Coach DeSelm joined Stephen McCarthy to talk about raising up the next generation of young athletes and more specifically the next generation of swimmers.

For over 35 years, Coach DeSelm has either participated or coached swimmers.   Coach mentioned that winning and losing does not bring joy to sport.  While he feels the winning and losing do play a part, it is not the most important part. He maintains that the joy of the activity or participating in sports and becoming your best is the key to long-term success in life and sport.
