As a french, i would like to thank this man, Bob Bowman, for helping Leon to reach his best in the pool. Together, they achieved something very special and it was so great to watch.
*Traduction des points importants en français:* - Léon a généralement un niveau assez "moyen" pendant les entraînement en amont de championnats du monde/JO. - étonnamment, la brasse de Léon pendant ses entraînement est presque tout le temps médiocre. 2 jours avant les JO, son niveau en brasse a inquiété Bob 😂 - pendant tout le processus de préparation, de Toulouse jusqu'à la fin des jeux, Léon est resté maître de lui-même et relaxé comme quand il nage bien en général. - Bob pense que Léon aurait pu battre son record du monde sur le 400 qn et 200 qn s'il avait nagé en mode sprint sur les derniers mètres sans respirer un peu comme il l'a fait sur le 200 papillon. - même le jour des qualifs et demies de la brasse & papillon, ils avaient toujours pas décidé à 100% si Léon allait faire le doublé le mercredi. Après la demie du 200 brasse, il a récupéré en 10min seulement, c'est là qu'ils ont décidé de faire les finales. - pour le 200 papillon, ils savaient que Milak allait partir très vite, et que Léon allait devoir être toujours au contact aux 150m pour pouvoir gagner, car ils n'avaient pas vu Milak faire un super dernier 50m jusque là cette saison. pour le 200 brasse, c'est l'inverse, là c'est Léon qui allait devoir partir le plus vite possible et tenir le coup autant que possible sur le dernier 50m. - avant le doublé, Bob pensait que Léon n'avait que 20% de chances de le réaliser, et misait plutot sur une medaille d'or et une autre d'argent/bronze. - aux qualifs des JO de 2004, Michael Phelps avait nagé 2 finales + 1 demie la même soirée, mais le lendemain matin il arrivait même plus à marcher 😂 - Bob n'a pas accordé beaucoup d'importance à la profondeur de la piscine qui a fait polémique un peu, mais estime que par exemple Léon (1:54.06) aurait peut-être pu vaincre le record du monde de Lochte sur le 200qn (1:54.00) dans une piscine olympique "standard". Donc d'après ses mots, l'ordre de grandeur de l'effet de cette profondeur serait seulement de quelques centièmes de secondes (et pas dixièmes voire secondes comme certains pensent).
Bob veut maintenant refaire partie du staff USA. Il ne pense pas qu’il refera partie du staff français dans le futur, et que Léon n’aura plus besoin de lui pour lui “guider”.
@@joashraberson01 ce qui est un coup dur car toutes les stratégies élaborées par Bowman se sont avérées payantes... Le savoir dans quatre ans dans l'équipe adverse avec tout le public derrière les nageurs américains, ça change tout !
We live in a global sports community. Athletes and coaches have the right to decide where to train and who to train with. The US has no shortage of great swimmers, coaches, funding, and facilities.
Yes, Paige! EVEN split. She can't retire . .yet. I KNOW she can get to the 8:08s next year. .and then we'll see. I feel like once the swimmers are no longer intimidated by Katie or Michael, they gain traction and no fear and can catch them, their times. N.E.T Neuro Emotional Technique using Applied Kinesiology can help with that too. We all benefit from it but athletes especially.
I suggest swimswam to eliminate the comments made by some recently created IDs who are sponsored by Chinese propaganda team. These comments, repetitively referring to purple face and asthma, are baseless and misleading.
Congrats on all your success. Back in Mt day, the club coaches were IT and those university coaches were simply the lucky S.O.Bs that got them for 4 years. Times have changed. The power is mainly with the university coaches . . money game. Maybe consider using ai to train with Bob B or Nesty . .like they're really there on deck for a day, a week. Learn from each other to make USA swimmers even stronger. US coaches train A LOT of other country's athletes
Regan's 100 back was so disappointing. She came in as WR holder and lost by 0.33. And went over half a second slower than her WR. Her 200m back was her best performance imo.
Bob is an incredible coach, Léon is an extraordinary swimmer, but I can't accept he refused to shake hand with the chinese coach. If Sport is politics I don't want to be interested in it anymore (and btw,Pan is incredible, don't let any purple person tell me otherwise)
What skill level of coaching are we celebrating here? Clearly this is an example of one who is good at coaching the cream of the crop, the top 1% of talent. I can't diminish the expertise involved in that. How does this skill level differ from the coach that develops those swimmers from start to the one percent? I am being overly simplistic but in the interest of brevity....
The skill level with that 1% is paying attention to slightest detail. Bowman mentions lactate levels indicated need for more rest and these minute adjustments make difference.
@@scotmoser8716 I think that is pretty overrated. There was a coach who said it best "What makes a good coach? A good swimmer." I see two things he has done right -- 1) convince those swimmers to swim with him and 2) keeps it pretty basic. I don't think he does fancy, complicated sets for the sake of being fancy. I don't discount either of those things.
11 Chinese swimmers tested positive in 2021 present in Paris ... 23 before the TOKYO Olympics all Chinese swimmers are cheaters and China is a country which when it does not cheat in sport copies industrial patents and know-how throughout the world .. Go hide troll
What a superlative for Léon Marchand refusing an autograph to a 10-year-old child! For your information, an autograph takes 3 seconds, so what's the superlative?
You have to look at it from the perspective of the number 1 swimmer in their home Olympics-every second counts in terms of warming down and preparation. The girl asked him for an autograph on the day of his double. If he had signed hers, then who’s to say that no one else will ask? Signing autographs is not the proper time while preparing for multiple swims.
Wait a minute!! Bob Bowerman was on the FRENCH TEAM, not 🚭🚫 the United States TEAM so where and what is his contributions to that?!! He wanted French Leon Marchand to beat Locke's World Leading Record, so am I missing something here?! His US swimmers were off the podium, except for Regan Smith who transferred to his camp, and Carson Foster who was off the podium.. I saw Bob Bowerman exclaimed his enthusiasm with the French, not 🚭🚫 the Americans, but at least he is recognized worldwide, an international coach only, so give me a break!! I prefer patriotism: there are plenty of international coaches here, but what I saw, they were with their American athletes!!! And those American athletes are responsible for those medals, not 🚭🚫 Bob Bowerman who was with the French Leon Marchand and the French team!!! The Olympics are coming to Los Angeles, USA: so I am sure that there are international coaches here perpetuating that international program at universities, especially in Florida, but which country would he represent, hmmm 🤔?!! Ecstatic for what country?!! I know that is his prorogative!! Because I am biased; I only cheered and routed for my own country USA, chanting USA because those US athletes represent people like me!!! My requirements that they do their best and landing on the podium are a plus of any medal, even if they made it in the top eight or ten: because its USA vs the WORLD, not 🚭🚫 just Australia, China, Britain, France, Canada, Hong Kong, Hungary, etc, etc and etc!!! But that is only me!!! Congratulations to Bob Bowerman for his success as an international coach and now director of an international swimming team!!!
Denis Cotterell, the famous coach of Australian Grant Hackett also coached SUN YANG to beat australia for years, he is not the first and this is pretty common for coaches, as long as USA athelete did not join other country to beat USA i think it is fair play since coach need to live and raise family too, at the end of the day there is only so much a coach can do, 99 percent is still athelete themself, thus is why he coached the french team but all their medals is still just from one guy.
Bob is Leon main coach he was not going to leave him during such an important moment of his life/ career. And its because of choices like these that he will be remembered as one of the best and most prolific coach ever. Btw he didn’t coach the french team he chose the french team so he could help not only Leon but his US swimmers as well, which was not possible the other way around (due to the US team restrictions). There is always a bigger picture… but you’re too patriotic to understand it.
@@thatsAkeepernow I understand your point, but I have also seen swimmers switched to another country too from USA to another country, and that is their prorogative and when they beat the Americans, I just give them an applause because they deserve their accolade, but that is far as I go!! Foreign countries have always seek after good coaching in Western, Northern, and European coaches, especially Australian and American and I know that it is about the money, but there are rules and regulations that they have to follow too for clubs and universities: you know guidelines in all sports. Majority of the sports are international programs.. It is what it is!!! So its USA vs the World, as Australia vs the World.. I don't know if Australian swimmers switched from Australia to another country, but USA, definitely yes!!! Thanks for sharing though!!!

