Creep/liar/money-hungry/scam and cult sum up my experience with Trent. Camp was incredible and the other coaches and athletes were and still are great friends. But if you weren’t one of his “clients” you were nothing. His entire social media presence on his personal accounts which he uses to follow many of his athletes is sharing pictures of him traveling the US, vacationing, and living a life of luxury while making pit stops at the homes of anyone willing to pay him to “coach their kids into college”... no athlete should have to decide between their High school team and a private coach with few credentials other than taking the success and fame of young athletes’ as his own. As a sophomore at his camp I was running 11:11 in the 3200m yet I went unnoticed to the the 6:05 girls in the 1600 because they were the clients- the ones foolish enough to believe they had to pay for their success and fast times. Money doesn’t get you fast. Hard work and having fun does. And Trent removes that by creating divide, hostility and judgement, a false belief of superiority, and by making you believe you can’t be successful without him.

Skip the Crested Butte trust fund in the sky and go to the best, most uncompromisingly DIY summer xc program in existence: The Running School in upstate NY. This summer will be year 50 for them. You could not find a program with more integrity.

Sean Brosnan is the best and worst part of that camp. -
He is one hell of a marketer! How much is this camp?

Update:
Lauren Pansegraue, a team prep USA runner, has demolished the local WI scene with the first ever sub-17 5k FOR XC on state soil (beating Molly Seidel and Suzy Favor) , lowered prs to 4:58 and 10:19, all AFTER she joined team prep. Obviously they are exceptional at developing athletes who want to train and get to the next level. Seems the coach at Team Prep knows what he’s doing!! Shes only a junior and has become national caliber after joining team prep. -

She was national caliber prior to joining team prep USA. She ran 10:47 in the 3200 as a FRESHMAN before team prep. This was in the top 20 of all high school freshmen.
Trent has become an expert at attaching himself to already elite athletes and claiming credit for their natural progression.
