While she was only 8 years old when she chose her Instagram handle @alexandrathebeast, it’s clear now how a young Alex Shackell foresaw a bright future. In this episode, teenage Olympian Alex Shackell tells us what it’s like to return home to high school as an Olympic Gold Medalist.
Already a relay member of the World Championship team last year, Alex Shackell shared with us how her training changed over the last year that led to her earning an individual Olympic spot on Team USA in the 200 fly, and how that training and swimming at Trials in front of a hometown crowd gave her the confidence to be super relaxed and laughing with Regan Smith in the ready room before the final.
Alex Shackell also shares what it was like to share her first Olympic Games experience with her brother Aaron on the team in Paris, but she also tells us how she holds Aaron accountable in practice and is not afraid to show some tough love to anyone who needs to be kept in line, including family.
