Testimonials
I am a veteran coach of 34 years and have heard some of the best coaches in the country over my career. I wanted to tell you Jim is one of the best, if not the best, clinician we have ever had. He put his talk in an understandable and progressive format that was easy for both the experienced and novice coach to understand. He backed up his training philosophy with stories of his personal experiences. He has the same passion as a clinician as he has in both his competition and coaching careers.
Mike Mulroony Distance Chairman Wisconsin Track Coaches Association referring to the WCA's clinic, attended by 1,100 coaches, second largest in the country
I attended the Wisconsin Coaches clinic in February and had a wonderful time attending your sessions. I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to run stronger as well as coach my athletes in a more productive manner. I have been using some of your workouts in practice and I have seen some great results out of my athletes. Applying your methods have made my coaching so much stronger. I look to have several Illinois State meet qualifiers in the 3200 meters, one boy and two girls.
I also have dropped times like crazy using the methods you taught at the clinic. I have been applying them to marathon training. Using the fresh and good method have helped my workouts tremendously. With a 2:21 20 mile today, I?m hoping to be right around 2:45 in Boston in a few weeks.
...Thanks of for all of your help and your willingness to share your coaching methods.
