This book is designed from top to bottom to help swimmers understand how sprint swimming actually works so that they can train smarter.'
Backed by over 250 peer-reviewed studies in biomechanics, physiology, and sprint performance, as well as decades of accumulated practical experience swimming and coaching at the highest levels of the sport, The 50 Freestyle Blueprint is the most evidence-based guide ever written for the event.

Raptors extend Bobby Webster as GM, not replacing Masai Ujiri's role as president for time being
The Toronto Raptors announced they have extended Bobby Webster's contract as general manager and will not replace Masai Ujiri as president for the time being. Webster has been with the club since 2013. The president position became open the day after the draft in June, when Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the company that owns the Raptors along with other teams and properties in Toronto, announced the firing of Ujiri. MLSE CEO Keith Pelley said Webster would be a candidate to take over the president's job on the day of the firing, but the club also partnered with CAA Executive Search to look for its next leader. Advertisement While other candidates, such as former Golden State Warriors president and general manager Bob Myers, Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard and former Raptors coach Dwane Casey emerged, Webster, 40, was always the favorite for the job. Webster was already doing much of the daily work while Ujiri was still in place, and is generally respected around the NBA for his dealmaking and knowledge of the league's collective bargaining agreement. For now, the position will go unfilled. 'Going through this comprehensive process this summer and meeting with external candidates played a critical role in arriving at this decision as it made clear that we already have the right person leading the Raptors in-house,' Pelley said in a team statement. 'When we weighed the many considerations, including roster construction, team culture and competitive landscape, it made perfect sense to officially hand the team to Bobby and give him the time and support to allow his plan to develop. 'After spending time together this summer in Las Vegas, I was very impressed by Bobby's leadership style, his rapport with the players and staff, his reputation with his peers across the league and — especially and importantly — his vision for the Raptors. This team is his, now, to lead and I know we all look forward to what comes next.' Webster came to the Raptors as vice president of basketball management and strategy, with Ujiri hiring him away from the league to become his third in command. He became general manager in 2017, when Jeff Weltman left the Raptors to become the president of the Orlando Magic. When Ujiri was let go, Pelley made it a point to say Webster would remain in place and provide stability for the organization throughout the offseason. The Raptors hired Ujiri as president the year after he was named Executive of the Year with the Denver Nuggets, and he went on to lead the Raptors to a playoff berth in each of his first seven years on the job, including the team's lone championship in 2019. He became one of the highest-paid executives in 2021, a negotiation that upset Edward Rogers, the executive chair of Rogers Communications, then a minority partner in MLSE, which became the majority owner of the organization earlier this year. While Ujiri consistently downplayed the friction in his relationship with Rogers, the idea that Ujiri would stay in place well into the ownership change seemed unlikely. Spot the pattern.
