SWIMMING WORLD:<\/strong> <\/span>How did you get your start in the aquatic life?<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">A. COACH CATHERINE (VOGT) KASE:<\/span><\/strong> I started in Clearwater, Fla. at age 10 after riding horses and running track. Swimming was measurable, and I remember enjoying my friends on the team. When I was 13, my coach, Rico Maschino, told me I was a distance swimmer. Even though I was not very good, I enjoyed the attention!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>SW:<\/strong> <\/span>Who were your early influences?<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>CK:<\/strong><\/span> My junior and senior year in high school, I swam with Randy Erlenbach at the North Carolina Aquatic Club in Chapel Hill. I lived and went to school 90 minutes away in Pinehurst. My mother drove me to daily practice, allowing me to train, swim competitively and aspire to be the best I could be. The team was very welcoming, and I loved the training and repetition. After college, Randy helped me get into a coaching mindset.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>SW:<\/strong><\/span> You were a scorer for UNC at the ACC Championships in the 1650.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>CK:<\/strong><\/span> My college roommates made fun of me because I loved practice and all things swimming. During my junior and senior years, I stayed after college practice and coached the little NCAC kids and summer league\u2014that was fun! I am a much better coach than I was a swimmer.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>SW:<\/strong><\/span> You have terrific relationships and trust with your athletes. How have you cultivated those bonds?<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>CK:<\/strong><\/span> At UNC, I majored in education and psychology\u2014so, for me, coaching is all about relationships. The Carolina family taught me how important it is to connect with people, and I saw firsthand incredible coaches and leaders at UNC.<\/p>\n<p>I just look at the pool as my classroom, and I think about each individual, what motivates them, what their goals are, and I try to understand who each swimmer is as a person. That better informs me how I can challenge, communicate and understand what they are trying to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>The fun part is watching the journey. The process is different for everyone, but done right, it can be a mutually beneficial investment for coach and athlete.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-june-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">To read our full Q&amp;A with coach Catherine Kase,<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Click here to download the full June 2021 Issue of <em>Swimming World<\/em> Magazine<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><br \/>\nMichael J.
