Jack's secret is a relaxed outlook on life. He works hard but never gets frustrated or upset. He is cool and collected under pressure. Jack likes to take things with a grain of salt and then internalize what he is learning and apply that to his diving.
Jack always has an upbeat and positive attitude. He and his coach get along great because they were similar divers and they see eye to eye on many subjects.
Jack is currently learning new tower dives and more difficult spring board dives.
