Steffensen under fire in return to Sydney

who coaches John Steffensen now?

John deserves all the hate he receives, for a long time I defended him but I found out he is dishonest and can’t be trusted, in the near future I will be forthcoming in disclosing events/incidents which will open the eyes of many.

Apparently on a National TV show out of Sydney just now Sally Pearson didn’t miss him. Apparently unloaded on Steffensen. Has never been a fan to begin with.

i would have loved to have seen that, currently in china at a pre season training camp working with chongqing lifan

i sent the article to a certain person yesterday his reply was interesting to say the least lol.

Sally didn’t rip Steff’s nuts off, but took him apart in a gold medal manner - with style… here’s the video link to the TV home page and there a window with Sally Pearson in it. (For those who don’t know, Pearson is IAAF Female AOY and 100m Hurdles world champion from Daegu with 12.28).
Nanny who’d you show the article to…Big John?

thanks for the link will watch it now

yeah i did! its a pity i will miss him when he is in melbourne next month owe him a few crownies, what a great guy been lucky to have spent hrs and hrs with 3 legends of sport through my jobs CK in taiwan was awesome and a legend and between all the time with charlie and john i couldnt put a price on the value of their friendhsip and help in my education to performance that has more cross sport relevance on team sport than many people realise

Those couple of comments, remind me of the popular having a secret and the less-popular wasn’t allowed to know. LOL :slight_smile:

Saw John training yesterday. I could have gone and talked to him but he looked like he was having fun. He is doing nothing more then Mundine, Green and Mohammed Ali did. He laughs when he says don’t take it personal, I am a sportsman this is my job.

If I remember next time I see him I’ll ask him.

was thinking maybe Paul Hallam who did supervise alot of john smiths work whilst he trained in australia but havent spoken with paul for a few months with being away

Apparently John didn’t pay Paul for coaching him in 2010 for 3 month period, I believe Paul had to decrease his teaching hours and was financially struggling because of this, now John denies this, and we have two different sides of the story.

John and Paul have not spoken since 2010, I know Paul is not happy about this as it was him who introduced John Smith and set him up in LA.

John does have a Narcissistic personality disorder a condition in which people have an inflated sense of self-importance and an extreme preoccupation with themselves.Taking advantage of other people to achieve their own goals is another classic example of NPD.

I believe he has based himself in WA this season not sure who is coaching him.

I could go one about some of the shit in my coaching carrer that will make Pauls problem pigeon shit. Nothing more than a storm in a teacup.

Also curious who his go between is.

Not getting paid for 3 months work, is not pigeon shit in my view.

Darrel Smith is the go between.

Darrell Smith has been in Australia for two weeks working with Steff and Nia Ali, a promising US female 100m hurdler.

I watched his 400m at the Sydney Track Classic today. To describe his behaviour after the race, including his interview, as utterly contemptible I think is putting it mildly. Narcissistic personality disorder & delusions of grandeur, is spot on!

Darrel Smith, John Smith’s son.

Coaching is the family business, having a son oversee the program of JS, guess it was always on the cards.

Darrell is John’s Nephew

I did a google, must have read it wrong. Any relation to John Steff

Compared to - not getting paid for 5 years, 1.2sec/100 improvement. Some one else gets the glory and $. I got over it, pideon shit.

It is just people/athletes, the way of the world.

Who cares it is all about me. lol with a :wink:
