“It all starts with the 5 AM alarm.” In this episode of Life in Lane 4, I sit down with Tommy Yaegel, an incoming freshman at Fairfield University, to talk about the mental and physical grind of competing at futures meets. We cover everything from handling race-day intimidation to how he adapts his strategy between short course and long course. Plus, Tommy opens up about the discipline it takes to stay focused, keep his grades up, and crush the SAT—all while chasing big goals in the pool.
Thank you to Paul De Pacas for intro, outro, and buffer music.
