Michael Bohl is one of Australia\u2019s leading Olympic swim coaches who is priming his troops in what will be a fifth Olympic campaign describing the four-year “Big Dance” as \u201ctrying to get a predictable outcome in a very unpredictable environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Olympics is a very tough environment,\u201d said Bohl, who is running the National backstroke and butterfly camp on the Gold Coast this week for all Olympic aspirants.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo back to Rio\u2026 things went wrong coming into the meet in terms of air conditioning units falling from the roof, lifts breaking down, having questionable accommodation facilities, all those things can go wrong at an Olympics so I think it\u2019s preparing them for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we are not going into the Sheraton Hotel, it\u2019s dorm style accommodation; the meals are very basic, so the ones that adjust to that unpredictable environment are the ones that normally compete and swim very very well over there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess it\u2019s preparing them for that\u2026there\u2019s a lot of distractions\u2026 if you are a bad sleeper\u2026you are going to have trouble over at the Olympics\u2026trying to get them ready for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a sports psychologist coming in for the week, trying to teach some relaxation techniques.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrying to get them off at night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a swimmer I had back at the 2012 Olympics coming into the meet he was only getting two to three hours of sleep per night because he was so anxious about having to compete.<\/p>\n

“So learning those skills 16-20 weeks out from the Olympics is a really good thing so I think exposing them to those things and just sharing those experiences that I have been lucky enough to have over the four Olympics that I\u2019ve been to will help the group in particular throughout this week\u2026.You are trying to get a predictable outcome in a very unpredictable environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

His top charge is four-time Olympic medallist from Rio, Australia’s “Most Valuable” Swimmer\u00a0Emma McKeon,<\/strong> who has joined her coach on the camp at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

And one of the hottest topics of discussion today centred around \u201cmorning finals” which will again be centre stage in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t actually looked at the morning and nights and finals in the morning,\u201d admitted McKeon, Australia\u2019s most successful swimmer in Rio and at last year\u2019s World Championship where she won six medals \u2013 three of them gold in the relays.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it will be a busy week but I\u2019ve had a lot of practice for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to the US in April (for the Mission Viejo Meet) and they are doing a morning finals practice, so it will be good to give that a go. I\u2019m not actually much of a morning person even though I wake up so early\u2026but I\u2019m trying to become a morning person.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the Olympics, even with morning heats you still have to swim fast. I\u2019m just doing what I can now to practice with that, working on my sleeping and things like that, having naps in the day to replicate doing a heat in the night. It will be hard to juggle but I\u2019m excited for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving experience is always going to be an advantage. I just learn more about myself every time I go to one of those meets, you just become mentally stronger as well, so you aren\u2019t falling in a heap on day three.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd just enjoying it more as well\u2026 when I look back on the week I don\u2019t want to feel so exhausted and realise I haven\u2019t taken anything in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bohl reflected on the \u201cmorning finals in 2008\u201d saying:\u201d Going into Beijing, it was exactly the same\u2026we have got experience with that..the Beijing format in 2008 was exactly the same\u2026all it\u2019s really doing is shifting the mindset.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe as coaches try and program more main sets in the morning; traditionally we program main sets in the afternoon, in my own individual program we do one Saturday morning main set so what we are going to do is include a Thursday morning and a Saturday morning (main set) to try ad remedy that.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s like doing a little more extra activation in the morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know one of the things that we did in Beijing we took the swimmers down to the pool early in the morning before the finals so we went down to the pool at 7am and went back and had breakfast before going back for the finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts just doing those things and incorporating that in to your home program\u2026to try and get them ready..the big part of it is just the mind set needs to change, because if you are not ready there will be other swimmers there that will be ready to go with that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
