Ralph Crocker Interview

Posted by Glenn Mills on Jan 19, 2007 08:46AM (2,423 views)

As many of you know, swimming lost one of it's most talented coaches last week. In digging through some old footage, we were lucky enough to find a short clip of video from some interviews that were conducted last summer.

DESCRIBE THE IMAGE While this is a very quick clip, we think it will help you understand the real spirit of Ralph, especially at the beginning. His good nature with friends, quick wit, and knowledge of the sport will all be missed.

Enjoy this, and pass it around. This is how we'll remember Ralph, and hope those of you who didn't know him, will appreciate what a great man he really was. By the way, in the interview, Ralph is initially discussing a subject with a very good friend, Donald Gibb. While we'd love to show the entire exchange, it's probably not a great idea... guys will be guys.

I had the opportunity to meet Ralph at an Auburn Masters Swim Camp. He was a great guy and a great coach/teacher. Thanks for sharing the interview and getting the word out.