Je veux des preuves noir sur blanc sur cassette !
Hello i'm french from Paris. Bob thank you so much for your coatching with Leon. You're the a legend !
THE SMILE WHEN HE HEARD HE TIED AUSTRALIA BY HIMSELF.....
2008 phelps wouldve tied 2024 team usa
He didn’t lol
The podcast every swimmer was waiting for!
What a legend! 🐐

merci !
Et aussi que dans quatre ans pour les JO, il sera normalement à nouveau dans l'équipe des États-Unis...
Bob veut maintenant refaire partie du staff USA. Il ne pense pas qu’il refera partie du staff français dans le futur, et que Léon n’aura plus besoin de lui pour lui “guider”.

The GOAT Coach 💯💯💯💯
Great interview. Thank you for posting.
Bob Bowman is great coach for Leon well dome👍
great interview, thx
We need the GOAT back in the US camp coaching US swimmers at the LA2028 Games!
Leon is definitely his best swimmer there's no way he's leaving him.
Nah he left the USA. He can stay out
US needs to lighten up on this.
We live in a global sports community. Athletes and coaches have the right to decide where to train and who to train with. The US has no shortage of great swimmers, coaches, funding, and facilities.
He seems like a great guy. Good job 👍
GOAT 🙏🏿💪🏾👏🏿😊

France doesn’5 talk about Marchand going to Arizona State on a swimming scholarship and having an American coach.
Uh...I was in Paris and yes they did... several times!
Amy last minute ND recruits?
Whatever you do, please comply with WADA's requirement.

bowman comes off so wondeful.
LA olympics will be a disappointment after Paris. paris was fun
Pourquoi ?
Why will it be disappointed in
La
Regan's 100 back was so disappointing. She came in as WR holder and lost by 0.33. And went over half a second slower than her WR. Her 200m back was her best performance imo.
many swimmers peak at trials. . it is what it is
Yeah, same with Gretchen. She even set Olympic record in the semi. Olympic final is just a different beast.
Am I the only one who feels like the interviewer is asking questions like an FBI agent?
true
Bob is an incredible coach, Léon is an extraordinary swimmer, but I can't accept he refused to shake hand with the chinese coach. If Sport is politics I don't want to be interested in it anymore (and btw,Pan is incredible, don't let any purple person tell me otherwise)
A priori , Léon n'a pas ignoré le coach Chinois intentionnellement. Idem avec la polémique sur la petite fille qui voulait un autographe .

Marchand won 0 medal at the last olympics, he then went to Bob Bowman and won 4 golds. I think that says enough
Is Leon suffering asthma too, much like Phelps?
get back to me when contaminated food shows up. just how did they happen anyway for the chinese
No he doesn't
Any other question ?
