Malmo Not so much nonsense. They could pass blindfolded and asleep. Its the non-Bowerman/Jumbos that I worry about. Those coaches schooled on Runners World & T&FN (sorry, nothing personal) are the problem. They have a basic knowledge, but little else, and often do more damage to the athletes and the sport. Coaching 101, which is all that is required, does nothing to tell someone how to deal with a TJer having problems on the 2nd phase of the jump. Experience AND education solve that problem. Coaching Ed standardizes the curriculum for them.
Its not the end-all solution, but better than the Teachers Unions offers as of now. This is more directed to the HS sector than NCAA, but it applies to them too. MJR
