to get through tough practices.

Matheny’s also fueled by the fact that the Indiana men have a chance to win an NCAA team title, which would be a storybook ending to Matheny’s college career.

Senior year and he still takes 17 strokes per 25 yards, can barely get past the flags on a pullout, and loses a body length on every start

Strategic interview with the cap and goggles on to hide that hairline. Luke Hobson could learn from that

If the guy can fix his start and pullouts he break the American records short and long course!

Some people just aren’t great at pull outs. That’s like saying to someone that’s great at pull outs ‘just fix your stroke and you’ll be fine.’

That’s a cop out. Starts and pull outs can always improve.

That’s true but it doesn’t mean they’ll be ‘fixed.’

He’s a 59 and 2:08 lcm breaststroker. He’s obviously world class. I’m sure he works on all aspects of his races including pull outs.

My point is that most have strengths and weaknesses. He’s not great at pull outs. It’s easy to say just fix them, but some just aren’t great all all aspects even though they work really hard at improving them.

Missy Franklin and Hunter Armstrong weren’t great UW but I’m sure they worked hard to improve their UWs. Same thing.
