@beau_throws @coachgambetta @MittonSarah Absolutely a favorite when I was coaching football.

Named after 1960 Olympic shot-put champ Bill Nieder, the Nieder Press has been used by athletes the world over 💪 🎥 @MittonSarah > Leo Fabbri > Payton Otterdahl > Brian Oldfield.

Just because a football player has a good 40y doesn’t mean they’re going to have a good 100m Just because they run track doesn’t mean they’ll get a faster 40 either

Tonight 🔥🔥🔥

It’s happening…

No Such Thing as Middle Distance. Loved the presentation by @SprintersCompen last evening on how to train runners built for the 400/800m. A couple of takeaways 🧠 14-day cycles 💡Variety in training stimulus / multi-factorial approach 🧪 Learn how he tests his athletes at the beginning of each season D-Crew Members, here's your link to the recording: coachingdistance.com/team-2/ryan-ba…

Coach Ryan Banta @SprintersCompen (author of The Sprinter's Compendium) will share the webinar🔥No Such Thing as Middle Distance🔥 next Wednesday @ 6 PM Mountain. I love learning different ways to train athletes and I have a feeling this is going to be a good one. RSVP here! coachingdistance.com/team-2/ryan-ba…

@KoachVaughn Good stuff coach!

To no one in particular Let me stand on something for a second and then im officially done. Please refer to this post from now on Yes…I have seen the viral video I was coaching the athlete. We lost the race. Period. But what that video doesn’t show…. Skylar Hudnall responded by setting a conference record in the 5k and walked down the favorite coming in in the same fashion without the theatrics. The record he set winning was an almost 90 SECOND personal best. Skylar also ran one of the fastest miles in the history of the SWAC two weeks earlier in 4:07.89. Which is the best our program has seen maybe ever. Skylar is an excellent, hardworking student as well. He’s a great teammate and all his teammates respect and love him no matter where they come from and what their skin color is. This is Skylar’s SECOND HBCU he chose coming from W Virginia State. Skylar has the support of his teammates and his coach (Me) without question. Our staff believes in him. Skylar’s coach (Me) doesn’t have much experience with distance running and is figuring it out every day (shout out to my UW guys that have contributed). He still shows up and trusts the process. I could care less what your color, socioeconomic background, or whatever we use to separate us is. If you work like this young man does, treat people with respect, act like an adult, and work to graduate….I WILL COACH YOU. I have tremendous respect for Garfield and his program. We take the L in the mile like we took the W in the 5k. With respect for all who competed. This is a lesson for our program and the young people. Social media is full of people with comments and no context. The vast majority of them cant do what any of these athletes do daily. So all yall that have liked, commented, shared, and laughed….we remain unbothered. We moved on after the race and focused on the 5k. In the words of Deion You didn’t make us You can’t break us I’m proud to have him with us FITFO

Excited! Great job ladies!!!

So excited!!!! Good job, girls!

State Champs!!!!

Coaches have reached out to me about becoming a HC, I have never done this, so let's start a thread. "What advice would you give a Coach that is looking to become an Head Coach?"

@CoachTatum90 Here are my thoughts. Let me know what you think! @MTCCCA @ITCCCA @MNTFCA @WISTCA youtube.com/live/j9t3_6XtO…

Coaches, administrators, educators, and entrepreneurs pick up this book @amazon by the most successful coach this century! A must-read! @mtccca

@MikeCunningham Excited!!!

Holy cow, just realized next week is our 350th(!) Gill Connections podcast episode. I probably should have some kind of legend on right? RIGHT?!
