Caeleb Dressel and the Tale of Two Sprinters | Off the Blocks S2 Ep1

- The summer of 2018 wasn’t as successful as for Caeleb Dressel as he had hoped, while fellow sprinter Michael Andrew racked up win after win at the Phillips 66 National Championships.
That’s all in the past now, and Dressel has returned to training, hungry for this summer’s FINA World Championships. In the meantime, Andrew has had continued success at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Knoxville.
“Off the Blocks,” Season 2 follows Dressel, Andrew and the other top USA Swimming National Team members as they compete in the TYR Pro Swim Series and prepare for the biggest competitions of the season, including the 2019 Open Water National Championships and the 2019 FINA World Championships.

That shark dancing in the background tho
I’m dead 🤣😂
Honestly Caeleb is such an inspiration, he is probably my favorite swimmer ever. I think many swimmers can relate to him, he is very real and he shows what the sport is rly like.
Me me me me!
This series is fantastic, hope it continues to shed more light on the sport of swimming!
Edit: I also love how Cody Miller is in every single one of these with his vlogs haha
The real Dressel showed up again in Gwangju and Andrew couldn’t even kind of keep up
Schooling was pissed
@@alexstark9071 lol good one
I know but no hate to Andrew
@@krishmathur5566 ye andrew is a good guy. wish them both the best of luck!
Agreed but i honestly support both Caleb and Andrew
Caleb Dressel: I will get revenge!
1 year later, that feels about right :D
Xd
We need Caeleb to start vloging
Heck yes!
HELL YEA!
@@carson5066 he doesn't vlog but he has a channel and does podcasts and dry land routines.
@@dylancolon9756 he didn't when I commented
@@carson5066 yeah I know, just letting you know if you didn't 😊👌
If you look at all these great swimmers, it makes me feel Michael Phelps is a true legend. He barely ever loses in every event he swims in.
Well, it's different than what sprinters do but okay.
Phelps was pro at 15, never really went through that transition which is probably a good reason why Caeleb struggled
@@drewelric118 Andrew went pro at 14 I believe.
He’s so good that every time he doesn’t win gold it’s a loss
@@instnxct Very true.
Great to see how two swimmers and competitors are pushing each other to their limits. Very entertaining compared to just one person on top. Always good to see a good rivalry
Caeleb finna smash this andrew kid
Yeah another epic wideo 💪 I love off the blocks series !
Hard work paid off for this dude. WR smashed 🤙
You should make a video like this about dealing with injuries, mentally and physically
God loves you guys!!!
Dressel is real nice. He deserves everything he has earned and will earn.
Off the blocks is so good
Ok but is Cody Miller not literally the coolest human on earth?
He’s the best xD honestly one of my role models for swimming
@@emma.faith.g8521 same!
So true haha
No
@@emma.faith.g8521 true thoo
I have been inspired by Caeleb for all the time I have been swimming. He shows that through hard times it's possible to power through and achieve great things.
The quality of this video is amazing can’t wait for the next one
Caeleb Dressel is polite humble and a great athlete
Incredible series, kudos to whoever is responsible for this.
I was waiting for this video from January and I just want to say that I love you caeleb
This is one of the best series on TH-cam!!
If you’re interested at all in watching my New series “No Excuses.” about training for Olympic trials here’s a link! th-cam.com/video/nFxp_wYEWh8/w-d-xo.html
6:05 I like how caeleb said just it’s a lie just run
Great episode!
the best Caeleb Dressel 💪
Back then there was some sort of comparison between Dressel and Micheal Andrew but now Dressel is light years ahead
ughh their box jumps look so smooth
YES!!!! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
Guys nice job,I swim for a USA team,I really enjoy your videos and your videos force me to train even harder.
Checking in after Caeleb finished his Olympics 2020 😎
Caeleb NEEDS to be on my podcast! He’d be a great guest
Swimming Podcast Yes!!!!! You have the best swimming podcasts EVER! The podcast with Amy Van Dyken was absolutely incredible
Michael Scott Thank you so much for your kind words! Appreciate the support
4 months later he broke the 100 butterfly world record and then he broke the 50 freestyle record
I hope he gets his own TH-cam channel so he can start doing vlogs he’s incredible swimmer and person I’ll see him again in 2020 hopefully be able to do a swim with him this year I didn’t do it because I didn’t like the sport of swimming but I ended out on a great note and I’m gonna have a fresh start in the fall and new coaches I’m excited.
