The Great Coaches: Leadership & Life

CHAPTER

Introduction

Bob Bowman is the coach of 23-time Olympic gold medalist American swimmer Michael Phelps. He has so far guided swimmers to 38 Olympic medals, as well as 43 world records. Bob talks about his view of the role of a coach as being a co-pilot, not someone with magic dust. The wonderful story of Beethoven's Night Symphony and how it shapes his approach to problem solving.
