• Treating every meet like NCAAs
• How his mindset has evolved after major championship experiences
• Where IM, versatility, and long-course goals fit long term
• What’s next as one of the fastest backstrokers in NCAA history

Will also answers audience questions, rapid-fire prompts, and shares insight into the training habits, culture, and confidence that have fueled one of the biggest breakout seasons in recent college swimming history.
