2:03 you can see Bob almost tearing up after Leon said that this experience has helped him in his life. At the end of the day, that's what coaching is all about, what can you give your athletes that they can carry throughout the rest of their lives

Bowman is the same proud dad than Popovich is with his players

Obviously Bob knew he was leaving ASU for UT. But you can tell that Leon knew as well.

I got the opportunity to jump in the water with my team and coach the one time we won our sectional championship. It’s one of the greatest feelings you’ll ever experience.

Emotionnal interview. Nice. Both the coach and the little Frenchy.

I hope coach Pop will do the same kind of interview with Wemby in a few years... and i wish Léon and Victor to strike gold this summer.

This guys created the greatest olympian and now cultivating another young talent 👏

Vraiment beau à entendre. De la part du coach et de ce petit français

all mics on table are french medias 😂

yes, all four of them. Though technically RMC is Radio Monte Carlo and that's not France

@@sylvainguinepain5624 Nope, aside from the name RMC is technicallly a French media (TV and radio channels) owned by Altice Media (99.9% of the shares) recently bought by CMA CGM. The Principality of Monaco only owns 0.1% of the shares. But don't take my word for it and check it out by yourself. You're conflating RMC with the way lesser known Radio Monaco, owned by Gildo Pastor. De plus, à l'origine (1942) la société radio Monte Carlo n'était qu'une société-écran qui appartenait conjointement à Deutsche Auslands Rundfunk Gesellschaft Interradio, l'organisme nazi chargé de contrôler les radios à l'extérieur du Reich et l’Omnium français d’études et de participations (OFEPAR), créé spécialement avec l'aide de banques au tout début de 1942 pour gérer les intérêts français dans la société franco-allemande.

Hybrid french/american accent.

Wish Leon would swim for USA instead of France...considering he's mooching off of U.S resources...

He's not mooching off us resources, he's literally working for ASU. He is that program. Think of the resources and publicity the program gains because of this championship.

@@verward true, student-athletes are the backbone of NCAA which is a cash machine. And even if swimming isn’t basketball or football (cash machine for the best school), his sole presence helped ASU to have a program which is a NCAA team champion, a great publicity stunt for the whole ASU athletic department. And they will probably brag about his potential Olympic medals on their website… to promote their winning culture and solid program to attract future prospect (in swimming…).

@@joshfriedel5999 If bowman was not in ASU, he would have probably gone somewhere else and so he gave more to his school than most athletes (foreign or US) do. Mooching off US resources (via ASU) isn’t so the right thing to say. A symbiotic relationship (where both parties help each other) will be closer to reality and imo ASU is even the one whose lucky. Don’t forget that Leon was already an Olympian and a national record holder before going to the US. And to be honest, about « mooching off of US resources » is a hard thing to say when you talk about US universities. US universities have gigantic tuitions and foreigners pays full tuitions for which they don’t get the same help for financing than US citizens (especially for public universities). So US universities are usually very happy to get foreign students, they usually make money with them. Foreigners are also a very large part of graduate student body, post-doc or faculty which the heart of all their research which allows them to call themselves « world best universities ». So, when we talk about US especially via their universities, saying that the US really knows how to attract foreign talents is more realistic than saying that some foreigners are « mooching off US resources ».
