UNC Associate Head Dr. Jack Brown Takes us Through “The Six Questions” of High Performance

In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman HodgesGarrett McCaffrey, 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.

As a swimmer, Dr. Jack Brown was a 10x NCAA All-American, Pac-10 Champion, and Olympic Trials finalist. He also struggled with pre-race anxiety throughout his career. As a coach and sports psychologist, he’s spent the last several years creating a system to help athletes of all ages develop a healthy relationship with their goals. This system is laid out in Dr. Brown’s book, the Six Questions.

In today’s discussion, Dr. Brown lays out how he made this system, how he’s seen it work for the teams he’s worked with, and UNC’s outlook for the 2023-24 swim season.

This was a really inspiring conversation. I would love to see coaches watch this a month or two out from the start of the season, or a month after the end of the season – help set the mentality for the next year.
