Are you coaching #sprintrevolution or #distancerevolution?
The best ‘physical’ performance needs a respect for both! It’s never just 1 or the other 🙄
It’s the correct balance of both for the individual athlete
Not to forgot coaching the technical, tactical & psychological! – at Quorn, England

In 1981, Marianne Bachmeier shot the murderer of her 7-year-old daughter. Klaus Grabowski, a 35-year-old butcher who had already sexually assaulted 2 girls previously.
Bachmeier pulled out a Beretta during his trial nd emptied 7 bullets into Grabowski's body, killing him instantly.
Marianne was sentenced for murder to 6 years in prison, of which she served 3 and was released for good behavior.
