Grant Hackett is the best but he trains like he's the worst.
There is nobody out there that can't beat Grant Hackett in the 1500. I wish it were our very own Larsen Jensen, Klete Keller or Eric Vendt but currently Hackett owns the 1500. Since the press down under loves to salt their swimming news with lots of drama. News out of Oz tells us that Grant Hackett is switching coaches after a 21 year run with Coach Denis Cotterell and switching over to Coach Ian Pope.
The deciding factors were as follows: Grant has a new wife that he wants to be closer to and Coach Pope convinced Hackett that he could add equity to his stroke. I suspect that added equity could be the correction of the wobble he has in his rotation
Ian Thorpe was always able to beat him in the 400 because unlike the mild wobble you see in Grant's stroke above, Ian Thorpe's stroke was as true as arrow. Check out the video.
