Dean Boxall was a wee bit excited about Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus winning the gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle race in Tokyo this week. It was a celebration for the ages.
Boxall is Ariarne’s coach, but you would have thought he was the one who swam to victory. The coach could not contain his excitement in the aftermath of Titmus’ 400m freestyle final win. He jumps in the air, pumps his fists, screams, and scares at least one Olympic staff member nearby.
You have to appreciate Boxall’s unbridled joy for his athlete’s success. We should all have someone like this in our corner.
Dean Boxall was pumped for Ariarne Titmus. Really, really pumped.
