#252 Carson Foster talks about World Champs, Ian Thorpe, & his mindset

After narrowly missing out on the Tokyo Olympic team last summer, Carson Foster didn't let that stop him. Instead, it fueled him.

Last week in Greensboro, Carson qualified to swim at World Championships in the 200 & 400 IM's as well as the 200 Free as part of the 4x200 Free Relay.

This interview is jam packed. Brett & Carson talk about Michael Phelps, Chase Kalisz, Ian Thorpe, Leon Marchand, the 4IM World Record, how he trains IM, and more.
