t-and-f: half-joking thought about Webb's coach.

2001-05-30 Thread DHSTFCOACH

 Does anyone know anything about Webb's coach?  Where did he run, how 
good was he, has he gotten lucky the past few years or has he produced good 
runners other from other years?  Obviously South Lakes is a very good HS 
program is they have another kid that can do 3:00 for 1200m.  That poor kid 
is a good runner in his own right and no one even knows his name.  
 I thought he was a young coach.  Is he the next Pat Tyson or Joe 
Newtown?

 I think a lot of times what turns a great high school runner into an 
 afterthought is the change in coach in college. If I was a college coach and 
 Webb was coming to me I'd be asking Webb's high school coach for a little 
 help now and then, just so I don't screw things up. Find out what Webb has 
 been doing and keep doing it. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

Marty,

Just because you ran fast doesn't mean you can coach.  Heck, I have no
idea if guys like Vigil or Larsen or Warhurst or Newton ran a
competitive step in their lives.  All I know is that they can coach
better than most.  My $.02 is that being a student of the sport and a
good motivator are far more important factors in being a quality coach
than being able to string together 400's faster than your competitor...
