I’ve been needing this episode badly
My head coach is the worst communicator I’ve ever encountered in my life
@@Mr._Rebornyeah my own dad
Thanks Nick in track right now I have a coach that doesn’t have any knowledge on mid distance running so this helped alot
Imagine having Nick as your coach, that would be awesome!
I look back at my track days 10 years ago and wish someone would have talked to me about year round training. Our HS teams were more like social club runs with no real focus.
I always get a little surprised when I'm reminded that some people have bad coaches. My highschool coach was one of the all-time greats and has coached numerous State Champions, both team and individuals, as well as multiple podium finishes at nationals. Now I'm in college and my coach is incredible. If he was coaching somewhere that supported us more, he could really be one of the best coaches in the country.
I used to have multiple seasons where the coaches were really easy, we had one workout and 4 days of easy milage in a week. Me and couple of friends ended up skipping practice just to do a workout at another track in my town. Unsurprisingly, we are now the fastest kids on the team.
You will burn out. You need all the easy mileage as recovery any more than 3 sessions a week will lead to burning and injury u will be good for a little bit but you will stop improving or get injured. Stick with your coach he knows what he's doing.
I had a terrible coach in middle school. We had coaches who normally coached sprinting and took that same philosophy into distance running. We had about 5 workouts per week and only "1" endurance day per week. During these workouts, we had an extreme amount of rest(normally 5-20 minutes). I hope that does not happen again!
My cross country coach mentally abuses me and cuts me down every chance you get and it’s only me and my school won’t do anything about it
My Dad used to do 4 track sessions plus two tempo runs every week and wanted me to do the same but I refused.
thats exactly what we do
I wouldn't recommend training this way as it leads to burnout and injury. My Dad's running career was ended by injury at 21.
Way too much high intensity
I have a good coach, he just doesn’t believe in me. He doesn’t give me feedback anymore😭
Congrats Nick. You are doing an amazing job.
I thought you'll talk about bad training 😂
Hi Nick. Just thought I'd share my two cents; I almost joined track/CC my freshman year, but didn't think running was something you "learned"; just figured you run and gain fitness.
As a mid-30s runner, who discovered running, I've found amazing resources online (as you mentioned).
Funny Tangental sorry, I used to play guitar. One time I was shopping for a new setup, and asked when I'd "outgrow" the guitar. The sale rep looked at me like I was stupid, on account of the stupid question.
But, was more a reflection of where I was at. Rather than focusing on the gear I had, and making my technique work with some hardware I was lucky to have, and expanding my own library of drills/techniques, I saw myself as "above" starter gear.
For me, the learning curve was being able to take advice from other people.
I am now 31. I still generally do not take advice from other people. That's MY BAD.
Anyways. I have got some mango RG waiting for a long run. Ha. like 3-5K. Such is life.
I have quite the bad coaching story from 9th grade, would take half a page to write though.
Go on
Go for it we're listening👂
You there?
@@pjswag2118 I liked hiking and running, joined the 9th grade Cross Country team. The season's 1st race was unlike anything I'd ever quite experienced with multiple schools, the competition in the air, the adrenaline I was feeling. A week later when the 2nd race was going to occur, instead of showing up and racing I hid in the library because I was afraid (nervousness, adrenaline, new to racing) with another teammate. Next day when I showed up to practice, the coach was upset with me and my teammate, and I got sent to the other coaches for a yelling session. The Basketball, Football, Weight Training, and Swimming coaches each took their turn yelling at me for being a quitter (except the W.T. coach who barely said anything). I tried to explain and say I didn't necessarily want to quit and was just scared so ditched however they yelled me into submission saying it was the same thing. After a prolonged yelling session about not quitting, they then force-quit me by kicking me off the team. It's like, how about ACCURATELY address the situation and just give me a quick motivational speech about facing my fears and say "You want to stay on the team? If you promise you'll show up to next week's race, you can stay on the team." Both me and my teammate got kicked off the team, however there were ONLY 3 people on the team including us, so they threw off 67% of the team which did not help the "team" which was subsequently just one lone soldier after that.
Interestingly the Weight Training coach who did not join in on the extreme reaction ended up being my Track & Field Coach in the Spring and did a very good job, and for the City Meet I was trained and tapered well and ran a HALF MINUTE pr of 11:37 in the 3200 meters taking 7th in City (top 8 got ribbons). Wearing racing shoes for the 1st time ever also contributed.
@@randallanimal I hear your side of the story and I'm here to affirm it. Those coaches had no right yelling at you like that. You didn't deserve that and I'm so sorry you were robbed of a great XC season. I'm glad the other coach was nice and all though. What a nightmare man!
Wondering how you can give the advice If you’re not a coach or haven’t been in the role ?
How to get back to running after around 1 year break?
build up the mileage gradually and slowly
Coaches are a dime a dozen. You only need a coach if you are sure you are going to be the next Nick Symmonds.
No thats really not true even if u dont wanna be seriuos about running a coach would be really important
My coach says i will never became a fighter but he wants to became enough to defend myself on the streets . is he right or he's trying to demotivate me?
What if he dont like me?
In order to help kids who are going through this, I would recommend another video which I thought brought up some very interesting points in addition to Nick's. I would say it's important to be honest and answer if you're the problem or the coach is. If you've had 5 coaches and got along with 5 and the 6th doesn't like you, then it's probably the coach but not always. For a travel team, the 2 choices are leave or stay - I think in the development age, you have to leave as you'll screw up your development. That's clearly not a choice for high school so you'll have to find an alternate solution and perhaps getting a private coach or working with a group of players together might be a way to get around that. You also need to talk to the coach, make sure that it's not just a miscommunication. Once they get to know you better, they may like you and you may like them.

I went to the Ninja Warrior trial and it was gymnastics, worst coach ever
Cool! I also make running videos!
Does your high school coach know Kyle Shanahan?
I hate when people don’t put their mask over their nose. Not because covid. But because it looks weird
Just following Mathew Boling in his freshman year in college at Georgia, you can really see how the system is flawed and how they don’t have his best interest at heart. He runs the risk of being burnt out young.
The mask should cover your nose
