Well, the Michigan Swimming and Diving Program has had a solid season.

Matt Bow, the head coach, stops by to give us his perspective on where this team is

and what the preparation looks like for those Big Ten championships.

That's up next on Conquering Heroes.

Welcome to your one-stop podcast for all things Michigan Athletics.

Updates on every team on campus and interviews with players and coaches are all on the way.

This is Conquering Heroes.

Here's your host, John Chanson.

We're joined now by the head coach of the men's and women's swimming and diving program.

Matt Bow and Matt, I'm curious because it's very unique.

You have to schedule, you have to compete, and you have to coach so many different aspects,

men's and women's, but also swimming and diving. What's the

biggest challenge for you? I think honestly, it's kind of a different role when you have both

teams. And I see myself almost as a CEO now, and then I have really good coaches that work more

closely with the athletes, with individual groups.

And so I think that was something that I had to get comfortable with, right, as an assistant

coach, as an associate head coach. I've always been on pool deck every single practice,

you know, like great relationships with every single athlete.

And just the role really changed, I think, when I took over as head coach.

You just, you have to bring in great assistance.

You have to trust them, you know, trust that they understand the plan.

And thankfully, I've got that here.
