My track coach in college never ran anything farther than 200 meters
when he was running - but he sure the heck managed to produce some very
good middle distance and distance runners. As far myself I take in
what everyone says - mix it together use what makes sense and file the
rest away in a corner of the brain. It may be useful some day. The
person who was the biggest help to me getting ready for my first 100
was a family friend and trainer who was an eventer. Some of her advice
turned out to be right on.
In athletics, many times the people with the best aptitude to teach
don't have the physical ability or the luck to have been at the top
of > the sport. But that doesn't diminish their abilities as a coach,
Ahh, but what if they'd never watched an entire game, only heard about
them, interviewed the players and looked them over afterwards? If they're
observant they may have some good advice (for instance, what Jaye Perry
tells me about my shoe wear) but there's a lot they never see or hear
about.
