Golden Games for Dolphins And Rohan Is Now Taylor-Made For Paris 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Temporary Head Coach Rohan Taylor,<\/strong> the man who steered Australia\u2019s Dolphins to its most successful Games ever at the Tokyo Olympics, has earned himself a full time role \u2013 head coach for the next Games in Paris in 2024.<\/p>\n

Swimming Australia today confirmed Taylor\u2019s elevation to a full-time appointment through to December 2024 \u2013 with next year\u2019s World Championships in Fukuoka in May and the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in July his next campaigns.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins Swim team returned from Tokyo with a record haul of 21 medals (nine gold; three silver and nine bronze) \u2013 the most ever gold and medal tally \u2013 topping Melbourne\u2019s eight gold and Beijing\u2019s 20 total medals.<\/p>\n

Taylor temporarily took over the reins of the team following the departure of previous Head Coach Jacco Verhaeren<\/strong> in June 2020, who returned to his home country of the Netherlands for family reasons and has since been appointed Head of Performance for the French Team for 2024.<\/p>\n

After serving as Mentor Coach under Verhaeren, Taylor credits the former Dutchman for setting up the systems which he took over \u2013 and implementing his own style and brand of leadership, steering the Dolphins through a COVID crisis that threatened the Games.<\/p>\n

Under the mantra \u201cWe make each other better,\u201d Taylor developed a team ethos of individual authenticity for swimmers and coaches \u2013 and it shone through with a record medal tally.<\/p>\n

The ensuing spirit shone through as the senior brigade led by the Campbell <\/strong>girls Cate <\/strong>and Bronte<\/strong>, Emily Seebohm<\/strong> and the unstoppable star of the team Emma McKeon<\/strong> wrapped themselves around debutants like Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> and Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> \u2013 who won five gold medals between them.<\/p>\n

The previous head coach at successful club programs at Carey Aquatic and Nunawading, Taylor was appointed State Head Coach (Victoria and Tasmania) for Swimming Australia.<\/p>\n

He built and strengthened key relationships within the team, in an additional role as Coach Leader on numerous campaigns, giving him the perfect platform and allowing for a seamless transition to take over as Head Coach, after Verhaeren departed \u2013 and the smart move to appoint the highly respected former National Head Coach Leigh Nugent as his Mentor Coach.<\/p>\n

Taylor will be joined in leading the Olympic program with Tamara Sheppard,<\/strong> previously General Manager High Performance and also Team Leader in Tokyo, who has been appointed as High Performance Director,<\/p>\n

Both roles reporting directly into the CEO.<\/p>\n

Taylor said he was thrilled to take on the role to see the team through to Paris 2024, saying: \u201cI am so incredibly proud of what we achieved in Tokyo \u2013 athletes, coaches and staff included \u2013 and the great environment we have built in this team over the past few years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a shorter cycle to Paris now, I look forward to continuing the work with our coaches and athlete leaders to build on this success and maintaining the fantastic culture we have created.<\/p>\n

\u201dSheppard will be responsible for overseeing the strategic direction of high performance, including performance support and innovation, pathway development and Paralympic swimming.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a part of the leadership team in Tokyo was incredibly special and I felt very privileged to be able to witness the success of the team, achieved through the hard work of all the athletes and coaches,\u201d said Sheppard who looked forward to leading the high performance arm of the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know we have a world-leading high performance program and I look forward to working with our staff and coaches to continue to build on the success of Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Out-going Swimming Australia CEO Alex Baumann <\/strong><\/a>said the appointments of Taylor and Sheppard will set the team up strongly heading into the next Olympic campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cRohan has done an outstanding job leading this team through the challenges of COVID and creating an environment where athletes and coaches are able to thrive,\u201d Baumann said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Board and I are fully supportive of re-contracting Rohan through to Paris following our most successful Olympic campaign ever.<\/p>\n

\u201c(While) in the last 18 months, Tamara has shown great leadership in challenging times and stepping up into the role of High Performance Director is a natural progression for her and extremely well deserved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no doubt she will work tirelessly to continue to build on our world-leading environment for athletes and coaches to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor and Sheppard will begin their roles effective immediately.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile The Dolphins Paralympic campaign kicks off on Wednesday in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
