“FOR WHAT IS RIGHT WITH YOU, UNTIL YOU CAN’T GET IT WRONG.”
United States National Swim Team member for 5 years and a Masters swimmer with 26 world records, Jerry Frentsos decided long ago that the best way to invest in his future was to live…
Intentionally Well while remaining forever Athletically Driven.
Those choices have allowed him to swim competitively on a world-class level over the past five decades. In his books, Jerry presents the science and facts on how Nature and Nurture support proper training, recovery, hydration, nutrition, and sleep, which together foster a balanced relationship with your body, mind, soul, and spirit, maximizing the performance and economy of your health to become more human.

A SPIRIT OF COMPETITION
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Jerry swam competitively along with his five brothers. He gained national attention as a young athlete, achieving gold All-American status ranked as the #1 high school swimmer in the U.S. From 1984-1988, he consistently ranked as one of the top 15 world-ranked swimmers, reaching the highest ranking of third in the world. In 1986, Jerry earned the title, "U.S. Open National Champion," and in 1987, he captured a gold medal at the Pan American Games.
In 1988, while qualifying to represent Greece as an Olympian, not being known for taking the easy way or chasing short-cuts, he passed that opportunity for a shot at his real dream of becoming a United States Olympian. He placed third at the United States Olympic Team trials, qualifying him to become the first alternate for the U.S. Olympic Team. While missing the team by only 18 hundredths of a second, he proudly watched the 1988 Olympics knowing his trajectory of previous performances would have finished in the top 5 at the Seoul, Korea Olympic Games.
While it may have felt like a setback during that moment, it only fueled his passion for physical and mental performance.
“A novel approach to living well with a blend of vignettes and real science.”
“Real science and storytelling at its best. Self care that starts with the heart.”
“Loved the connections and enjoyed the science. Every doctor should read these books.”
