Bob Bowman is a director of swimming and diving and head men's coach at the University of Texas here in Austin.
2
He also coached Michael Phelps to 23
3
Olympic gold medals
4
and is the first coach in Division I men's swimming history to win back -to -back national championships at two different programs.
5
Bob, you've written a master class in winning
6
and I'm really excited about the conversation
7
but I wanted to ground in your one simple rule that you've used for the years which is do your work.
8
Thanks Kevin for having me.
9
One of the things that I think is most important in any endeavor is showing up day in day out consistently.
10
That is what really gets you where you want to go.
11
If you wait on motivation or you rely on motivation it's not going to do it for you.
12
I was trying to get back in shape
13
or in a training camp in Colorado Springs and
14
so we had great weight room and my assistant coach was with me logan
15
and we had been working out every day in the morning one day i was kind of tired
16
and i was like you know i think maybe tomorrow i'm going to take off i don't feel too good
17
and he's like you know what i'm just going to do my work
18
so what do you do when you're feeling great
19
and the world is your oyster do your work what do you do
20
when you don't have any motivation you're lost you don't know anything about what to do do your work
21
It'd be great to have you tell a little bit about your story.
22
And I know you started with age group swimmers.
23
In 1997, I was in Baltimore and at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, the best club in America at the time.
24
We changed around the groups, and there was an 11 -year -old kid that was assigned to my group,
25
which was largely 13, 14, 15 -year -olds.
26
And his name was Michael Phelps.
27
And they put him in there because he couldn't be challenged with his age.
28
He needed something far greater than that.
29
And that really started this very unique journey.
30
Michael, I became the head men's coach in Ann Arbor, learned quite a bit, had a tremendous training group there,
31
really helped Michael prepare for Beijing in 2008 where he had his peak performance.
32
An opportunity came up for me to go to Arizona State University.
33
I took it.
34
At the time, the team had not scored a point at NCAAs for 10 years, the national championships.
35
But I wanted a project, and I wanted something that would challenge me after Michael was done.
36
We had this amazing journey from really the true basement to winning an NCAA championship in 2024 at ASU.
37
And then about the time that we were about to win the championship, I got the call from Texas.
38
And, you know, you don't say no to Texas.
39
I mean, it's an absolutely incredible career if you think about what you've done with Michael Phelps.
40
What you've done at Arizona State, what you've done at Texas is really impressive.
41
But how did you start?
42
How did you define winning and take us through that journey?
43
When I think about winning, I was trying to come up with one word.
44
It's probably improvement, right?
45
That is my job, is to get everybody
46
that I have influence over every day to make incremental improvement as much as possible every day.
47
And if you're doing that over time,
48
you're going to get from 45th place at NCAAs to number one and it's really a process -driven system, right?
49
So what I do is focus on process and leave outcomes out there because they kind of depend on other people.
50
We focus on the things we control, the process of how we practice, the attitude we bring to our work.
51
If the people buy into that and live the right way, they're going to win.
52
The story that I love to tell, and I told my Texas team my first day on the
53
job those kids at asu who had just won a national championship they had lived like champions for three
54
or four years before they got the trophy
55
you won't ever really in around here hear us talking about winning a championship
56
but you'll hear a lot of talking about doing what it takes to become a champion being a champion
57
so at the end of the day if you become the right things
58
and you follow the right process the winning will occur how
59
do you bridge a gap from an individual sport to bringing
60
that team together
61
and getting the most out of right everyone on your team
62
they want to be part of something bigger than themselves at texas
63
they're part of an amazing legacy probably the greatest legacy in nc2a sports
64
if you look at the level you know we've won 17 national championships in the last 50 years
65
so how do you think about evolving your roster getting the right people to buy into what you're trying to accomplish
66
it's all about people at the end at the end of the day
67
it's about having the right people in the right positions
68
and you know if you have the wrong people there they got to go
69
so over a period of time you start defining what you need to carry out the mission
70
which in this case is compete at at the top level.
71
what events you want to cover, what are the qualities of the people that you want to bring in.
72
And then you decide if the people you have here can do that or not.
73
And if they can't, they need to find a new place to be.
74
And then you bring in the people that can do it.
75
And what about those times when you have the roster, but you're deciding who's going to swim in an individual meet?
76
Just making those tough decisions.
77
We have times in swimming, we have practice performances, and you kind of gauge all those and kind of factor those in.
