The Jack Swarbrick Show - Episode 4 (9/22/2016)
(Full Audio) - University Vice President and Director of Athletics Jack Swarbrick sits down to discuss the latest in Fighting Irish Athletics.
Segment 1: Introduction
Jack, senior football captain James Onwualu and senior softball pitcher Rachel Nasland recap last Saturday's football game against Michigan State. The trio also discusses interesting happenings of the current week on the practice field, specifically for Rachel and the softball team.
Segment 2 - Jack and Rachel talk with Dr. Duncan French, Notre Dame's director of performance sciences. Dr. French arrived at Notre Dame this past January, and works across all sports to provide a technical interface between coaches and support services, as well as coordinating the sports science initiatives that support competitive advantage. Prior to arriving at Notre Dame, French was a technical lead for strength and conditioning at the English Institute of Sport. He has worked three full Olympic cycles and has been the national lead for strength and conditioning for both Great Britain’s taekwondo and basketball Olympics programs since 2004.
Segment 3 - Jack and James sit down with Notre Dame senior football captain Mike McGlinchey. A native of Warrington, Pennsylvania, McGlinchey was a second team preseason All-America selection by CBS Sports after starting every game for the Irish in 2015. McGlinchey is set to play his 30th career game (18th start) at Notre Dame against Duke on Saturday.
Segment 4 - James and Rachel talk with the 2016 recipient of the Harvey G. Foster Award, Joe Echelle ('62). Echelle, who arrived in America in 1952 after previously living in a Displaced Persons Camp in Austria during World War II, is considered the forefather of the Notre Dame men's soccer program after establishing the University's first club team in the sport in 1961. Referred to by Hall of Fame sports owner Lamar Hunt as the "Knute Rockne of Notre Dame Soccer," Echelle enjoyed a long career as a professional soccer general manager and marketing executive, and has remained a key community contributor helping grow the game of soccer in various cities in the U.S. He shares stories of his time at Notre Dame, the U.S. Army after graduation, a pair of American football kicking battles with Pro Football Hall of Famers George Blanda and Lou Groza, and more.
