What Caeleb Dressel has learned from Katie Ledecky
Katie Ledecky made the move to Gainesville after the Tokyo Olympics. She's not training with Caeleb, per se, but they are in the same pool. Here's what he has picked up from hanging out with her.
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.” ― Steve Jobs
