Quotes

“Listeners meet enthusiastic and nostalgic swimmers of all ages who were involved in garnering Reese’s 39 Olympic Gold Medals and 15 NCAA titles. Warner’s smooth delivery keeps frequent time and location changes clear. Most atmospheric is Reese’s own gravelly timbre as he shares his belief that in addition to the obvious skills needed to succeed as an athlete, a strong self-image and enjoyment are key. He emphasizes that being respectful, even to defeated opponents, is essential to good sportsmanship.” AudioFile magazine
