Former U.S. National Team member and multiple All-American Jack Brown enters his second season as an assistant coach at Missouri.
Before becoming a full-time assistant, Brown served as a volunteer assistant coach for Mizzou over the last four years as the program evolved into a top-ranked national program. Most recently, Brown served with the Tigers at the 2016 NCAA Championships where both teams had program record finishes (men eighth and women 11th) and had their first individual NCAA and Southeastern Conference Swimming Champions.
During his time at Mizzou, Brown has primarily worked with the middle distance and IM groups, where he assisted with stroke technique, workout and season planning and race strategy. Brown now serves as coach of the Tiger’s distance program. He is also a doctoral candidate in Sport Psychology, and has served as the team’s sport psychology consultant for the past four years.
Prior to his new role with the Tigers, Brown also served as head group coach of the senior group for the Columbia Tiger Sharks. While in this role he had several athletes set Missouri Valley records and qualify for Olympic Trials, U.S. Nationals and Junior Nationals. Brown also has coaching experience with the University of Arizona and Tucson Ford Aquatics, where he was a volunteer coach for 2010 summer.
As a swimmer, Brown swam for the University of Arizona and was a six-ime All-American, team captain, first team Academic All-American, PAC-10 Championx` and a two time U.S. National Team Member. Brown focused on the 200 and 400 Individual Medleys, and at his best was ranked in the top 10 of both events in the world. He was an U.S. Olympic Trials finalist in the 400IM and a multiple time U.S. Open champion and meet record holder.
The Atlanta native grew up swimming for Swim Atlanta and attended The Westminster Schools where he was recently inducted into their athletic Hall of Fame.
