On Deck with Diving Coach Yahya Radman
"What a great competition for the Badgers this week. Once we got past some technical difficulties and issues with the facility, our Badgers showed some real resilience. The women did their job and came to learn and have set themselves up for a fantastic future. I'm a firm believer of you don't know what you don't know until you know it and that is what we needed to learn at this meet to prepare ourselves for the future of this program."
