Show Notes
We're socially distant, but that doesn't mean we have to be anti-social. This is The Social Club.
Olympic legend Rowdy Gaines, a five-time national champion at Auburn, discusses what life is like when a dream is ripped away from an athlete. Gaines was unable to perform in his prime at the 1980 Olympics because the U.S. boycotted the Moscow Games. Forty years later he shares his story and how it might help athletes cope with the postponement of the Tokoy Games until 2021. Plus, he shares advice to seniors whose basketball seasons were cut short because of the coronavirus pandemic. Gaines opens up about the loneliness of swimming, the obstacles every athlete faces and much more in this first episode of The Social Club.
