In this week's episode of the Forza Athletics Life and Coaching Podcast I share some thoughts about what happened to me a couple of weeks ago-my first split with a post-collegiate thrower.  It's not a topic I've discussed before because it's the first time I've had a post-collegiate athlete decide they wanted to go in a different direction and hire another coach.  In total, our coach-athlete relationship lasted a total of 8ish weeks.  What I think went wrong, you'll have to listen to find out.

In this episode of the Forza Athletics Life and Coaching Podcast I review some numbers from the 2022 Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships.  The specific numbers I discuss are setting personal bests and what coaches can do to better assist their athletes in setting personal best marks at the national championships.
