Yeah BUT that is the whole point of coaching. Boling was already a good, fast athlete in HS. An athlete will naturally increase the levelnof their potential as they mature and strengthen, but an advanced coach needs to take that raw ability and remove barriers to achieve that potential. In this, they have failed.
He has been marginally faster on occasions when it didn’t really matter. Every hack exhibits this same pattern. Well-coached and well-trained athletes, otoh, exhibit precisely the opposite pattern. The list is too long to get into, but even extends to Boling analogs like Lemaitre.
Not only is he not developing a winning championship pattern, it actually appears that he has either stood still while others develop a winning pattern (100), or actually developing a losing pattern (200).This is a disaster. How were his hs champs times vs his other times in the season? How were his final NCAA times relative to his others this season? They are either disastrous like the 200, or only marginal like the 100 (10.21 basic, twice), with the final being no better than the semi.
Some coaches just suck, and are stuck on things like struggling with basic mechanics. Among coaches who are any good, the important thing is to successfully match the coach to the athlete’s needs. Either his coaches just plain suck, or there is a bad mismatch. The only improvement he has shown has been natural improvement from physical maturation—and even at that, they might have actually held him back.
From where I sit, they have done him, at best, no good whatsoever.
Those 2 years are a huge 2 years, he will never get them back. Life’s too short, make the switch now. Find a better match.
