I can’t cheer for Grant Fisher

Having thought about this more… because it really pisses me off when someone goes after (in this case Rits and Fisher) based on his feelings, insinuates things, then plays up “he was one of us” but no longer based on the OP’s emotions then airs it to build controversy for his own satisfaction.

Michigan HS Coach shouldn’t stop there, he may has well throw Brazier in the mix just to get the trifecta of recent Michigan T&F greats. Interesting how he singled out Kessler as in no way would go with Nike like he was on Kesslers’ insider team of confidants - very strange to think that highly of himself, unless he truly is, and if that is the case it comes down to Nike bashing, jealousy and arogance.

The purpose of your thread is to slander an incredible young man who is a true role model. There is no proof and not even a hint that Grant is doping., so why bother posting? You’re just another sh*t MI high school coach pissed off that great talents like Grant and Hobbs used private coaches and didn’t let a goober like you run them into the ground for a conference championship.

worth noting that Hobbs's HS coach was his dad, which worked out very well - Hobbs was able to do what was necessary to contribute to team success (anchoring the 4x8 at states, for instance) without being "run into the ground." Plenty of good communication between Mr. Kessler and Warhurst, and everyone seems happy with the arrangement. (No conference championships though, Skyline doesn't have the sprinters necessary for that lol)

Whereas the situation at Grand Blanc was...acrimonious and a great example of how NOT to handle a generational talent with a private coach. HS coach trying to tell Grant what to do, private coach trying to tell the rest of the team what to do, all very bad, and everyone was upset.

(And of course, Grant's not doping.)

May be spot on with respect to Kessler, his Dad being coach and Warhurst. I don’t know but will take what you say.

With respect to Fisher’s Grand Blanc situation I do have understanding and what you say is not how it was - at all. Everyone was not upset.

Firstly, Fisher played soccer through high school. He played club

/academy soccer and even represented the US in soccer. That commitment to do two sports at that level at the same time required understanding from his Grand Blanc high school coach, his private coach and his parents. I know there was a lot of push back from other high school coaches about letting a Fisher compete while not training full time with the high school team. Thankfully the coach at Grand Blanc saw the talent that Fisher was/is and was able to work with Fishers private coach, push back the negativity from coaches and some parents and the rest is history.
