Steve Scott Inspires a Fan!
Fans appreciates Jeff Benjamin's writing,
all in one note!

"A note for you😊 Steve Scott inspired me, an ex-smoker and overweight guy who could barely finish a 5K walk without puking. Seeing him excel and meeting him once at the Ontario (California) airport motivated me more than he might imagine. I was never a competitive runner, but grew to appreciate the beauty of running and had the good fortune to attend the Mt. San Antonio Relays in Southern California several times. I carry with me Steve’s American record time, even though Alan Web set a new one many years later. Thank you Jeff for your journalistic talent and coverage of many of the people, including Steve, who were my inspiration to keep putting one foot in front of the other for many years."

Seb Coe IOC Countdown # 4!

Jim Spivey

“Seb is in this to win.  Sounds too simple, doesn’t it?
And then if he wins, he is in it for everyone to win.  

Like after that workout in 1988 he said to me as I was so tired “Do you get it Jim?  It’s all about the minutes of activity.  Not running fast.  Keeping the pulse above 140 for over an hour.  Do you get it?”   

In 1988 he was getting better in preparation for the Olympic Games (which neither of us qualified for ) but he wanted everyone there among us to get better and believe in the process.  It’s funny enough- he ran 1:43 for the 800 the same day I ran 3:31.01 for the 1500 in Koblenz West Germany on August 31 when both of us knew we would not be competing in Seoul.  I bet his time was in the top 5 that year(?) and my time was 2nd fastest only to Steve Cram.

Seb was all about the buy-in and having everyone be on the same page which are qualities any effective leader must have!”

Coe IOC Countdown #1!

“I remember in my youth at school seeing two classmates coming in with cross-country medals and I was fascinated by that…I wanted to follow that path.”

Coe IOC Countdown # 2!

“In 1976 when I won the AAA 1500, Seb Coe was quite young but he looked like a future star & I warned others that one day he might go all-out in a race and NOT come back! Now Seb Is Once Again Going All-Out To Become The President Of The IOC And I Believe He’s More Than Qualified To Lead The Worldwide Olympic Movement Forward!”

Seb Coe IOC Countdown # 3!
Bill Rodgers!

“I believe Seb Coe is the best leader Athletics has ever had & if I could cast a vote I would certainly vote for him. He’s someone who will bring Olympic Sport into ever-greater prominence with more visibility for all the hard-working athletes from the 200 countries of the world!
Hope you get it Seb!”

#jeffbenjaminrun Seb Coe IOC Countdown # 7!!
From One Olympic Champion To Another!

“I cannot think of a better person to lead the IOC as President than Seb
Coe. He is a proven winner and a man of action. Besides his world-class
performances as a multiple Olympic gold medalist and the holder of
multiple middle distance world records, he has proven himself a strong
leader as President of World Athletics and was instrumental in
orchestrating the very successful London Olympic Games as chairman of
the organizing committee. I firmly believe he will work tirelessly to protect
women in sports, crack down on the misuse of drugs in sport and always
have the best interest of athletes in mind when making decisions. And no
one can doubt his work ethic, from his days as an accomplished athlete to
his political career to his leadership as a sports administrator. As an
instrument of change and a man who is passionate about sport, I believe
Seb will explore new, creative ways to enhance the IOC mission.”
