Bob Bowman (coach)

Swimming, North Baltimore, Michigan, Arizona State and Texas. Bowman coached Michael Phelps from the age of 11 to 23 Olympic gold medals, and later coached Léon Marchand to four individual golds in Paris in 2024. His book The Golden Rules describes the methods behind them: long-term planning, rehearsing races in the mind before they happen and deliberately practising for things going wrong, such as swimming with goggles full of water.
