Mario has been training this past season with us here in Jacksonville and honestly doing a very good job. He is one of the best talents I have seen in swimming. I remember when I was coaching at West Virginia and saw him swim for the first time at Croatian Nationals I really wanted him to become a Mountaineer but the following year I left college coaching :-( It is funny how life works and now we have had the opportunity to work together.
Mario besides being a very gifted swimmer he is a great person and a true professional. From day one he has adaptad to our way of training at Bolles and always being an amazing example to our young swimmers. It is a privilege to coach him and have him around our young sharks. He is not fuly rested or shaved for this meet since he will be in Barcelona for Worlds, but I still believe that he will do very well in Kazan.
GOOD LUCK Tonight!!!
Go Marios!
Go BOLLES!!!
