Off the Deck

Mike DeBoor started coaching with the Lakeside Seahawks in 1988 and has been their Head Coach since 1994. In his tenure, the Seahawks have placed four swimmers on US Olympic Teams and swimmers on 17 different USA Swimming National Teams. The 15-time Kentucky Senior Coach of the Year sits down on this week’s episode of Off the Deck with Chris Plumb. Chris and Mike discuss the early days of Mike’s coaching career and his transition from Head Age Group Coach to Head Coach at Lakeside. They also cover five components to which Mike attributes Lakeside’s long-standing success: retention, tradition, expectations, consistency, and atmosphere.