Heck Yeah! Dressel!
Well I guess Caeleb and me have something in common,we both don't float😂
YEAH I LOVE THIS SERIES
Anthony Nesty is a LEGEND ... name another swimmer who got their face on the money in their home country ...
2:52 Dying of laughter. It’s that shark I tell you...
Eusebiu Vlad bro nice spot! I had to rewind to find the shark lol... reminds me of baby shark remix
just looks in the background why is there a shark?
Lol great vid but they made Michael Andrew the antagonist.
The fear of losing is always greater than winning.
yesssssssssssssssssss love this series
God Bless you Caeleb !
awesomeeeeeee very good job
One word and one word only
🐐
Ya it's Dressel from me. Keep the episodes coming though.
Keep up this series...PLEASE
Oof I clicked so fast
My hero
Just saying that pushing off without a wall has significantly helped me with my underwater. If anyone else is like me and isn't great at underwater give it a go. It really helps
This was cool
Cody’s a fav
Who's here after he dominated in fina
Me me me,!

2:50 left shark I see you
NOW WE NEED KATIE LEDECKY BOII 🙇🙇🙇
THAT VIDIO BEAUTIFULL. ILOVEIT
Amazing
What do you guys think about Michael Andrew's chances this summer at world championships?
I think his best chance for gold is in the 50m butterfly. Let's face that he won't win (or even final) in any 100. Ben Proud will smoke him in the 50 free if Caeleb won't, it will take a world record to beat koleshnikov in the 50 back this summer and the only person that could've possibly challenged Peaty in the 50 breast is Cameron van der Burgh. I don't necessarily think Michael will win it, but the other 50s are just not up for grabs.
Ward Huyskes I can tell you, he won’t be anywhere near the Olympic team. That’s for sure. Unless 100 IM becomes an event.
Guys think Andrew will be on the 4x100 free in 2019 or 2020? That should be an interesting.. I think he could also push for the breast in the medley. Also will be interesting to see if the Fosters could shake things up come 2020
Aakos94 Even though the fosters are young, I think that they have a shot to make it, specifically Carson in either the 200 or 400 IM. Both of those are pretty open right now.
@@andrewmaier863 Well, Chase K, Abram Devine, and Jay Litherland are all still very fast.
I don’t think Andrew will get into the relays (maybe in the heats), I think the free relay from SC worlds is pretty strong. Wilson will also be hard to beat for Andrew in the Breaststroke for the Medley Relay
400 free relay
Favorites
Dressel
Held
Pieroni
Apple
Also
Tate Jackson
Chadwick
Adrian? (would have to return)
Andrew? (NOT a 100 freestyler)
The medley relay breast spot will be an interesting choice.
Wilson
Miller if he bounces back
Cordes
Andrew
@@marlingod And also Ian Finnerty if he figures out how to swim long course before 2020.
I met him last week
That was my team pool I was in the rowdy crowd behind the side with the score board thingy lol
It bothers me that Caleb’s hoodies strings were so uneven
Love the chicken
I want that beanie someone could tell me where can i find it. ?
Nice video
pause excatly at 8:15. Caeleb looks niceeeeee
Someone please tell me the name of the intro song
Can somebody tell me what is the name of this song!?!?
The next big thing
who is here after Maxime Rooney was on fire at the ISL
Alright who you got next time Andrew or Caleb
The real question is if Caeleb still has the chicken
Yeah, ask that to his 5 gold Olympic medals lmao
He must have dem fast twitch muscle fibres.
Nice.
Andrew is all speed and no endurance. Missed out on medals in the Olympics because he couldn't close out races and faided in the end. Guy needs to sit down with his dad/coach and rethink their training strategies
Finally
i've watched this multiple times and I just noticed that ya he had a bad summer but still it's only 50s those aren't int the olympics he should focused on his best events [100 free and 100 fly]
does anyone know the song that plays at the beginning of these?
