Two years on from his shock open heart surgery, Australian swimming coach John Rodgers is doing all he can to ensure his athletes secure a spot at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Rodgers underwent major open-heart surgery in 2019 and was in a coma for a further five days after hospital staff discovered a 10cm tear in his aorta.
Two years on heâs made a full recovery and said he always knew he would make his way back to coaching.
âEven when I was still in the hospital, I was sending programs and messages to my athletes to do everything I could to help them,â Rodgers said.
