The Big League with Michael Andrew | Off the Blocks Ep3

Michael Andrew has had unprecedented success as a junior-level swimmer -- more National Age Group records than anyone, several World Junior records. Now that world is behind him, and he will be looking for his chance to step up to the big leagues at the 2018 Phillips 66 National Championships.

[@sophiebiltz7819]

lol cody is in literally all of the "off the blocks" episodes

[@user-jl4dl2bb4e]

How did he get this good from swimming in a small pool and a coach that’s his dad that’s honestly incredible

[@tenningale]

Same format as one female Australian Olympian, forgot her name... Dad is her coach and they swim in a small 25m pool like that. A lot of it is just natural ability.

[@thepikachuoftexas3871]

That would be sweet to wake up and have your training pool a room down from where you sleep

[@defman9414]

makes it really hard to skip practice tho... ;-)

Has a coach as father, a private pool just steps away from where he lives, there is no reason why this kid shouldn’t excel, he is so fortunate. Work hard and he shall be a great swimmer.

[@flyboymic7182]

Yes pain‼️

[@yg9912]

Yea being 6’4 at 14 certainly helps someone get a ton of records. If everyone was that huge at 14 I doubt he would have so many.

[@teddydevaney3883]

B Ô T he still went 21 as a 12 year old and he wasn’t that big

[@yg9912]

Teddy Devaney I know people that went 21’s and 22’s as 12 year olds and weren’t nearly as tall. I’m not tryna hate on him but he wouldn’t be where he is without his super lucky genetics.

[@teddydevaney3883]

B Ô T okay but what’s happened as an age grouper doesn’t matter anymore, he’s taking on Dressel, manadou and more while being only an inch taller that Dressel, and several shorter than manadou, also he doesn’t have as much muscle mass as either of them

[@yg9912]

Teddy Devaney is he really challenging them though? Manadou maybe but not Dressel. The last good meet he’s had was nationals last year. Since then he hasn’t medaled in the world champs. Although he was close he got beat by a 39 year old in the 50 fly and got 4th. Also, he hasn’t done much in the ISL either. He’s a great athlete and probably better than I’ll ever be but he’s not as good as you make him out to be.

21.25 won’t be enough to beat Caeleb.

[@Underw0rld4]

phil null he doesnt have to

[@phil5037]

Mikey Dowd I know, but the editors of the video and Cody were trying to make it seem like he’s supposed to win the 50. He said himself that he wants to be the fastest in all four strokes in the 50.

[@Underw0rld4]

phil null cody said that caeleb was basically a lock to win all of those events even possibly with world records, he said his best shot at making the worlds team was in the 50 , not beating caeleb. Also michael said that was his goal by the end of his career not now

[@yuriy_gorobchuk6336]

Andrew Ng eh... a decent swim for Dressel is around 21.3 or 21.4. Most likely 21.25 would be enough.

[@AZMudcats5]

He went a 21.15 lmao

Okay, he is 'faster than the day before' every time? He plateau'ed in the 100 breast from 16 to 18, and not many males fail to progress during those two years.
