Ready Set Go

The last 365 of the ban also came with my firstborn Jace. I had to make the hardest decision to leave my son behind and follow my dream of returning to track and field. Working with legendary Coach Brooks Johnson, his passion drove me to work harder. The return wasn’t easy, no contract and Usain Bolt showing up on the scene. Remember that success comes with a level of sacrifice!

Welcome back to Ready Set Go! Do you remember the different clothes you were rocking when you first started in track because we really wore some crazy outfits.

Also, what are some of the top red flags you should look for with coaches and have you seen those internet coaches that seem to think they know everything? The sport is changing so coaches really need to be changing too to stay with the times.

You already know I have my guy Will Collins back for this one. First off, people are definitely sleeping on how difficult the relay actually is. Think about having to trust someone that you are constantly competing against throughout the year! What is needed to be a good relay team and why has the USA struggled? On this episode, we also take a look at some of the best rivalries we have seen in Track and what they have brought to the sport. Here’s a question for you all, why does it feel like Michael Johnson has beef with everyone?

What are some good and bad experiences I’ve had with coaches and what are some coaching styles that we believe are effective? Some Coaches really put it all on the line for their athletes and the job just isn’t easy.

I’m joined by Track coaches Will Collins and Greg Brown. You already know Will from the last episode so let’s start this one off by hearing Greg’s background and what got him into coaching. These two guys love fashion so let’s break down some of the best uniforms we’ve seen athletes compete in and talk about how fashion is the perfect way for athletes to express themselves on and off the track.   It’s great to see the sponsorship game in track is changing as we are seeing athletes not just being sponsored by the likes of Nike, Adidas and Puma but by major designer brands who are making an increased investment into the space. Also, when it comes to the competition itself, is there a better way to honor some of the greatest athletes?

If you are a fan of Track and Field you probably know Gary Evans. Gary is a legend when it comes to coaching and he has worked with some of the top track athletes in the world.
