The athlete life of the sport and career don’t reflect each other and it’s hard grasp. The sport is pure and performance based. The career and its advancement is cloudy and f’d up at times. Dreadfully frustrating when you want control of how things work out.

It’s hard to separate how you approach the sport and a career. Painful really.

"Coaching is haaaarrrrrrd....."

It's a job. It has ups and downs. If you're not in it to serve the athletes you are responsible for you're in it for the wrong reason. Stop worrying about climbing the ladder and just do a good job where you are. It's an insanely competitive field with very few opportunities compared to applicants. If you thought it was going to be just as fun and easy as being an athlete you were sorely mistaken. It's insanely rewarding if you focus on the right things, and insanely frustrating if you're only concern is what your resume looks like and what your next move is. Get over it and do a great job, or get out of the profession and find something that suits you better and has more stability.

Cute. There are legitimate reasons to seek new employment in the same field. Climb ladder? I’d happily go down a level or two.

Nobody knows what’s going on at Stanford not even JJ.

Another surprising hire if you ask me.

This is a great hire. She made a predominately distance running, expensive private school, relevant in the sprints.

So it does say she coached 6 ncaa first round qualifiers - the best I can see the last two seasons

At Richmond is that they had 6 total

Ncaa first rounders - the same 3 girls each year - 2 in the 800 and 1 in the steeple -

Not exactly who a sprint coach will be coaching. That being said she did a real nice job with her first recruiting class at Richmond.

Who issued Stanford throws coach? Why is it being kept so quiet?

No one cares that you got your rejection email. Instead tell us who actually got the position.

its a sh*t hire.

It’s the former southern miss throws coach. She was fired or quit and was out of coaching for 3 years. Good luck Cardinal throwers hahahaha.

Jen svoboda

why was she fired? I googled southern miss throws and found that some kid had died when she was there? is he related?

All I’m saying is I don’t know if JJ is good with background checks.

Matt Kane for FSU Sprints

FWIW, CARA is the same throughout DI, RARA is different. You're half right.

I never said CARA was different in DI.

Good pick up for FSU. No one in the ACC seems to consistently compete in the sprints, especially on the men's side . Expect FSU to continue to dominate.
