@RunCoachTripp 100%. We had a kid come down with the flu at state. Our alternate stepped up big time and got our 400m and 800m relays to finals. He got a 7th place medal and put us in a position for the 400m relay to get 4th when the original runner came back.

@coachjayjohnson It's our ranking system to get to state. It forces kids to keep improving in order to get to the state meet.

@coachjayjohnson Best thing that ever happened to me was to be the head track coach at a small school with no other coaches my 1st year of teaching. Made me learn all the events at age 23. I’ve never been an assistant coach.

@CoachJTAyers Thank you!!

[University Track & Field/Cross Country @uhstrack]

@KevinRomeis @NFL_DovKleiman Exact opposite. Low dose, high intensity. His speed/strength coach is one of the best in the business. https://t.co/Mt2qau7w8D

Never forget when these idiots came out with no shirt on in 20 degree temps to show “toughness,” & got beat by 25

Some coaches promote some dumb eyewash

@pntrack Survival of the fittest not the fastest…or healthiest.

@CoachJTAyers Tony Wells would say any strong windy day is an overspeed day.

If a coach is telling you to sport specialize they do not have your best interests in mind. You will never convince me otherwise…There is a ton of development that comes with being a multiple sport athlete that translates to the other sports you do!

@SandyofCthulhu I just started reading his memoir. It is free on Apple Books. It's really good.

@CoachDistance When I started coaching in 94 nobody ran over 30 mpw. Most of it was easy running too. I found a lot of success with Knudson’s speed based training. Now it’s mileage plus speed. The best of both worlds.

@LeBronJacob5 @HurrdatSports I’m not saying you are just a parent coaching club. I didn’t mean that to sound bad.

[University Track & Field/Cross Country @uhstrack]

@LeBronJacob5 @HurrdatSports Yeah, they aren’t doing much. I’d trust the coach. They are D1 and not just a parent coaching a club team. I’m sure they have their plyos programmed correctly.

[University Track & Field/Cross Country @uhstrack]

@pntrack That right there is why you are a great teacher and coach. It’s all about the kids.
