Why on earth did you choose to run at that school? Were you recruited? did you NOT ask the guys on the team what they thought of the coaches? Did you go to a school to run there because that was the only place that would take you? More than a little bit of this is on you and your terrible decision to run for this clown. Recruiting trips: you did it wrong.
Are you on athletic scholarships? What NCAA division?
to funny:
It was a brand new coach when I came in. He built it up to everyone and everyone bought in for 4 seasons. We are not dummies and started to notice how bad it was. The freshman are starting to notice how bad the training is especially if they came from a decent high school program.
I wasn't recruited. It was 50/50 run and school for me. I may quit.
Why is it always someone else wrote:
I agree that you sound like so many of the other whinning distance runners on this board.
Why is it always the coaches fault that you and your team sucks. Maybe you all need to take a step back look at yourselves and take some accountability for yourself.
Perfect example is my team. We all thought the coach sucked and didnt know what he was doing. We finally got rid of him and the assistant wh we all thougt was so great. Our season was still bad and we all ran basically the same times at the same meets and finished terrible at the end of the season.
Maybe if we had shut up buy into what ever program we would get better.
This is thread is the reason why these boards should be shut down. Just gives us a place to whine, bitch, and blame someone else.
uhhh... when the ENTIRE team sucks IT IS the coaches fault. That is his job.
Your example only shows that that both of your coaches sucked. Your original coach was not very good at convincing runners to buy into his program. That is part of his job.
One or two getting injured and find themselves hating the coach it is likely to be a bad fit. If it is many people, then it is either a hell of a coincidence, including that the coach is clueless how to find recruits that like his system or ....
you will find in life that no matter where you go, it will suck. boss will suck, job will suck. suck it up and come to grips with reality.
