In other words, if they can not replicate it to its full extent, and I consider this method to be S&C program limited only to crazy pro runners, imagine how successful could they be There must be a reason why CF’s methods are added to Jim’s S&C methods in Youngy’s program So drop this and do a more advanced program and you will have a better chance of making it. Why would you use JB’s method when you have already a far more comprehensive and advanced system created by Charlie, or Hart, or other more successful coaches. And all of these coaches have successfully completed Year 10.”

Who the hell are you to offer me advice on how I could be a better coach - I suspect you are light years behind me in terms of achieving coaching success. I don’t come on this forum to be ridiculed about the methods I employ.

I’m based in Adelaide where athletics is very much a minority sport with about 600 registered athletes. I assume you are from Melbourne where the general population is 5 times that of Adelaide and has an athletic population around 7 to 8 times that of Adelaide so exponentially you should have achieved a hell of a lot more than a mug like me using an archaic, mediocre training system.

So it’s about time you started to tell us about the wonderful success you’ve had by NOT using speedball.

I won’t even begin to ask about ‘elite’ athletes because if you had coached one remotely close to a Wells, a McNeil, a Brimacombe etc, I’m sure you would have told us by now. So I’ll keep the questions at a reasonable level for an A grade interclub athlete.

So Sevo please answer the following 10 questions:

1. How many sub 11s athletes have you coached, who are they, what did they run?

2. How many sub 22s athletes have you coached, who are they, what did they run?

3. How many sub 48s 400m athletes have you coached, who are they, what did they run?

4. How many open state 100/200/400 champions have you coached?

5. How many 100/200/400 finalists at a national open championship have you coached?

6. How many medallists in a national title whether it be U/20, U/23 or open have you coached?

7. How many athletes have you had make an Australian team at an open level?

8. What is the highest level including fastest 100m times any athlete of yours has achieved?

9. What is your single biggest achievement as a coach?

I await with glee for the answers?
