Dolphins Coach Remigreert (SBS)

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH – This is the interview I did with Dolphins (Australian swim team) head coach Jacco Verhaeren. He started his career as a trainer at the young age of 19. He went on  (among other great successes) to coach Dutch swimmer Ranomi Kromowidjojo to two gold and one silver medal at the London Olympics of 2012. He then took the head coaching job down under. It turned out to be quite the clean-up job. While Tokyo 2020 should have been the highlight of his Aussie tour, the Corona crisis and family commitments threw a spanner into the works. I spoke with Jacco about doping scandals, familiy matters, and why Australians are better swimmers than the Dutch (that last one really hurt).
