Question about preparation phase

Here is what the coach is trying to tell you. He is trying to say that chances are great that you will mess up your middle distance runners because you have no clue how to coach. He just doesn't want the screw up to be so bad that you discourage the kid from the sport of track. Good luck, and don't ruin all of your middle distance athletes. A few of them might want to run in college.

I find it disturbing that some people on here whine about the lack of respect and coverage that our sport gets, but then we go ahead and treat some of the new coaches with such disrespect when they ask simple questions in order to help young kids.

My comment to you arrogant know-it-alls is to just shut your mouth if you have nothing good to say. A coach comes on here and asks a simple question because he wants to help his athletes improve, and because he is new to the sport. And we greet the guy with comments that mock him. Why don't you understand that it is people like you that drive away new blood in the sport. If I were a new coach I wouldn't come near this board because of the constant ridicule and negativity. And you wonder why our sport is so low on the totem pole. Grow up!

It was nice to see you help the new coach out. Oh wait, you didn't help him out either.
