1. Ronnie coaching this kid is just wholesome as all get out. Listen to him cackle with delight at the kid’s progress.
2. This is exhibit A in light of the recent DSD and trans issues flaring up again. Male hormones make a HUGE difference in running performance.
that transformation is incredible. Why was Warhurst working with him when he was a young pup?

Warhurst is friends with Kesslers dad, a local HS coach in Ann Arbor, and attended one of Hobbs workouts and saw something special

I didn't realize Kessler had been working with Warhurst so early. I thought that only developed his senior year of HS.
Man, what an aligning of the stars. You can tell Warhurst is having a ball with this retirement project! That setup they have going with the phenom (Kessler), the prime years Olympian (Ferlic), and the career twilight all-time great (Willis), all under the watchful eye of the wise old Coach is damn special.
Fun to watch, and also makes me jealous I didn't have such a great college coach--you can tell Ron cares

Because Coaches Coach, Most never become Great, For one hid he Coaches running a Mile in under 6 Minutes to get an A in his Class is a Dream Come True, For a Very Small Number becoming All American, Winning NCAA's an Olympic Medal etc. Warhurst was a Longtime Coach at The University Of Michigan where he had the Luxury of Recruiting Top Talent, But he is retired, but he likes to Coach So he gets many from Scratch and works with them, which is rewarding in itself as beginners Constantly Improve, Looks like he started with Kessler when he had some running experience but was not good, I read his best Mile before this year was 4:18 so Coaching Local Random Kids he found one that had undiscovered Elite Potential and he got him to a High Level. Kessler had to have Some Talent to get to 3:34 because even the best Coaches can't get Donkeys to win the Kentucky Derby, So Kessler had to have ability that no one knew he had including Kessler Himself.
Kid not Hid

That was my takeaway. I started running at 27 and that video makes me wish I had a coach like that.
Testosterone is a hell of a hormone!

Same here, so many times over.
Imagine the benefit of a coach like that vs. 95% of HS coaches.
Yea. Most half decent adolescent boy club or state-level runners can easily beat the best women in the world. Shave a half decent boy runner legs, put a wig on him and some crafty make-up. Voila, you have a kid that could pass easily as female. Plenty could, as they’re still so thin and slight. The problem is that as they get older - towards early 20s, the masculinity usually looks more obvious.
I do think more female runners should be tested for these XY DSD conditions - not just the most obvious cases. Starting with S.McLaughlin please - someone who is suddenly looking very masculine indeed, just as she’s exited her teen years. Scandalous idea - that maybe she’s recently complied with the 6 month testosterone suppression rules (her jump down to the 100mH might be explained by this as 100mH aren’t covered by the XY DsD rules..). Or maybe she’s just on drugs like everyone else and needs to ease up on her schedule a bit..that jaw though..look at her intro at the US trials.. something going on there l..
The cognitive dissonance on this male vs female issue is overwhelming. The entire reason there is a men’s division and a women’s division in practically every sport is because this fact is beyond obvious. If it wasn’t so obvious, we wouldn’t have a men’s and women’s division in the first place m.
Biological men have the right to complete in biological men’s sports. Not women’s. Because they have a huge advantage over biological women. We all know it. End.
Justastupido, wtf??

This is a false equivalency though, comparing a boy in puberty to intersex women.
Boys going through puberty have huge, HUGE amounts of testosterone being produced. Even when they’ve finished puberty, fully grown men release on average 10x the amount of testosterone that a woman with ovaries produces.
An intersex XY woman produces about 2-3x the amount as an XX woman.
The comparison is not even close.

testosterone is male priviledge

While you are generally correct in what you say, the "intersex XY woman" that you describe suffers from androgen insensitivity syndrome. That is, the testosterone receptors in the body do not work -- either partially or completely. So they do not respond to testosterone like the rest of us do.

As has already been explained to you when you posted this same crap the other day in a different thread, ALL professional female runners ARE ALREADY tested for their testosterone levels. Yes, that includes Sydney McLaughlin.
And has also already been explained to you, Sydney McLaughlin started getting tested back in 2016 when she qualify for the Olympics. So if she was DSD, that would have been found out 5 years ago.
One of the things that makes Kessler special is his rock climbing ability. It gives him extra strength and also helps him to figure out things in racing
