The post-Games fallout also revealed major cultural concerns among the Aussie team that included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/could-pranks-by-relay-team-have-affected-aussie-performance-in-london\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an initiation at a pre-Games training camp<\/a> involving the sleeping pill Stilnox.<\/p>\n<p>Verhaeren has been credited as a major force behind reforms to the Aussie team since 2012, including instituting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/new-swimming-australia-four-year-plan-includes-earlier-selection-trials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new four-year framework<\/a> for the national team heading into the next Olympic quad following the 2016 Rio Olympics. That has included more stringent standards to qualify for international meets and a new shift for trials closer to major international meets, similar to the schedule in the United States for the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>While the new standards have resulted in leaner rosters for international meets, Verhaeren is quoted by the <em>Herald\u00a0<\/em>as stating the bar needed to be raised regarding qualification for major meets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is the reality of our sport,&#8221; Verhaeren commented. &#8220;There is some discretion because of tactical decisions you have to make regarding relays. But when it comes down to a set time, one one-hundredth too slow is one one-hundredth too slow. It keeps it very clear. This is the performance culture we want, although making the Olympics is a huge achievement. Nobody will deny that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can see the full article announcing Verhaeren&#8217;s departure following Tokyo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/sport\/swimming\/dolphins-head-coach-confirms-tokyo-2020-will-be-his-swansong-20190619-p51zb9.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swimming Australia Head Coach Jacco Verhaeren\u00a0announced that he will be vacating his post after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, per a report published in the\u00a0Sydney Morning Herald.\u00a0Verhaeren will be returning to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5743,"featured_media":107334,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[34385,16505,124,142,6725,24634],"class_list":["post-375921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-2020-tokyo-olympic-games","tag-jacco-verhaeren","tag-netherlands","tag-swimming","tag-swimming-australia","tag-world-championships"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
