Every successful HS coach needs a strong right hand man that will be loyal to him & never undermine him. If you look at some of the best programs, they have loyal, smart Number 2 guys. WHO DONT WANT TO BETRAY THE HC. Too many assistant coaches with personal agendas
@Fred__Duncan Today philosophy and analysis are making running/ sprinting complex. I agree most of new aspects but jeez it just running ๐๐พโโ๏ธ.
@TexasTrackDad@I_Coach_Speed Yesterday MD indoor state meet, I saw twin sisters win thier team title by scoring 60 points ( yes they were literally only two solo runners with individual events) . This was in 2A region that has legit teams.. Some people are "bigger than the program."
I love the discussion.
@Tier1athlete@coachmorton83 This all facts. Was the athletes all ready talented, developed, and poised. I want a coach to show me how they got 12.0 kid in 100m to thier senior year =10.5 lol. They never show the failures in thier philosophy/ theories ๐
@CoachDJBrock I been saying this for years. If your star athlete on the team focus on yourself because coaches will " burn you out" just for the other 3 less talented legs ..
@Tier1athlete@Ramichie82 I been saying for years. I like wickets but changes the runner naturally frequency and make running robotic. Increase natural ground contact and strengthen in hips, quads, lower back apply force from top/down
@CoachDJBrock Or play different sport in the fall. I noticed kids that focus only on track in HS tend be slower because running/ training needs breaks or adaptations. Running is not difficult but we make it so hard nowadays..
@TrkGuy402@Ramichie82 I agree. We make sprinting/ running track so hard to understand. Focus on naturally explosiveness and great technique and your times will drop gradually. Overspeed will make a athlete think thier running that fast but in reality in actual race will still use same mechanics.
@Ramichie82 Thank you.. I see a lot of overspeed training videos and the kids still running slow ๐. Every kid doesn't need that to achieve thier speed goals. Internet coaching at all time high..
