Bobby Kersee What's Up?

Hahaha. 100%. He coaches zero reigning world champions!

His supplier is out of stock.

btwn this and Sydney being injured, what is he doing?

This is part of Bobby’s plan. He bullied Athing into racing at a global championship with insufficient preparation. Given the result, he will now be able to convince Athing to get on his ‘program’ to guarantee gold in Paris.

He helped Keni Harrison run her 100m Hurdles backwards. Her 1st round 12.24 2nd round 12.36, 3rd round 12.48.

Very overrated coach that is full of himself.

I'm glad she raced though. But what does he expect when she only raced twice all year?

Also Brandon Miller and Jenna Prandini bombed at USA’s. Am I missing anyone else?

Long distance clowns have had too much influence on Bob K. Pages and pages of distance runners on here were praising Bob K for having Athing Mu race 4:03.xx 1500m as if ... .

Myself, I have serious doubts about his brilliance as a coach. He made his reputation in the 1980's during the heavy drug/steroid era and he was highly suspect. Now he is showing some success but doing it by recruiting outstanding talent who do NOT seem to be improving under his guiding hand. I think his greatest talent is as a salesman and a self promoter but as a coach? Not so much maybe.

The 1500 idea was misguided but not as awful as advising Mu run 810m rather than 800m

You don't fix what ain't broke

To be fair to Bobby Kersee, Athiing Mu has run wide around the turn for years. It's not something that just started happening.

But I am surprised that Bobby Kersee hasn't been able to put a stop to that.

I tried to keep an open mind about this but today was the last straw. She needs to get out of that training group now. The first mistake he made was taking her out of the 400. She loved running that in college and I think this demoralized her. An early season 1500 would have been fine as a fitness check but she thrived on 400s in the past. Maybe even a 200 to try to break 23.

Yes. She was all out in the first round and even leaned at the line. Why do that in an opening heat unless you knew you were about to or close to the WR?

That's all Keni Harrison. She's been underperforming when it matters her whole career.

Sooo while at college Station she sets a collegiate record in the 800 in doors and out, set another in the 4 x 4, win olympics win worlds set an American record...

And then leave what got you there to go to LA and...

What's that saying? If it ain't broke don't fix it

time to find better drugs
