Not many of you may know this, but Charlie told me stories of how he had to sit down with coaches in the 1980’s to show them how he structured workouts for his athletes who went to NCAA schools. The coaches were not having success and Charlie had to articulate the progressions. This also occurred with one of the coaches who took over Ben’s training post 1988. Of course, none of these coaches would ever admit Charlie’s help and influence.

You heard it here. Fat chance any of these guys would give Charlie credit. This information was passed to me privately. Charlie had too much class to public air this information for his own personal gain or gratification. However, I feel that all of you should know the truth.

I would think it smart on their part to get a tutorial on what athletes they may be inheriting had been doing.

Some of those guys are much classier than others make them out to be and would definitely give credit where credit is due. At least one of them tutored under Tellez who is arguably just as influential and successful as Charlie.

In reality there is not much chance of Charlie’s mark not being heard, noticed, or seen. He is just too successful, well known and in reality well respected to have it shake out otherwise.

Wasn’t it Stephen Francis who had Charlie’s book in hand at an interview and said something to the affect of “this is pretty much what I follow”?

Any stories about Trevor or Stephen Francis, Glen Mills, John Smith giving Charlie a ring?