Does anybody know the song at 2:57 ?
I know i'm no Caeleb Dressel, but I am a national champion training for Olympic trails! If you want to follow my training closely here's a link to my new TH-cam series of just that! th-cam.com/video/xwT_xZX5UPE/w-d-xo.html
What is your relation to Cody Miller, the breaststroker ?
Lex Soft I don’t think there is any relation other than the fact we have the same last name first initial for first name and we both swim the 100 breast haha. I think it’s just a coincidence...
@@collinmiller8866 Thanks for reply.
Btw USA just lost to GBR in 4x100m medley relay. Duncan Scott turned to become Jason Lezak version 2, caught Nathan Adrian to touch the wall first with stunning split : 46.14. It is the 2nd fastest of all time after Lezak's 46.06 in 2008 Olympic.
What do you think ? Who is to blame ? Imo, Ryan Murphy. He swam 52.92, while theoretically 52.50 would have been enough. Besides, why not putting Blake Pieroni instead of Nathan Adrian ?
Lex Soft thanks for the update! I haven’t watched it quite yet. You know I don’t think there is anyone to blame, sometimes it happens. If anything this is good because no one on that relay likes to get beat, so for the Olympics they are going to have that extra motivation to kick butt haha.
Who’s here after he beat Phelps record?
1:21
that's literally dhar mann speaking
i don’t get why people are dissing michael andrews. there is no reason
Watching this after he broke the OR in 2021
Hi
Cody and Andrew both have Channels
all the dislikes are michael andrew fans
there is six of them haha
Can anyone tell me what is he using in 4:55? And what is the purpose? Pleaseee
Band around the feet for a pull set? I think it is just to make sure you dont kick
Oh myy
The beanie link please
What were the songs?
Like how micheal later got clapped by dressel at gwangju
Who else is here after he is engaged
Cool content, impressive! Really inspiring! (Christina, THEMAGIC5)
Michael they dont swim those 50's at the Olympics, join the big boys and ditch the 50's
@Master Pole his breaststroke is good. But peaty will dominate the breaststroke for as long as he swims
Andrew Creek They are adding the 50s to the Olympics.
Reilly Ploplis Not for 2020
But im Paris it will
Diego Vertiz Padilla really?
LavaRealm It was a rumor
If they added the mixed relays, why not adding 3 more fifties?
Please track 7m45
Swimming is tough not that easy
the guy trains and lifts wearing soccer shoes ???
Does anyone think Dressel will race the 200 IM in Tokyo?
Aakos94 If he wants to chase 8, he has to pick up a 4th individual event, and that’s under the assumption that he’ll swim the 4x200. I see very little way that he doesn’t take on the 200IM, that SCY time at SECs blew me away.
@@thebossness1440 Yeahh ever since that 200 IM at SECs I've thought he might have a shot. Even the breast may have been on the table if it weren't for Peaty.
Aakos94 I’d have to disagree on the breast one, just because SCY breast in my experience tends to convert much more heavily on walls, than any other SCY-to-LCM event.
If you look at Dressel’s splits from his 49 at NCAAs post surfacing, it’s pretty evident he’s slower than virtually everyone else in the field. Even the current record holder in the SCY version, Ian Finnerty, is primarily known for his sprint free and seems to have cruised to victory via pullouts rather than a high velocity, flexible stroke.
I honestly doubt without spending an unproductively long time on efficiency things, he’d be able to even crack a minute, or the Olympic final in the 100 breast LCM. Even thats only if (in this hypothetical scenario) he beats out Kevin Cordes, Miller, Finnerty, Wilson, Licon, and Shebat at trials. It just seems more unlikely than you likely think.
@@thebossness1440 True, long course breast stroke is a whole different game. But hopefully some people step up for team USA in that event and the rest should be covered. That medley relay in 2020 is gonna be quite the race with GB
@@thebossness1440 I heard Dressel was big into breaststroke and the 200 I.M. in high school but when he came to Florida Troy trained him in sprint, so we'll have to see what he can manage.
