Can anyone tell me what websites would be good for learning the basics of coaching the other events in t&f?

What are "the other events"?
Non distance. Jumps, throws, sprints.

This is like a new form of racism.
When I used to coach (5 years ago in Kentucky) I only focused on distance as that was all I cared about. The distance kids were the most dedicated, and it seemed like everyone else was messing around.
Throws: Get them in the weight room 3x a week, just have then practice throwing the thing, and tons of drills.
Jumps: They mostly did their own thing, tons of plyos and drills with a few sprints out of the block and practiced hurdling.
Sprints: Same extensive warm up as the distance runners, minus the 2-3 miles of running. Some days run easy minumum 15 min, other days practice starts, accelerations, flying 30's, or workouts like 10 100's or 150's with 50m walk or things like that.
Maybe that's why all those kids hated me and did their own thing, and we never won a meet.
I'm assuming that this is a troll attempt but seriously if you google the Canadian Coaching Center they have a ton of stuff that you can look at/listen too and it's top quality stuff. Also if you visit ustfccca.com and look at techniques magazine they have a ton of stuff too.
