Regan Smith once again showed out at the Pro Swim Series, taking wins in the 200 fly and 200 back while also going PBs in the 50 fly and 50 free. After taking an extensive break on the back of the Paris Olympics, Smith is now building back up her aerobic base, meaning long sessions in the pool with her fellow Texas pros.
Swimming alongside the likes of Jillian Cox, Kate Hurst, Simone Manuel, and Lindsay Looney, Smith admits she’s been getting humbled by the 8k Monday sessions but enjoying it all the same.
Has DeSorbo had much success with male swimmers?
all this coaching yet still no best time in 200 back- please do it this summer regan
Bob best get his wand out, same one that made his illicit text fiasco disappear
What text fiasco?
I imagine he is referring to a drunk Bob texting a US swimmer that he wanted her brother. Later he claimed it was in reference to swimming. This was all in the Sean Hutchinson fall out
What do we think are the common threads between what desorbo is doing vs what Bob is doing? On the surface, seems much different but they are both getting incredible results.
One smashes his super talents with volume + intensity so succeeds in endurance events, where the other smashes them with intensity and gym so succeeds in shorter.
No science with Americans, just smash ‘em!
Can we infer in general that women do better being smashed with gym/intensity than men?
Not sure, but why not test the theory ‘murica style and smash ‘em harder or make sets bigger and better!
Envy is shit!
Except when facing the Aussies at the Sydney Olympics in 2000…the proverbial guitars reference.
Olympic Swimming medal scoreboard…
Desorbo is really quantitative probably more than bowman but the results speak for themselves as both are great coaches
Messi and Ronaldo had multiple ‘coaches’, still scored goals
All of their swimmers are happy. Whether it be Regan at these meets or a UVA woman at NCAAs, these swimmers are always abundant with smiles. It’s one thing to get world class training, but if your mental game isn’t there, it’s for nothing. Both coaches have done a good job it seems balances the physical training with the great team atmosphere.
Not disagreeing. But for every happy genetic specimen who can withstand overtraining, there are couple thousand sad individuals, who did not.
