Coaches, please don't make us (coaches) all suspect by dating your athletes or former athletes. Find someone your own age, or at least in the ballpark well outside the track and field world you worked in. No athlete should feel like or suspect their coach is grooming them for a later relationship after college, which is what a later union between a coach and former student-athlete looks like. It makes the true closeness of a great, student-athlete relationship seem fraught with prior, poor boundaries.
