In this episode of Ballers Brew, we dive into the fast lane with Olympian, elite coach, and podcast host Brett Hawke. From walking out behind the blocks at the Olympics to coaching NCAA champions and global stars, Brett shares the defining moments that shaped his identity in and out of the pool.
We explore the evolution of sprint swimming, what it takes to train for 21 seconds of explosive performance, and the cultural influences that shape elite environments. Brett unpacks how discomfort fuels growth, the mental game behind high-level coaching, and the personal “why” that drives his work in swimming and storytelling. He also reflects on standout interviews from Inside with Brett Hawke, the impact of international coaching experiences, and the timeless lessons that connect passion, purpose, and performance.
Whether you’re chasing speed, building a team, or searching for your edge—this one’s for you.
