Less than a month ago, Katie Ledecky was smashing her own world records with ease in the swimming pool, capturing four gold medals along with one silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.
On Saturday afternoon Ledecky – a lifelong Redskins fan – spoke to the team at the Inova Sports Performance Center at Redskins Park in Loudoun County, Va., providing a message for the players before they embark on the regular season.
“I think swimming and football have a little bit of the same drive that’s needed, and you do a lot of things over and over in practice, both in the pool and on the field in football,” Ledecky told Redskins.
