We were able to catch Shane just before he left for the ISL season in Budapest. (Starting at timestamp 7:28). The guys discuss:
- Developing the explosiveness in the water that helped him become one of the world's best sprinters.
- The little details that go into the job of being a swimming pro - most notably how he puts together his income.
- The incredible support system in place for him in Ireland, and what it's like to train for a government-run national team.
- His experience at the Rio Olympics in 2016 as a rookie.
- What it means to now be Ireland's most visible swimming star.
- Growing the sport in Ireland and creating more opportunities for future swimmers.
- Joining an ISL expansion team as a free agent after a successful first season in the league.
- "Fitter Faster Faves:" his favorite question he gets when he runs clinics with the Fitter Faster Tour.
