I began working with Fran during 2007 – 2008.  In my opinion, he was the perfect athlete: hard working, never complained, always followed ‘the rules’ to a tee.   Fran was always interested in how to better himself in the water by consuming the best foods available.  We used a few methods to develop a plan suitable for his training needs, which included: a food rotation diet to discover any intolerance’s to foods, FDA-approved metabolic assessment, source of calories versus amount of calories, etc…

When I received the news of Fran’s passing, I simply could not believe Fran would have died in the manner initially expressed by the United Arab Emirates Swimming Federation.  Time will soon tell the true nature of all circumstances surrounding the event.

Rest in Peace
