Joan Hunter of Loudoun Valley HS (VA) shares tips on building a team culture and turning their program into a NXN Champion program: youtube.com/watch?v=Px-RcU…

Advice to new coaches – Focus, know your focus. First it may be state championship then something else, but figure out focus and think about it and ask questions and go to clinics. Be a kid driven program to help them achieve their goals. -@DougSoles

@JohnJSipple @HSRunningCoach Amen! I don't believe in the word taper! Why cut a productive stimulus!

"But I think something that people tend to do a lot is they back off so much that you’re removing the stimulus and the body’s already starting to regress. Hormonally, nervous system wise, I think you’re starting to" - John Sipple on tapering

"The boys know what pace is comfortable and what they can handle. We try to hit a little bit of a negative split on the way back than on the way out, just so that once again we’re trying to train them mentally to know, “I can always go negative." -Timo Mostert on the long run
