How They Train: Delta State’s Emanuel Fava<\/span><\/h1>\n

By Michael J. Stott<\/span><\/p>\n

At six feet tall, Emanuel Fava from Turin, Italy has bolstered Delta State swimming in a big way. Influenced by his prior friendship with team members, he began school in January 2019 and immediately qualified for the NCAA Division II Championships.<\/p>\n

In just 15 months of collegiate competition, he has become a seven-time NCAA All-American and D-II champion in the 200 yard IM (1:44.10). In addition to that event, he holds school records in the 200 back (1:44.44) and 200 medley relay (1:26.03 with a 21.66 backstroke leg), and he\u2019s been a seven-time New South Intercollegiate Swim Conference champion. Fava was primed to<\/p>\n

claim more accolades last March until coronavirus concerns canceled the D-II national championships with Delta State\u2019s men in second place after the first day.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmanuel is a former gymnast and has very good body control in the gym and in the water,\u201d says his coach, Dan\u2019l Murray. \u201cHe is athletic and one of our stronger athletes. In the pool, he is always conscious of his technique and will not abandon form for speed. Very coachable, he has a strong commitment to doing things right all the time. Emanuel does a very good job balancing race details, technique and effort on anything he does in the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a good communicator with quite a sense of humor. Emanuel asks good questions for clarification before doing sets and on occasion to delay the start of the set. He is a very good teammate and gets along with everyone,\u201d says Murray.<\/p>\n

COACH MURRAY ON DELTA STATE TRAINING<\/span>
\nWe have three decidedly different groups. Emanuel is in our sprint group. The training is regularly on the higher end of fast-effort repeats, lactate tolerance and production, race pace, skill acquisition work, power sessions and speed endurance throughout the year.<\/p>\n

This group has higher quality and intensive efforts, and is lower on volume compared to the others. It is not for everyone. These athletes must have a strong desire to improve their kicking skills. If they are able to think and race at the same time and are willing to run through walls, they will have success in this group.<\/p>\n

020<\/span> THE TROUBLE WITH SPRINTERS (Part 4): REVISITING THE CAREER OF GARY HALL JR.<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Bruce Wigo<\/strong>
\nAs Dave Marsh and Mike Bottom explained in the previous issue, if there is a problem with sprinters, it is because, mentally, they are wired differently from other athletes. Potential trouble then seems to start when coaches and administrators are unable to understand their behavior and their needs. But while causing trouble for some, the aquatic sports world would not be where it is today without the rebellious personalities of sprinters.<\/p>\n
