Angela I. Development

Charlie,

In Speed Trap, you wrote how when Angela came to you at 19, she was 2 years behind in training.

  1. What did you use to draw this conclusion?

  2. How do you decide where the athlete’s training goes each year? I guess I’m still confused with the disucssions of changing programs types etc (i.e. PJ’s comments of Koch’s speed and SE yearly focus).

Well she had very little training and normally someone that age who had that much raw ability IMO would already have a few years of training under their belt. She seemed to have fallen through the cracks and had pretty much been ignored.

BTW, her book “Running Risks” is an excellent read if you can find it!

I have read it. Great book.
