Coaching at the high school level

Coach, I like your article and candid comments on coaching at the college level. My experience has been that if you drill down on why someone wants to coach at the college level, sometimes the answer is not sound. Some guys just don't have an accurate picture of what it really looks like (beyond the pay.) An example of that is the "salesman" that many college coaches must be that is part of their job. I have talked with young prospective college coaches want to mold men and make a difference in… Continue

Alabama LSU Game

Just wanted to give my opinion on the whole issue with the Alabama/LSU game Saturday and what I have heard over and over since then. About that reviewed (non interception) play. The guys foot was clearly on the line and the interception was not made. Replay is great but why do we have to listen to all the people complain when the video evidence is obvious. Even if he had of gotten the interception that would not have won the game the for them. If the guy was clearly in bounds I would have sad wo… Continue

The Misconceptions of Running

Note: This is a re-posting of my latest blog post on 1MileNation.com, in response to seeing an article on how some marathons are looking at cut-off times in races, to help reduce time constraints and public safety needs for those races.
