Todd DeSorbo Focused on Creating ‘Great Environment’ for U.S. Olympic Team to ‘Thrive’. At the University of Virginia, there is no countdown clock mounted on pool deck to remind swimmers how soon are the Olympic Trials or Olympic Games. Head coach Todd DeSorbo typically reminds his team once a week, in an email sent each Sunday containing the upcoming practice schedule, how far out they are from international meets, selection meets and collegiate championships, but otherwise, stick to the day-to-day training routine and listen to the coaches.
