I was surprised at the daily feedback and suggested workouts that were given to a family friend. It sounds like his coach exchanges email daily to the whole team.

Given training plan
Thats what their paid for! All college coaches should communicate with their athletes on breaks etc. I have seen the opposite to frequently.
I was given what workouts to do on which days. Emaild coach after each workout, but not after easy days or long runs.
He usually just said "good workout" or something, and might mention something about the next workout, like "that was a tough one, so you might be a bit more tired for the tempo on Thursday. Aim for the slower range of the pace range I gave you"
98% of our team did the assigned workouts to the best of their ability. The one guy who slacked off was appropriately chastised.
You can drive a horse to water but you can't make him drink it.
Most athletes will not train during Christmas break. Therefore, coaches make their athletes come back to school on the 26th, or 27th. Especially the high volume programs.
Most athletes do not want to go outside if the weather is is lousy.

I find it hard to believe that most college runner needs a coach to motivate him to run during Christmas break. Do you believe Salazar or Pre needed a call from Dellinger to motivate them to run in bad weather?
