US Olympic Coach and Swim Parent Todd DeSorbo's Advice for Swimmers and Parents, EP 239
Description
What happens when an Olympic swimming coach dons the hat of a swimming parent? We had an enlightening conversation with Todd DeSorbo, a parent to his own son who swims--we caught Todd at his son's swim meet. Todd also happens to be the Olympic coach for the USA women's swimming team in 2024. We delved into how he strikes a balance between supporting his child in sport and letting his son's coaches do their job. Also what he recommends when a swimmer has a disappointing swim.
From our poolside chat, DeSorbo lays out his belief in the power of supportive swim parents and the critical role they play in fostering their child's talent. He gives us an insider's view into the world of swim parenting with some great advice to young swimmers as well. DeSorbo's words of wisdom are an eye-opener and helpful to both swimmers and parents. Tune in, you don't want to miss this!
