That girl has some talent. I was shocked watching how much elasticity she has. Joe is coming to your school in a couple days. He may be a good 4x100 guy. I want him in tip top shape for football. He eighs 220 right now and just hit 315 bench so I know ou can work your magic. I will talk to him Wednesday. Plus he wants to outrun Hughes from Dakota.
So I volunteered time at the high school I am teaching at to work with the sprinters and jumpers for the indoor season. We started right after Thanksgiving. There is usually less than 6 athletes there. Most are just looking to stay fit.
The boys do have talent in the school. The best sprinter last year ran 11.1 HT and made it to the state finals due to a weak region. Two years before, he wouldn’t have made it to the finals as you needed a 10.8 to get into the finals. He was skeptical as me being coach but quickly bought in and has been very devoted and committed. Last night he ran his first 60m indoors and won with a 7.17FAT. Not bad for only focusing on 30m. I will post workouts when I get more time to copy paste them from my other hard drive.
I had another boy who has shown up sporadically to practice and maybe has done 2-3 speed days of work. He went to the meet to long jump and jumped 3 personal bests with no jump training at all this year. He was very excited to have jumped 20’2" last night. He is a bigger kid, over 6’1 and near 200 lbs and surprisingly gets good spring off the board. I think he may be in the 21’ range come outdoor in April.
I am training a girl privately who runs at another school. As a 9-th and 10th grader, ran consistent low 12s in the 100m with no training at all. She has been more committed this winter and has done well considering being sick for two weeks since Thanksgiving, having a hamstring strain for another 10 days, and then me having to take a week off for family situations. We train on field turf and she has run 4.50HT 30m from blocks and 4.23 30m from standing recently. She has a lot of technical issues which is what I feel caused the hamstring strain, and a program flaw on my end. We are hoping to run under 12 this year, which, based on history of state finals, would put her in top 5 in the state. On a side note, she has a 30.5" vertical jump. Speedcoach saw her one day do a block start so well she exploded out near on her face. I am excited to have a few kids with some talent to be molded.
