Coached State Meet Finalists and School Record Setters.
One of my favorite success stories was coaching a 100 and 200 meter sprinter to a school record in both. His sophomore year he ran the 100 in 12.1 seconds and the 200 in 24 seconds. I arrived his Junior year and when he was a senior he was a state finalist in both events and broke the school records 5 times, ending with 10.83s and 22.29s respectively. Obviously his hard work was the biggest reason, but I would like to think I helped lead him there.
I basically practice what I preach...
