I am taking a theory of coaching track a field class and we msut assemble a notebook containing article reviews for all event groups in track a field (i.e. sprints, jumps, hurdles, middistance, throws, etc.) I was wondering if there were any coaches or others out there who would have some suggestions for websites where I could find coaching theory articles for these event groups. Thanks.
There's some good stuff here:
elitetrack.com
It's more in books than websites. Article reviews would be more like Jess Jarver's stuff. Jarver has produced a series of books that are mostly collections/reviews of the best training articles for the various events. You can find them at places like MF Athletic (everythingtrackandfield.com) and VS Springco vsathletics.com. There's also "Track Coach," by subscription from Track and Field News. You may be able to find these in your library. There are also books like The USA Track and Field Coaching Manual (USATF) and High Performance Training For Track and Field (Bowerman/Freeman), which provide direct coverage for all T&F events.
I think I'd be a bit cautious about listing to a bunch of mostly mid/long distance people (pponline) talk about sprints, hurdles, and throws.
I am not just looking for distance coaches advice. . although in most situations it seems the Head Coach is of mostly distance background. I am looking for multiple sites and multiple coaches of various backgrounds views on the different events.
If any once else is curious about this I found a site coacheducation.com and that is very detailed great site.
