Joining us is Mat Trodden, the Deputy Head Coach of the University of Edinburgh Swim Team, who sheds light on the his innovative coaching methodologies, particularly in the realms of Strength and Conditioning and psychology. Our conversation journeys through the exceptional progress of the University of Edinburgh's star swimmers, including notable mentions like Kara Hanlon, Archie Goodburn, and Stephen Clegg.
