E8 - Michael Glossop. Working with people that swim. They are not just swimmers!
Episode 8
Thursday, 10 July, 2025

In this conversation, Michael Glossop shares his unique journey in coaching. We discuss the importance of balance, identity, and legacy in the world of sports. Michael reflects on his experiences in swimming and how stepping away from coaching has provided him with new perspectives on the challenges faced by coaches. Michael emphasises the need for support, collaboration across sports, and the value of informal learning spaces. He also highlights the significance of family time and the importance of enjoying the journey rather than solely focusing on outcomes.You can connect with Michael on Linked-in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-glossop-59128717a/Check out our new website and coaches resources below, as well as sign up for any of our NINE free coach CPD’s across England and Scotland this summer: https://aprace.club/pages/coaches-community
