I’ve got a sleeper that’s about to put some great marks down soon. Home schooled so we are working privately. 100/200/LJ.

Thought becoming a D1 coach meant I had to change how I coached from my JUCO days…

Nah.

Hard nose coaching. Discipline. Respect for the game. Respect for the school.

Details matter. Results matter. Building better people matters.

I just gotta be me.

@CoachMacPV @MikeCunningham I despise a blind 4x2 indoors. Especially for HS kids. Elite, maybe. But nah. 4x4 me please

[Coach Kyle Marc Jones @TrackCoachJones]

My favorite thing about coaching track isn't the performances and results, it's the moment when the kids start believing they can do anything.

That's the part I love the most.

1) Agent (a) calls “Gun”.

2) Agent (b) unholsters his weapon.

3) Agent (a) disarms suspects weapon, which was in its holster.

4) Agent (a) accidentally discharges confiscated handgun.

5) Agent (b) shoots suspect in back

Coach Clyde Hart has died at 91 after a legendary coaching career at @BaylorTrack. Coach Hart transformed the sport by coaching Olympic champions such as @MJGold, @SanyaRichiRoss and @Jwariner. 🙏

He guided his teams to 20 NCAA titles in the 4x400m relay and coached 34 individual NCAA champions.

He also coached nine Olympians who earned 13 gold medals and built Baylor’s track and field program into what became known as ‘Quarter-Miler U’.

The news of his passing was first reported by @BriceCherry of the @wacotrib.

Let me help some folks out

HS T&F seniors and juniors

Follow these steps to help you find the school that fits you best (not one size fits all)

1. Go to https://t.co/Nw66CzC1Wc and click on outdoor lists

2. Select a conference and pick the gender that applies to you. Click on that list

3. Find an athlete in your events and click on one that has either their confrence or ncaa result listed

4. Click on the conference or ncaa results and look at the results of the final and the qualifying round

5. Here’s a pivot moment for you:
Compare and contrast your performances to the results of the postseason meet.
A. If you are nowhere close to making a final, scoring or winning, the best bet is to go back to the outdoor list screen and keep clicking until you find at least a conference you can make a final in OR you can try to contact the coach and see if the reply.

B. If you can make the final or at least close, shoot your shot.

6. If you fall under option 5A, keep repeating 1-5 in each division to find a program that values the production you can bring. If/when you fall under option 5B, contact the coaches at any of those schools with grades, test scores, milesplit/athletic.net profile, and videos that clearly show what lane you are in and the meet result.

7. Ask good questions of the coaches: what is the value of my event area to the success of the team in the postseason, do they have the major you are looking for, etc.

Make sure you Never Misrepresent an offer or your recruiting status at other schools (coaches talk and know each other)

Let a Coach/Parent/etc do ALL the talking and asking questions. College coaches will be coaching YOU, not your parents or Hs/Club coaches. College coaches want to get to know you, not negotiate with “agents” We want your people involved but they can’t be the sole voice heard.

Mess around sending information a coach requests like transcripts and ncaa id numbers. Communicate any delays in sending information. If you aren’t interested, communicate.

Take open and honest feedback personally. Coaches will miss out on people from time to time just like athletes miss out on great opportunities from time to time.

Move with desperation. Desperate people will do things outside of their character. Maintain your ethics

Again, this isn’t one size fits all but it may help.

@CoachPVaughan Wait, coaches are allowing that? ALL my jumpers /vaulters have to sprint.

[Coach_Jones80 @JustKJ_OK]

is #29 afraid to tackle? OR is hit tackling just THAT DAMN BAD?

[Coach_Jones80 @JustKJ_OK]

Both side of the line are getting manhandled tonight. The secondary is getting torched. And the QB...he's a little uncomfortable right now.

It's just game one. And w/ more than HALF the team being brand new, it's gonna take time.

But MAN... Scratch em or something. #GoHeels

[Coach_Jones80 @JustKJ_OK]

That o-line is gettin dog walked.

[Coach_Jones80 @JustKJ_OK]

[Coach_Jones80 @JustKJ_OK]

Hey @grok , who is the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.
