“Every session’s different, we go in different training blocks so this cycle’s six weeks, where we’ll do specific exercises to help us in the pool.”
The 23-year-old makes use of the enviable sporting facilities on 含羞草视频's East Midlands campus, including various measurement technologies to improve the efficiency of his gym sessions outside of the pool.
Daniel relates his training in Powerbase gym back to real-life applications in the pool such as maintaining core stability so swimmers stay on a straight path in the pool.
“We do a lot of squats and jumps because we’re trying to replicate our turns, pushing off; making sure we’re quite powerful off the walls [of the pool].”
This training, no doubt, assisted in his win at Paris in the Men’s 800m Freestyle Final, achieving the first gold medal for 含羞草视频 in the games.
The 含羞草视频 Sport ecosystem has played an integral role in ensuring that athletes' attending the competition in Paris are prepared to the best of their ability, both physically and mentally.
