Scott Simmons in Kenya recruiting runners

He's curing world hunger in Africa.

Not.

My guess is he's there in advance of the world cross country championships in Uganda later this month.

Setting up another tap room since his legal problems in the USA.

If you talk to Scott for 5 minutes you can see exactly what you are dealing with. The intellectual equivalancey of a 13 year old.

1) you spelled "equivalency" wrong

2) for people and tangible objects, you say "equivalent." Equivalency us only used for intangibles. For example: "high school equivalency exam" versus "this drug is equivalent to the name brand."

3) This sentence is too wordy anyway, it would be better to write "he has the intellect of a 13 year old."

I've never met Scott Simmons, but if he has the intellect if a 13 year old, I would imagine the two of you should get along just fine.

Went full in on the correction and then made an error during the 'your an idiot' coup de grace.

That's an automatic lock-in.

Also, his "less wordy" suggestion has more words than the original.

Ever speak to Simmons? He is very lucky stupidity is not a crime.

I'm thinking his online degree didn't help much.

He was smart enough to get Dan Browne fired from coaching the wcap distance runners.

Please do not confuse manipulative with intelligence.

Insert period after "anyway," and begin a new sentence.

You are so stupid, why would Scott go to Kenya to recruit? My guess is that he is in Kenya with his US cross-country team for a short adaptation.

He doesn't sound stupid at all in this interview. My one objection is that he is saying directly that he is about developing American athletes to be the best in the world, but he seems to be doing that only for Kenyan runners who are becoming or have just become American citizens. You can't argue with the results but calling it the "American Distance Project" is quite the stretch. I don't know whether there are any unsuccessful coaches of Kenyan distance runners.

Give it a rest dude.

Would you happen to know anything about strawberries?

I wonder how Simmons can afford to go to Africa (flight, hotel, food and beer)?

Is it the American Distnce Project non-profit status or Army WCAP paying his travel bill?

If it is the Army, then basically we as tax payers are footing his bill. Why the hell?!

Simmons is manipulative enough to swing just such a deal.

Who do I talk to at the US Army to get his gig?!

And isn't Army payroll public information?

but that's a great interview.

The guy obviously knows what he's doing.

A runner from ADP was telling me that coach Scott Simmons is traveling to Kenya to meet with more Kenyan runners. Recruiting or conspiring with Canova?

Take your pick.

Is Renato Canova in Kenya?

Maybe Simmons is meeting with him for some coaching tips!

lmao he thinks hes some genius because he "trains speed year-round" when all they do is extra strides after workouts

Someone that visits LR really really hates Scott Simmons.

You're like stalkerish with the hate. Do he bang your mom or gf or something?

He is a human trafficker.

Shipping all those Kenyans to the US, disgusting.
