Team USA has arrived in Tokyo for the 2018 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, and with Cody Miller off the team this year, that leaves Michael Andrew as the primary unofficial team vlogger.
In his latest video, Andrew takes us through the team’s training camp in southern California, including a workout with his dad Peter Andrew, gear pickup, and generally hanging-out at the hotel.
Things we learn from the video:
- Andrew Seliskar is good at ping-pong.
- USA Swimming’s swag this year looks really good.
- Michael Andrew swam a workout with Gregg Troy. Let that sink in.
- His next vlog is going to answer the question you all want to know: how does MA train when his dad isn’t around.
@swimmermichael he is a great swimmer like to read everything about him … im his fan
20×400 best average vs. 25 and get out
Nice video to watch. I understand that he is maintaining his brand with the vlog, but I am curious how it feels to the rest of the team? Perhaps his teammates don’t care one bit, but I tend to roll my eyes at people who walk around recording themselves. Maybe I’m just old.
Great Vlog Michael! I am looking forward to the next one.
For those who complain that the Andrews won’t consider other, more traditional training methods, the fact is, they have. From his own experience as a competitive swimmer, Peter questioned the traditional approach to training. (The nerve!) Intuitively and logically, he believed that it didn’t add up, that there must be a better way. While scouring the available literature, he found Rushall’s philosophy and it immediately resonated with his intuition. He embraced the race pace approach and has been rewarded for it every step of the way with unprecedented success—while also enduring constant attacks. What most people don’t understand is that the Andrews do massive amounts of thinking and research. They are hungry for information, which requires an open-mindedness that’s rare,… Read more »
People in the past barely train like Johnny Weissmuller. If USPT existed in the 1920’s he probably would have been great at it.
Don’t u know there are more important issues at hand such as how to pronounce Adidas. But seriously I would tell you at this point most people believe MA would be successful under any swim training method. He just might be a different swimmer and people will always be curious about what type of swimmer he would be if he swam at Texas or Cal as examples.
Great Vlog Michael.
Happy for you!
And good luck to all you proud Americans representing all of us regulars laying on couches eating potato chips and drinking mountain dew with our clickers and Samsungs..Iphones.
Great video Michael. I look forward to more….like what it’s like to train under Troy? 😳👍💪🇺🇸
Was starting to like him more than he said Adidas like that…..
It is the correct pronunciation.
The brand was founded by a man named Adolph Dassler. Considering the extremely unfortunate luck he had to have been given the worst name in history before it became the worst name in history, he went by the name “Adi Dassler.” Shortening the name isn’t “uh-DEE-duss,” but “Ah-dee-DASS.”
His brother Rudolph “Rudi” founded Puma. Puma is in the same town. The brothers had an acrimonious split. There are adidas families and Puma families, but ne’er the twain shall meet.
At one point, arena was owned by adidas.
BTW, that’s “Ah-ree-NA”.
I thought it was Ah- ren- Ah
