With all the information and support you get as part of
your Complete Program Design for Sprinters investment,
it’s easy for certain things to get overlooked.

In my experience, one of the most valuable parts of the
program is the monthly live Q&A call where I answer any
questions you have about writing workouts, problems with
athletes, etc.

Here’s a couple questions I took right from the
teleseminar signup where I asked you what your number
one biggest question was.

These are the kinds of questions I hear all the time and
the kind I’ll be answering every month (or during your
free 30 minute phone consult)

QUESTION 1: In the past, my sprinters have complained
that training for the 400m is much different than that
of the 55 meters and that it actualy slows their fast
twitch muscle fibers with the overdistance workouts.
How would you handle this problem?

QUESTION 2: WITH THE 400M RUNNER: WHAT IS THE BEST WORK
OUT THAT WILL HELP THE ATHELETE TO FINISH STRONGER OVER
THE LAST 60M ONCE LACTIC ACID BECOME A FACTOR?

A few weeks ago I sent you a survey about program
design for track sprinters.

The results were all over the map. But one thing is
for sure…

…you could use some help with your program design!

Let me show you why:

I asked you if you establish a training inventory before
sitting down to periodize your season.

43.6% of you said ‘Yes’
56.4% of you don’t

Without a training inventory, how do you know which
drills, exercises, workouts and progressions you’ll use
during the season?

Or which ones you’ll *need*?

Even more importantly, without establishing a training
inventory you it’s practically impossible to
periodize your season effectively.

I asked you if you know the difference between the
General Preparation, Special Preparation, PreCompetitive,
Competitive and Transition phases of training.

46.3% of you said ‘Yes’
53.7% of you said you don’t really know

I can promise you this:

If you don’t have a clear understanding of the demands
of these phases of training and how they fit into
your sprinters’ overall preparation, I have great news…

…your sprinters could be *much*, *much* faster.

Because understanding the phases of training is
absolutely critical to effective program design.

But this is the one that hurt me the most…

And it suggests that many of you…stretched
the truth…about establishing a training inventory
and understanding the phases of training.

I asked you to identify a Special Endurance I workout.

I gave you 4 options.

Only 17.4% chose the correct answer (4×220m @95% w/15′ rest).

My friend. That is not good. Because it shows a lack
of understanding as to how to progress workouts,
where they fit into training or how they affect the
body.

This leads directly to inconsistency in training and
in competition.

Without a training base, your sprinters can’t expect
to peak and run their fastest when it matters. They
won’t have the foundation that puts them in that
position.

Well you’re no different.

Without a proper knowledge base, you can’t put your
sprinters in position to meet their potential.

That’s why I want to help.

On Tuesday, November 11, I’m hosting a f.ree teleseminar
covering the “Top 5 Ways to Guarantee New Personal Bests
for Every Sprinter…From 55 - 400 Meters.”

If you coach sprinters, especially at the high school
level, you need to be on this call.

The indoor season is right around the corner and
neither you or your athletes can afford to make the
same mistakes again this year.

So click here now to sign up for this call. You have
nothing to lose and everything to gain:

Here in the United States we’re all getting ready to
vote in the Presidential election.

And there are still a few undecided voters out there
having a tough time making a decision.

Just like you’re having a tough time deciding whether
or not Complete Speed Training is the right program
for you and your needs.

So watch this video that I think will help you
make a decision you can feel comfortable about:

I won’t tell anyone if you don’t.

You see, it’s not socially appropriate to say
this out loud.

If you do, people will look at you funny. They’ll
give you the gas face.

They may even act offended.

Who are these people?

Coaches, parents and trainers who say:

“I only coach for the kids.”

or

“The only reason for coaching is the athletes.”

Well unless they were raised by Buddhist monks
that’s just not a true statement.

Do you coach for the kids? Yes.

Mostly for the kids? Yes, of course.

But ‘only’ for the kids?

Give me a break.

It’s perfectly OK to admit to being just a
little bit selfish. To admit that part of the
reason you like coaching is because developing
successful athletes and running a winning program
makes you feel good…about yourself.

That doesn’t make you lesser of a person or
lesser of a coach.

It’s OK to have personal goals and expectations
that are separate from ‘the athletes’.

It’s OK to allow yourself to feel satisfaction
and pride from the good coaching job YOU did.

Because it’s not a ‘black or white’ issue.

And it’s not an ‘either/or’ proposition.

As long as you don’t let your personal goals
and aspirations affect your interactions with
your athletes, then you can still stand on
both sides of the fence.

It’s not very difficult to separate what you
want for yourself from what you want for your
athletes.

The coaches who say they *only* do it for the
athletes are just as arrogant as the ones who
only do it for themselves. They’re just on the
opposite end of the spectrum.

It’s still all about them. They’re better than
those coaches who care about petty trappings of
the Ego like ‘winning’ and ‘personal glory’.

Riiight…

I like the feeling of knowing that my program
or system helped athletes achieve levels of
success they otherwise wouldn’t have been
able to experience.

Don’t you?

I like the feeling that comes from people coming
up to me and saying ‘Man what are you doing
with your athletes? It’s like night and day
since they started working with you’.

Don’t you?

I like the feeling of having former athletes
call and email me years after they graduated
to thank me for helping them become better both
on and off the field.

Don’t you?

It doesn’t make it any less about the kids.

It just means you don’t have to pretend to be
Mother Teresa all the time.

So yes, you coach mostly for the athletes. But
you coach for yourself too.

Let go of the idea that you have to feel
guilty or selfish about that. When you
change the way you look at things, the things
you look at change.

So do it because you want to do it. Mostly
for your athletes, but partly for you too:

Order Complete Speed Training

And don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. It can
be our little secret.

To *your* success,
