For those defending Sean with their lives saying oh he had so many good runners break 9 in high school and oh look at the success with Ronan with 3:54 or mireles with 7:52 in the 3k it’s because he absolutely trains them to the ground and hopes they survive. I don’t think any of you remember seeing Staggs or Mireles race in the spring at even conference well guess what because Brosnan broke them because his intense training that made them run those times is not sustainable and he could care less about injury prevention when he rather focus on his golden girls Sam McDonnell and Mia Barnett. Those who have long standing success with Brosnan as their coach are honestly those lucky enough to not get hurt and have the resources to recover because obviously with all their sponsorships the Young’s and Sahlmans had more benefits that I’m sure most D1 college athletes get. Let’s look at some of those low 9 to sub 9 milers. Dev Doshi ran 9:02 and sub 15 5k as a sophomore and his been pretty much broken ever since. Hector Martinez another rising star as a junior broke as well and does not even run anymore. Or how about Aaron Cantu who broke 9 his senior year with his wife Tanya in charge so the training was the same. He ended up hurt by masters blowing up and running in the 9:40s. I tip my hat to the Young’s and Sahlamns for staying relatively healthy but not everyone can and it’s no wonder why UCLAs runners improved so much last year under Brosnan not because he’s a miracle worker but because if you give anyone with talent extremely hard training after they had a crappy coach with Dev Elizondo for 4 years you’re bound to see improvement.
