In her pursuit of Olympic gold, Emma McKeon has decided to train under Michael Bohl at St. Peters Western, a team full of top, young talent. According to the Herald Sun<\/a>, McKeon, a specialist in freestyle and butterfly, made the decision after the selection trials last month.<\/p>\n

Not only is McKeon leaving coach Vince Raleigh at Chandler, but she will also no longer be training with her older brother David, a star in the 200m and 400m freestyle.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time McKeon has made the change in coaches; in the last year both she and David moved to Brisbane after training with their father Ron.<\/p>\n

In response to the change, “I think she is just at that point where she is not quite sure and I guess with kids it\u2019s probably happening a lot around Australia people if they\u2019re going to make changes it\u2019s probably now or just after worlds with the Olympics next year,” Michael Bohl told the Herald Sun.<\/p>\n

Regarding her relationship with her brother, Bohl emphasized to the Herald Sun, “there is no breakdown in their relationship (with her brother) or anything sinister there, it\u2019s just Emma is looking around to try and find a situation that best suits her.\u201d<\/p>\n

McKeon will be joining an increasingly talented squad. Madison Wilson and Mitch Larkin, both backstrokers, and butterflyer Madeline Groves are all possible medal contenders at Kazan later this summer.<\/p>\n

One trouble that can arise with such a young, talented team can be the issue of sharing events. McKeon currently swims the same events as Groves, Bronte Barratt, and Brittany Elmslie. Bohl doesn’t seem worried about it, however, informing the Herald Sun, iIt\u2019s just making sure that philosophy and attitude of everyone is on the same page and people are working together and we\u2019re all trying to get improvement out of everyone.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
