In this episode we look inside the mindset and training regime of top level sprinters. Our guest, Olympic butterflyer and freestyler Andrew Lauterstein talks about:
- The feeling of being in an Olympic final, the pressure and nerves before a race and he breaks down his 100m butterfly final in the 2008 Beijing Olympics
- Racing with the strategy of ‘not trying’ so that technique, rhythm and feel fall into place easier
- Why starting your catch early in the stroke can lead to faster sprinting
- What to focus on in butterfly for a smooth and powerful stroke
- Why he now does straight arm freestyle rather than bent arm freestyle
