High School Winter Distance Camp Dec 26th - Jan 4th / Team Prep USA LLC

It sounds like a great camp. Does anyone know about this camp?

Can someone explain to me why they don't have camps or getaways for the 2 weeks of the year there is a) no track practice and b) its cold as sh*t in the NE for college level runners?

Just a quick question. If he was at the University of Maryland for only three years, and had pretty good success-8 All Americans in 3 years, then why isn't he at a bigger school, or at least still a D-I coach? From the way that his site name drops, you would think he's a big name, but truth be told, I haven't ever heard of him. The only explanation I can think of is if he didn't actually coach those All Americans and is taking credit for their success because he somehow had contact with them. Anyone know anything about this fellow? I'm always interested in credentials as people see them/post them.

HMMMMMM.... Does seem a little fishy. I really doubt he had anything to do with all those HS runners from all around the country. As for Laura Gerber who ran at FSU and is showed on the front page I don't think even runs anymore. She gratuated back in 2002 I believe.

Anyone else have any insight on this guy and or camp?

He takes credit for athletes he snatches from other coaches and then claims their awards as a reflection of his coaching.. Experienced it first hand ..Im not saying he doesn't do some good training..I think he does, but I do feel his claims are way exaggerated ..

As a parent of a son who went to Team Prep USA for the entire camp last year and whose son is going back this year… Coach Trent and Team Prep is the real deal. The camp is experience is like no other. You can doubt his credentials or see it first hand through your son. When your kid comes home and tells you how he didn’t want to come back. Stings a bit to hear that, but you also know it’s not personal… it is more than just about running for them at this place. It’s life changing as my son puts it and the most positive environment for them. His words, not mine. So you can doubt his credentials, but my son was not getting what he needed from his HS. You do what you need to do for your kid and no one should make you feel guilty for that.
