Mentors, teammates, and now the athletes Mike Norment leads have shaped his journey and his approach as Notre Dame’s Peterson Family Head Swimming and Diving Coach. His focus: building a program defined by character, consistency, and care for the individual.
In this episode of For Good, Coach Norment shares his path into coaching, what defines a strong team culture, and the values that drive success.
At Notre Dame, those values come together through top-tier athletics, rigorous academics, and a faith that anchors it all.
Listen now to hear how he’s developing leaders for life, one student-athlete at a time.
New episodes of For Good: Stories from Notre Dame drop on select weekdays at giving.nd.edu/stories and the ND Loyal YouTube channel. You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
A sincere thank you to the Notre Dame family for making stories like these possible! It’s because of you that Notre Dame is such a powerful force for good in the world.
