When an Olympic cycle culminates, there\u2019s a rest and a re-evaluation before committing to the next four years. There\u2019s a regrouping to assess what the priorities are and where a coach of Schubert\u2019s pedigree wants to be when the next Olympics convene.<\/p>\n<p>At 72, Schubert felt that after this most recent and most unique Olympic cycle, the time was right to take a step back.<\/p>\n<p>Schubert resigned on Thursday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamunify.com\/team\/scmvn\/page\/system\/coaches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as the head coach<\/a> of Mission Viejo Nadadores, the club at which he made his name in the 1970s as one of the world&#8217;s premier swim coaches and where he returned in 2016 to keep Mission Viejo atop the American swimming world.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAfter the Olympics and with COVID and everything, it was a pretty hard couple of years,\u201d Schubert told <em>Swimming World. <\/em>\u201cWe had a successful Trials, and I was proud of how the athletes did in the Olympics.

He didn\u2019t close the door on ever coaching again, however, saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know what opportunities may come up, but I\u2019m always open to opportunity, and you never know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s accomplished just about all there is to achieve on the pool deck, bringing a unique training approach to Mission Viejo that revolutionized American swim coaching.

Mark&#8217;s dedication and hard work helped thousands of athletes achieve their goals and dreams, including dozens of Olympians, and impacting athletes from all-over the world.
