Chris DeSantis PodCast

Mako Co-Founder and Malaysia Head Coach Eric Anderson sits down with Chris DeSantis about coaching, life’s opportunity and tools for high performance.

Eric Anderson joins Chris DeSantis in this deep-dive conversation tracing his coaching journey from Canada to Denmark and now Malaysia. They explore how adapting to different cultures and systems has shaped his coaching philosophy, the strategies he uses to develop swimmers with diverse backgrounds, and the lessons he’s learned about leadership and growth in global environments. The episode offers real-world insight into what it takes to coach at an international level — navigating change, building trust, and staying performance-driven across borders.

This is why coaches repeatedly tell us:

“Mako feels like it was built by
someone who has actually coached on deck.”

Because it was.
