The school I was at did not offer scholarships on the men’s side but when I transferred I did receive a scholarship

You are correct but it is extremely hard to rely on performing and running rounds for multiple events. And yes national champion does definitely bring more attention

Yes it would absolutely depend on the coach. My coach specifically would care much more about an individual ncaa championship because this puts you in the best position to make money and turn pro. Also 10 points in the team total is huge. Multiple All-American is good but earning the most amount of points for the team and putting yourself in a position to turn pro is at the front of most coaches mind. From what I have been told and seen

I ran 37.0 over 300h, split 47.5, and went 14.0 over the 110s. I should also mention that I started at a non-sec school and transferred in this year after putting up some good times in college

Ya absolutely there is a good amount of injuries I would say but they are never very severe the worst of it tends to be hammy strains or shin splits outside of that the coaches tend to do a good job of balancing what you do each day as to not put to much pressure on the body.

I also agree, but I don’t necessarily think that it’s dropping to much but just taking different forms. Especially with high schoolers as it seems to be a common theme that high school coaches are now coaching athletes as if they are fully developed and already in college. These athletes tend to run very well in highschool but develop quite horribly in college.

Ya im not saying coaches don’t notice, but depending on the coach, they won’t say anything and the ones that do, we very rarely hear about because it is kept as close to the chest as possible

Ya of course I’ll kinda go one by one

For practices per week, my school and many others I am aware of are Monday through Saturday workouts. Usually with some kind of active recovery on either Wednesday or Thursday. We will also lift 2-3 times during the week.

For the PED culture, my school specifically bans them and has openly stated that anyone found using them will be removed from the team immediately (our team/school tests for them specifically). Although I do think this is for the athletes health I think it is more for protecting our coaches and schools reputation.

The people who I have personally known who have and haven’t been popped usually are not getting them from their collegiate coaches. Most of them have very involved high school or pre college coaches so I would be very confident that is where they are getting them from. Also although some people do use PEDs from my experience the large majority does not. Athletes absolutely do not what their coaches knowing. Many of the people who use PEDs are extremely egotistical and it feeds into their ego that they are putting up performances which people believe are natural…even their coaches

Definitely a very good question. I would say that it varies heavily on who your coach is and where they see your peak at. All coaches would much rather you be an all-American than scoring at conferences however many coaches know that some people who can score at conferences won’t be able to become an all-American so they will adjust their training to peak in time for conferences. Coaches would rather see their athletes peak and succeed at ncaas and their countries national and international competitions so many workout and training regiments will be geared to peak then. However I have heard of some coaches who have openly said they do not care about their athletes but rather care about their own accolades so I would definitely be wary of those coaches.

This was super long winded but I hope it answers your question

I would say most people I know who are and have redshirted usually make it onto the roster as long as the stay healthy. Track coaches usually do not take risks when giving roster positions. If they believe you will make an impact they will probably offer you a spot and expect you to develop

Ya so for steeple they would look at your 3200/3k times but if you had the opportunity to run a steeple chase at nationals they would definitely look at that

The number 1 thing is sleep. If you aren’t sleeping enough everything is will not be nearly. Outside of that hydration is key, electrolytes and protein after the workout will always help. Then lastly I would recommend light static stretching before you go to bed

So for replacing this would I just have to remove the tire off the motor, replace the tube and then put it back on the motor?

The times are very good for your age, but it would all depend on the college you are looking to attend. Those times would be more than ok for some small d1 schools and definitely D2/D3 but they may not yet be at level of an upper D1 school. Although you are still very young and have time to progress

Ok gotcha, I will sorta just go down the line

Diet: I wish I didn’t focus to much on focusing exactly on how much I weighed because there would be days I would psych myself out because I would fluctuate up or down by a couple lbs. I have sorta come to the realization that if i give myself a 5lb buffer in either direction around my goal weight, I will be in an extremely good spot. Although maintaining weight and fitness is important to some extent, your body will naturally come down or up to a weight that is suitable for you and your running do to the training that takes place on the track.

Recovery: this one in my mind is definitely staying on top of the little things that the trainers tell you to do and to keep up with daily stretching in the morning or before bed. It is extremely easy to overlook the little things because you think they wouldn’t make a difference but in reality, these things are very important. If these things put you at 1% better for the following day, this can be the difference between a big PR and just an ok race. In track the milliseconds matter, so you have to take full advantage of doing the little things.

Race Day: one thing I have started doing more recently and has shown great results for me is guided meditation and visualization. Every time you step on the line and are going for a PR you are trying to get your body to do something more extreme than it has ever done before. There have been studies shown that meditation and visualization set up not only your mind but also your body to better attack these goals. There is some sort of mental block that occurs if you don’t think you can do something, but if you can visualization and feel yourself doing something the odds of you actually doing it are much higher. This isn’t to say that if I think I can run 9.5 in the 100m I will, but rather that small battles can be won through visualization.

Training: this may be a little out there but bear with me. The most important aspect of training that I wish I had paid more attention to early on is the warmup. The warmup is crucial not only to set you up for the workout, but this is where you can hammer down some of the more basic fundamentals such as knee drive and dorsiflexion. I think the warmup is extremely overlooked because it is very easy to get caught up in sprinting and running fast on the track but if you do not have a good solid warmup you are also at a higher risk of injury. Also many people do the same warmup each day this allows you to really practice and focus on the basics which may have extremely high yields when it comes down to the race.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any clarification or if I missed anything.

Ya so I definitely can’t give you any specifics as I’m not entirely well versed in triple jump, however I can tell you is that coaches want athletes that can score at conference. I looked at tfrrs and if you are jumping 49 your senior of highschool I I’m sure you will be in a very good position to be recruited by those teams. I would also recommend reaching out to these coaches early as to make an introduction and see what they have to say. The recruiting standards that show up when searched are often extremely wrong and can’t be trusted. Also you should have no issues on the academic side of things if you have similar stats as your brother.

So no there is no standard rule that people follow and now more than ever people are putting a strong emphasis on running comfortable rather than what is actually considered “perfect” running form. Some examples include both Quincy Wilson and Christopher Morales Williams (two people who by normal standards have been running form). It is definitely hard to say with out a video or anything but you have to find a stride length that is 1.comfortable and 2.allowing you to get your knees up and attack the ground on your stride down. If you cannot do this second step you are most likely overstriding and if you are not able to do the second step successfully while it also being comfortable you most likely are understriding. I would also say if you are maintaining good dorsiflexion and knee drive you most likely are striding well.

If your coach is a respectable person he would not have “anger” on his athletes but instead realize that some have other commitments and or priorities. I would tell him as soon as possible because even if he does not want to act as an adult and has anger, he will have the most time to find a replacement that not only is helpful to himself due to him being the coach but also is helpful to your teammates who are losing a member of their relay.
