In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk to Texas A&M swimmer Ben Sytsma. Ben and I talk about his journey as a swimmer at Texas A&M, discussing the transition from high school to college swimming, the challenges of balancing academics and athletics, and the importance of recovery and team dynamics. He also reflects on his freshman year highlights, including being part of an All-American relay team, and the impact of injuries on his training. Lastly, Ben touches on the rivalries in college sports, the traditions at Texas A&M, and his aspirations for the future, including the possibility of competing at the Olympic trials. Thank you for joining the podcast Ben!