78
So I saw this video clip of Dr. Ellen Langer.
79
She's a Harvard psychologist.
80
Very good.
81
What she encouraged people to do is instead of stressing so much about making the right decision,
82
go ahead and make it and then make your decision right.
83
And once I started living that way, things got a lot better.
84
Because you really don't know all the possibilities and you certainly can't control them.
85
So I use the information I have and then kind of go with my gut and just make the call.
86
Of course, coaching talent gives you a leg up.
87
What about some critics that might say you got lucky because you had Michael Phelps?
88
Clearly, I did get lucky having Mike Phelps.
89
I don't think there's any question about that.
90
And they were like, Boatman can't coach.
91
The janitor could coach Michael Phelps to those medals.
92
And I was like, yeah, but could he coach his mother?
93
It wasn't just Michael.
94
I had to work on Debbie.
95
I had to work on a lot of people around there.
96
So there's a lot that goes into it.
97
Michael, there's nothing he wouldn't do to reach his goals within the rules in terms of effort or attitude,
98
and that's what separated him.
99
He went for six years without missing a day, 365 days, because we were convinced that if we did that,
100
every year we'd pick up 52 days on all the people that took every Sunday off.
101
There are a lot of things that we taught Michael
102
that had nothing to do with how long his arms were, his wingspan.
103
There must be days where he didn't want to swim.
104
As a coach, how did you deal with it?
105
What I observed from these great performers like Leon and Michael, Allison Schmitz, some people like one of gold medals,
106
they're not amazing in practice every day, but they have a high average level most days.
107
So on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is terrible and 10 is as good as you can be,
108
they're like an 8 most days, 7 or 8 all the time.
109
And every now and then there's a 3, but there's maybe 1.
110
and every now and there there's a 10.
111
15 % is better than zero.
112
We equated it to money in the bank.
113
Some days you put a big deposit in the bank.
114
Some days it's a couple pennies but you're doing something every day
115
and that's what they have to learn is that your effort
116
and your attitude are the two things that you control all the time.
117
So when you don't feel like doing something don't let that be a limiting factor.
118
Just do it anyway.
119
Do the best you can.
120
There's a famous story about you breaking michael phelps's goggles in practice
121
and that that translated into olympic we had gone to australia in 2003
122
and he was swimming in some international meeting they just had their stuff on the floor
123
and that was okay except for they had like their goggles
124
and their caps just kind of strewn all over the deck in this area
125
and i saw michael's goggles
126
and i just stepped on him he swam a race in the preliminaries
127
and um swam fairly well and he came back and he was like I don't know what happened, but my goggles filled up with water.
128
I was like, well, you did a really good job.
129
You counted your strokes.
130
There was another meet where he went to swim a backstroke race in the finals,
131
and he reaches up to pull his goggles down, and they aren't there.
132
And he looks over at me like, no goggles.
133
And I was just like, swim.
134
He learned to deal with some adversity, right?
135
And learned that he was capable of meeting the challenge so
136
when he dove in and Beijing in the 200 fly final
137
which is a very important race for him I noticed
138
that he just didn't look right he actually broke the world record
139
which is an amazing thing
140
but right after the race you can see he kind of tears his goggles off his face
141
and chucks them up on the deck but what he told me after was
142
when his goggles filled up in the first 50 meters he just reverted to what we do in training
143
and as counting your strokes my first thought is like, who in the world under this kind of pressure can even do that?
144
But that's where the talent and the preparation come in.
145
So maybe a little bit about overcoming adversity.
146
What separates people that are able to do that versus those that are not?
147
No one has a straight line to success.
148
Everybody who has done anything meaningful will have failed many, many times.
149
So I encourage people to embrace failure.
150
If you're going to fail, fail big.
