Special Sets: Training The Professional Athlete -Then and Now- with Coach Gregg Troy<\/span><\/h1>\n
By Michael J. Stott<\/span><\/p>\n
In his lengthy career, Gregg Troy has mentored athletes of all ages and abilities, which has given him a unique perspective of how to prepare post-college grads for excellence at the international level.<\/strong><\/p>\n
For 20 years (1977-97), Gregg Troy coached The Bolles School boys and girls to 25 state team titles and five of the school\u2019s 18 mythical high school national championships (awarded by Swimming World Magazine).<\/p>\n
He also coached at the University of Florida (1998-2015) and led the Gator women to an NCAA title (2010), served as Pan American Games head coach twice (1995 and 1999\/men) and an Olympic assistant twice (1996\/women and 2008\/men), and was head coach of the 1992 Thailand Olympic team and the 2012 U.S. men\u2019s Olympic squad.<\/p>\n
Now coaching with the ISL\u2019s Cali Condors and the Gator Swim Club as its high-performance coach, Troy admits, \u201cThere is a difference between training college athletes and the professionals. The individual differences are greater, and the planning and scope are much longer. Here we are on a two-year plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Troy trained most of his present group as collegians. They are predominantly 200-and-down swimmers (race time under 2:30) with about half representing foreign nations. Familiar names (mostly male) include Caeleb Dressel, Ryan Lochte, Tom Peribonio, Nils Wich-Glasen and Joe Martinez. Ages of the athletes range from early 20s to 36 (Lochte).<\/p>\n
WHAT\u2019S DIFFERENT<\/span>
\nUnlike collegians, Troy\u2019s present group includes professionals who are slightly more specialized. That means fewer people with greater variety within the practice itself.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile these athletes are putting as much time in the water as before, consistency of training and regular practice attendance remains extremely important,\u201d he says. \u201cIt is worth noting the structure of that practice time is age-dependent and event-specific. Swimmers are doing less threshold work, and it is spread out more, especially when we go max volume.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore they may have been doing between 2,000-3,500 plus threshold; now it\u2019s more in the 1,500-2,000 range. When we do quality, it is higher and better because the athletes are mentally more mature.
\n\u201cThe training is much more a cooperative effort because of the smaller group size and maturity of the athlete,\u201d he says. That communication allows each swimmer to get precisely what he needs and is most likely quite different from his lane mates.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do every bit as much long swimming\u2014generally about 85% of previous volume,\u201d says Troy. \u201cGroup dryland is done in stations, but the bulk is accomplished with other coaches and exercise-specific trainers. In any case, I coordinate what they are doing in the water.
\n\u201cOur training is focused on long course. That said, strength work is really, really important, though not so much as in short course. The swimmers have different strength coaches, so individual programs are modified. One similarity is that the athletes tend to get off weights a bit sooner, given that strength maturity comes with age,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

012<\/span> THE PRIDE OF GIRLS\u2019 POLO IN THE GATEWAY CITY<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Michael Randazzo<\/strong>
\nWhen COVID-19 lockdowns last spring stopped polo, Rob Peglar and Abby VerMeer didn\u2019t hesitate: they focused on getting girls water polo untracked in the Gateway City. The result: the St. Louis Lions, the city\u2019s first all-girls team.<\/p>\n
014<\/span> ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL<\/strong><\/span>

\nThe popular motto of The Musketeers, built on supporting each other as well as the group, is just one of many reasons why the University of Texas remains among the strongest in men\u2019s college swimming and diving.<\/p>\n

\nby Andy Ross<\/strong>
\nMelanie Margalis is an Olympic relay gold medalist and a three-time relay champion at Worlds, but a podium finish in an individual event has eluded her on the world\u2019s biggest stage. After ranking No. 1 in the 400 IM and No. 3 in the shorter medley for 2020, her turn to win a medal for the United States could take place this year in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
022<\/span> PERSEVERANCE AND HARD\u00a0 WORK PAY OFF<\/strong><\/span>
\nby David Rieder<\/strong>
\nAfter not qualifying for Australia\u2019s Olympic team in 2012, Emma McKeon was ready to quit…but over the next several months, she had a change of heart and understood what was necessary to compete at a higher level. Since then, she has become a significant international force, a consistent podium presence and one of the world\u2019s most impactful relay swimmers.<\/p>\n
026<\/span> TAKEOFF TO TOKYO:\u00a0TARNISHED GOLD<\/strong><\/span>
\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nEast Germany\u2019s Kristin Otto will long be remembered as a highly decorated athlete, and for turning in one of the greatest Olympic outings in history, winning six gold medals at the 1988 Games. But because of the links to her and performance-enhancing drugs, what she accomplished\u2014before and in Seoul\u2014will always be tainted.<\/p>\n

\nby Bruce Wigo<\/strong>
\nShortly after the 1936 Olympics in a lab in Boston, Harold \u201cDoc\u201d Edgerton, an electrical engineering professor at MIT, began tinkering with equipment that would change the way science explains natural phenomena\u2014and with it, the art of aquatic sports photography\u2014forever.<\/p>\n

016<\/span> SELLING PROCESS TO\u00a0SWIMMERS (Part 2)<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Michael J. Stott<\/strong>
\nIn 1993, psychologist Anders Ericsson wrote that greatness wasn\u2019t born, but grown. Fifteen years later, author Malcolm Gladwell suggested that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery in a skill or field. Known by the term, \u201cprocess,\u201d swim coaches use that learning curve to improve the performance of their swimmers.<\/p>\n
036<\/span> SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: FREESTYLE TECHNIQUE FOR SPRINT AND DISTANCE (Part 2)<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Rod Havriluk<\/strong>
\nOptimal freestyle technique for sprint and distance is identical with respect to the arm motion throughout the stroke cycle, but the arm coordination is different. While a swimmer can swim a wide range of velocities with opposition coordination, a swimmer will only achieve his\/her fastest velocity with superposition coordination.<\/p>\n
