There was a standard for work I needed to learn - Norm Wright Top Podcast
At the time of this recording, Norm Wright was the head coach and CEO of the Northern Kentucky Clippers. He is currently the Associate Head Coach/Senior Gold for NOVA of Virginia. Coach Norm is in the top 3 percent of coaches due to his ASCA Level 5 coach rank.
Norm spent 4 seasons with the Clippers and within his first 3 seasons, he managed to provide 6 swimmers with the opportunity to swim at the 2016 Olympic Trials. Along with various competitive success, Wright implemented the "Clippers Development Model" to the organization.
