The legend of Dick Caine started more than 40 years ago and is still gaining momentum, not winding down as you might have guessed. Today the Dick Caine Team has grown and continues to expand into fields of human performance that extend beyond the world of sport, where he is best known.
Motivator, confessor, coach, trainer, tutor, mentor, friend, these are just some of the words people have used to describe Dick Caine. Taking that one step further, over 20 World Champions, dozens of Olympians, too many National Champions to remember are actually the people who use words like Friend to describe Dick Caine.
Dick Caine has been recognized by John Howard, the Australian Prime Minister (see image below), several Civic Councils, a number of Board of Directors, and literally tens of thousands of individual boys and girls who are now mum’s and dad’s, with a second generation of people learning how to swim or stay fit.
Dick Caine might be linked to swimming but swimming is just one of a great number of sports where Dick Caine has excelled. Sports like Boxing, Bodybuilding, Triathlon, Rugby League, Harness Racing, Cricket, Aerobics, Squash, Tennis, Water Polo, Track and Field Stars.
Dick Caine is not just a local Australian celebrity, he is larger than life in America and Great Britain where he is continually in demand to give opinions on how to improve an elite athlete’s performance, if they happen to be in a slump. This is not a bad effort for a child from a family of 11 children, who never finished school and was quite a handful as a lad.
Dick Caine is as close as you can come to an Australian version of Tom Sawyer, he is the true Aussie battler come good, by sheer guts and determination. It’s this fighting spirit that he instills in his athletes that motivates them to perform at their best. The technical aspects of his skills come from the more than 40 years of watching and learning and experimenting and listening to the athletes that have passed through his hands.
At sixty years of age you would expect Dick Caine to take a well earned rest, but that can wait till he’s eighty, says Dick. I haven’t helped everybody that I can yet, and to tell you the truth, I get just as big a kick out of seeing a toddler complete their first ever lap of the pool as I do from training an Olympic Gold medalist.
You either love what you do or you have a job, I have never had a job, because from the day I walked into the pool in 1965, I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
