#22	And WHO Are YOU? October 13, 2009 at 8:57am OK, that's just not right. Nick Bruneli, a National Team 50 Freestyler, came out of the same program. Josh was Nick's coach too! Both guys are GREAT GUYS too, just like Josh. reply
#21	Josh Stern October 12, 2009 at 9:20pm Stern...squids.....that program over trained kids in to the ground.... they got lucky that Vendt was indestructible!! reply
#20	Anonymous Coward October 12, 2009 at 1:21pm Not to mention Josh Stern, who was Vendt's coach when he became the first US man under 15 min in the 1500. Then Vendt went to USC and was coached by Schubert. The only common denominator is Vendt! reply
#19	Anonymous Coward October 12, 2009 at 1:19pm eric vendt's coach was john urbanchek. bob bowman was the head coach of michigan, but john is the distance coach. bob bowman did great with michael phelps, 8 gold medals what can you say? but to coach phelps to that much gold takes away from the other swimmers, which is why john and bob make a great team reply

#3	BigGuy_x November 9, 2007 at 5:06pm Concentrating on the "process of success" not the "outcome" of the race. So simple but so powerfull. Candid insights like this coming from experts like Bob Bowman will make this site a must for swimmers. reply