151
That means you're trying, right? go for it if you have things that come in
152
that you didn't plan for I know Michael before 2008 in the fall of 2007 he had been swimming
153
amazingly the entire year where university of michigan where he had swum
154
and brilliantly swam on i guess it was saturday afternoon
155
and then i got a call on sunday afternoon
156
that he had walked out to his car and slipped on the ice
157
and broke his wrist this is like eight months before the olympics
158
and you know i went over to his place
159
and he was distraught he was like i just gave away three gold medals
160
I was like I don't think he gave away anything
161
but I was like let's number one figure out what we're going to do
162
so we went to hand specials
163
that day it's like what time you're scheduling tomorrow let's go
164
and they scheduled surgery the next day he was able to come out of
165
that obviously do fine have the greatest performance in history at the big meet
166
but when you have something like that try to take the emotion out of it
167
and focus on what you can do
168
and control the controllables one of the things
169
we talked about is an accountable plan how do you take a very big goal
170
and break it down into the small steps you need to run
171
or play out to get to the goal number one i want to have a very long -term goal
172
that is not really very specific but it has an emotional component to it
173
that kind of drives this whole process i call it a dream goal right
174
and you know for swimmers it's easy
175
it's like hey what's your dream in swimming they'll be like to swim in the olympics right
176
it's out there we're going to start working back
177
and we're going to say well
178
when are we going to do the olympics you have dates okay 2028
179
or whatever the it's going to be then we start working backwards to where we are and
180
if you know you want to make the u .s olympic team
181
i can say you're going to have to swim this time at the usa trials
182
This is very objective.
183
So we kind of place everything on time.
184
This is what Michael and I always did.
185
We worked off of times.
186
So if we're going to swim this time in 2028 in the summer,
187
then in 2027, you're going to have to be within five tenths of that time.
188
And in 2026, you want to be within a second and a half of that time.
189
So that's how you kind of keep on track.
190
And then as we work back, we get to the very most important goal, which I call the immediate goals.
191
What am I going to do right now?
192
The most important, any decision that any of us are going to make
193
It's what are we going to do in the present moment that's going to carry us through these other goals.
194
So writing on the whiteboard the next big meet and the countdown until then, why do you do that?
195
Why do you make it so visible?
196
We just get closer to it each day, and I just want them to know that time is moving.
197
When I went to Michigan, I put up a timer that was a countdown clock to the 2008 Olympic Games.
198
I did it four years before so
199
when it started it said how many days hours seconds
200
and it was running all the time and I was like
201
and one of my assistants said why don't you put that up there I was like
202
you're gonna think that
203
that thing ran out in no time we're gonna look up there one day
204
and it's gonna be 10 days how do you think about breaking down performance in a meet
205
and in a race there are a couple things we're very fortunate now
206
that we have what's called a race analysis so we can get all sorts of data on every race.
207
We can get their times.
208
We call them split times.
209
We can get their times to 15 meters, to 25 meters.
210
You know, we can see what their stroke rate was on each of these increments.
211
We can see what their stroke length was on each of these increments.
212
And is that in the, that's inside or they're wearing something?
213
We can do that off of a video.
214
Now we have AI that'll take the video and just spit it right out, which is crazy.
215
So you can get their turn time
216
so that's one piece of it the other piece is we
217
use video to actually see what it visually looks like
218
so i could say well you went into this turn you need one less stroke
219
or you shouldn't breathe going into this wall the other part is what i do
220
when i'm on deck is i'm trying to be hyper aware of what the swimmers are like before
221
they go to the race how do they look in their
222
routine are they in a routine do they look like they're
223
in the right mindset how are they behind the blocks like i i love
224
when we go to some of these big meets like the olympic trials
225
i will actually for a majority of the races i won't go out into the venue
226
and watch them i'll watch them in a huge screen in the warm -up pool
227
because you can see everything but my favorite thing is to show them
228
when they walk out of the ready room to go to the blocks to swim
229
i can look in their face
230
and figure out how they're going to swim that's one of my favorite games like he's ready see
231
if it matches up or not customize systems rituals habits yes all the things
232
that you do to sort of build a process to get good how do you build these programs
233
that your swimmers actually want to do like you said no matter what day
234
it is sometimes they just have to do it
235
um we try to sell them on why i think
236
that's the key element for anything i tell someone who comes into my program,
237
you are welcome to ask me why we're going to do anything we do here, and I should have an answer.
238
Now, I will tell you that one out of every 50 times,
239
the answer is going to be I've been doing this for 40 years and I think it might work.
240
We do experiment.
241
But most of the time, I should have an answer to why we're doing this particular exercise at this time in this way.
242
And I think once they understand that and they kind of buy into the why, then it's easy to get them to do it.
243
Yeah.
244
One of the things you said about mastery is that being coachable is like the most important attribute.
245
Can you tell early on how coachable folks are?
246
You can because it's how much they pay attention, how invested they are in what we're doing.
247
And I've had some people at this level that I think aren't coachable enough.
