Episode notes
In this episode of Life in Lane 4, host Anton Beregovoi talks with Brayden Morford, a junior at Carnegie Mellon University, about how he balances academics with the demands of college swimming. Brayden explains how he keeps up with schoolwork during major meets, how he manages nerves when the pressure is high, and why effective recovery actually starts before practice even begins. He shares the habits, routines, and mindset shifts that help him perform in the pool and in the classroom — offering practical advice for any student-athlete aiming to excel in both.
