About this episode
Today Brett speaks with American Legend, Tom Dolan. Forever burned into my memory will be Tom Dolan sitting atop the lane line after winning that 400 IM in Sydney...
They talk about growing up in the DC area. What he learned car pooling with Sergio Lopez and Roque Santos when he was still in high school.
Why he chose Michigan. The great Jon Urbanchek.
The 1995 National Championship. The team had 10 Olympians on it.
What he did the last length of warm down every practice.
Loving the ready room.
Overcoming asthma.
And much, much more.