248
The best part about a college team is I get to go pick people who come.
249
And that's one of the first ones we look like.
250
Are you coachable?
251
Do you make people around
252
you better how do you create a world where your athletes want feedback okay
253
you know they want real -time feedback they want consistent feedback
254
because a lot of times you know in the professional world
255
it's not something people are looking forward to in our sport
256
or just any sport the people that do it at a high level
257
and we're doing it at probably the highest level of our team they want the feedback
258
because they know that's how they get better when i give them
259
feedback they know I'm doing it to help them get better
260
and I also try to present it in a way
261
so it's not hypercritical I'm trying to say
262
if you want to swim this time in the 200 breaststroke
263
you're gonna have to split this you're gonna have to take this many strokes
264
and you're taking ten right now and it's got to be eight
265
so you decide you know but you need to know
266
that you're not going to get where you want to go
267
unless you make these changes how do you work with individuals within a different team different personalities
268
and dynamics sort of bringing them all together as we know everyone is different everyone learns differently
269
i try to find out number one um how people process
270
information the best some people are i'm an auditory learner
271
if i hear it i really remember it i tell coaches i have a toolbox
272
of things that i use for coaching
273
when i first started the only tool in my box was a hammer so everything look like a nail, right?
274
You do this.
275
You will do this, right?
276
But now I have a lot of tools.
277
I have empathy.
278
I have logic.
279
I have pats on the back.
280
I have, I can still give them a little kick in the rear end if they need it.
281
But I think that's the key to how you learn how
282
to motivate a big group of diverse people is you get
283
in the weeds on what each individual person needs to be motivated.
284
There are a couple of people in my group that the only thing that gets them to change is the sledgehammer.
285
Like, are you going to do this or not?
286
So I think that's what you learn over time is how to approach them like that.
287
And I think that at the competitions, it's the same thing too.
288
We talk a lot about process and outcome.
289
If you have outcome -based goals or you have outcome -based thoughts like winning a gold medal, what happens at the end of this race?
290
What if i don't do this time that's an outcome -based goal right i want to win
291
when you have those kind of thoughts your physiological activation is like you received a threat
292
you start to get you know palms get clammy heart rate goes up your breathing rate increases
293
if you have process -based thoughts i want to make sure
294
i nail my first turn i want to have a 1 .1 tempo on the first 50
295
your activation state goes down
296
you you also talked about um team phelps like the broader system of coaches what were all those different roles
297
and how does it all come together it's kind of amazing i told somebody one time
298
that you know when this whole thing started with michael it was me his mother
299
and michael there was three people by the time we ended it was like an agent doctors physical therapists,
300
lawyers, all kind of things, right?
301
We had a whole army of people.
302
Well, if you're a biomechanist, they think that a swimmer is like a stick figure, right?
303
With angles and this and that.
304
If you go to a physiologist, they just think it's a pair of heart and lungs.
305
Psychologists think it's only the brain.
306
My job is to take the best from all of those and make sure that none of those is the whole pie.
307
They're pieces of the pie.
308
Is there something about getting the feedback as fast as you can?
309
And how do you think about that?
310
I think you want to have feedback as soon as you can because then it's fresh in their mind,
311
the situation is, right, or the motivation to change.
312
So I have to make sure, and my coaches, one of the things we work on is we distill the information to a soundbite
313
and then try to distill it more.
314
So I might just say, fingertips towards the bottom.
315
I would say one thing.
316
Or I would say right elbow up or take two more kicks off the wall.
317
But that's all they get so they'll get enough
318
that they're it's kind of real time they can understand it I can watch it
319
and see if they do it and then the next time they come around
320
and say hey that was a lot better or no needs work you keep working it
321
For leaders who look at you and say, I want to do exactly what Bob did.
322
I want to create a system.
323
I want to have a feedback culture.
324
I want to have a plan, a customized plan with all the systems.
325
They wake up tomorrow and say they want to do it.
326
Where do they start?
327
You know where I would start?
328
Well, I would find somebody in your field who is doing it and learn how they do it.
329
Don't try to put your spin on it yet learn exactly how they are doing it studied music and
330
when you talk to see people perform in music
331
they always say studied with da da da da da da da
332
so I wanted these coaches I was working with I wanted to go study with the masters
333
and learn their way of doing it you just have to show up
334
and give yourself a chance to be great I love it all right thank you so much thank you Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
