how many coaches succeed without some help from their athletes... Of course coach has to know something but .....
Some help, sure. Bet let’s be honest, the Youngs and Sahlmans were more than SOME help.
The biggest issue is the story line of how successful Brosnan was with the help of the Youngs and Sahlmans as opposed to how successful the kids at Newbury Park were, with the help of Brosnan. It has always been about him.
Can we get this thread back on topic? How is the book writing going and how is the pro group shaping up?
We got some serious sponsors or backers? Rudy Project stepping up? Maybe Spalding or McGregor looking to get back into the shoe market and sponsor some pros?
Kate Murphy still looking to be the charter member of the training group? Who else is signing?

Some other guys who improved because of Brosnan
Jace Aschbrenner
Nick Goldstein
Dev Doshi
Tom McDonnell (sophomore year to junior year)
Hector Martinez
Daniel Appleford
Kyndall Long
Arnav Shetty (freshman track to sophomore track)
Are we really listing high school boys who improved and somehow saying it was because of Brosnan’s coaching? You are aware that boys who are 17 are almost always (there are exceptions) better than their 14 year old selves, right?
The sun came up every day Brosnan coached at Newbury Park as well. Was that because of him?
Every time you say before Sean Brosnan came, you can and should say, before the Youngs and Sahlmans came.
2016 was the first time the Newbury Park boys team ever made it to the state meet. That year, they only had 1 Young and 0 Sahlmen on the team.
Nico wasn’t even the fastest freshman on the team at sections
So, in his 2 years without the Young twins and the Sahlmans he made it to State as the last qualifier and took 9th the first year and then didn't even make it to State the next year. Then the other Youngs and the Sahlmans came.

Brosnan changed HS running with Newberry Park. He also had a girls breaking relay national records, girls running 4:36, boys running 8:44, sub 9min, the list goes on. Honestly this was an amazing time to watch and witness. Complete GOAT

Ha yeah, In 2017, Nico was dead last on the team at sections

Sorry, I'm confused. Did Brosnan run any of those races? The Youngs and Sahlmans changed HS running.
Girls (as in multiple) running 4:36? He had a single girl run 4:37, not girls. He did a good job with a LOT of talented kids. We've all seen the threads about the embarrassment of riches he was blessed to coach based on the middle school studs that came to Newbury during his tenure.
Why was it that before the Youngs and Sahlmans came, he barely squeaked into the State meet one year and didn't qualify the next year. The GOAT can't get a team to state meet after coaching them for 2 years? Soles had his team to NXN in his first year and were the National champs in year 2. I would call that the GOAT over a guy who couldn't get his team to even qualify for the state meet in year 2.
And then he got fired and became unemployed. Mary Cain was once a great runner. Richard Nixon was once a great president. People change and things change.

I wonder how he feels to know all of his success was tied to two families? Do you suppose he thanked them when he got the UCLA job?
