Mentors in Coaching

One of the reasons I love to continue to sell “Speed Trap” both on this site and on Amazon is it’s a story that has to be told as it’s about sport but more importantly it’s about life.

I get letters from people regarding how much they have loved this book. The discussion recently about DeGrass makes me realize how we all need mentors to follow and hopefully we have the opportunity to have these people share in the biggest decisions we might face in our lives.

Charlie told a story in Speed Trap not just about what happened at the 1988 Olympics but much more importantly about about how he accomplished creating a club for athletics that dominated Canadian track and field for several years.

I’ve posted a photo of Percy Duncan. What an interesting person who I am fortunate to have met more than once. Charlie had tremendous respect for this man.

If you have not already check out the new page I created on Facebook and like it. I would appreciate the recognition.
