Learn how to coach (and keep learning)
I knew a few things about training, but didn’t really understand how to Coach.
Tried to surrounded myself with people that were better coaches (Eric Selle)
Talk with as many successful coaches as you can
Read everything you can get your hands on

Develop a TEAM culture of success and have fun!
Have things that are unique to your program that kids identify with
Social is more important than running
Once they know running is cool, challenge them physically and mentally
Get every kid on the same page, not just your varsity

Be Patient“In the sport of distance running their are no short cuts to success”
Patience and persistence pays off
