I happen to agree. Alberto was a mentor for many, including me in the early 80s. His form, while unorthodox, was smooth and efficient. He glided across the ground like a horse galloping. He used no waisted motion and was extreemly focussed.
He works hard and is goal oriented, so his success with his athletes does not surprise me. Driven and able to focus on the endgame until death approaches shows his attitude to get the job done.
People like to criticize Alberto, including me at times. It seems all people that get allot of attention are subject to scrutiny, no matter what. If he seems aloof , it's a matter of him needing to screen out the negative chatter so that can distract from his tasks at hand.
I commend Alberto for his successes as an athlete and now as a coach. I hear allot about drug allegations, unorthodox training techniques and the rest.
First, any unsubstantiated facts about drug use can not hold up in a court of law, so one should assume the best until proven otherwise. Secondly about his unorthodox style of coaching, like his style of running, it works.
Galen Rupp, Goucher's et. all show he can get his athletes to perform. I wish him good wishes and good luck.
