There's no way someone who qualified for Oly Trials in 200m also runs a 14:515k. Also the 35:42 10k is very soft compared to those other times. It's probably some different clients, perhaps a female client who ran the 35 10k.
Oh yes, and GO COUGS!!
No, his list of "client accomplishments" is much longer - covering 22 different sports! Looks like plain and simple BS
You may be right. Or it may just be very sloppy site construction. He also has the same story about his Downs syndrome class in 3 seperate side buttons (his philosophy, his so called blog--of only one entry yep the story--, and the link to thoughts from Andy). So talking in 2 places about his clients accomplishments is also possibly planned redundancy, possibly to hammer the point home?
He says "growing list of accomplishments", and on the same page he's been doing it for 27 plus years. That sounds like it's his clients. Also can he really think anyone is so stupid to believe that HE has accomplished all those things HIMSELF in multiple sports at multiple schools and professional leagues? I've seen delusional people but that would take the cake in delusional.
The site doesn't exactly give me confidence. I certainly wouldn't pay 1900/mo to have my kids work with him. The pictures from outdoors look like stock photos with vegetation nothing like Eastside Seattle (palm trees, barren mountains...seriously?). So yes, it does smell fishy, I just hate to conclusively say someone is a liar without knowing for sure. So, I am emailing him and directing him to this thread. Let's see what happens.
