Encourage Kids To Enjoy Running

My Most Frequent Admonition To Athletes And Coaches Is: Train, Do Not Strain.

No One Will Burn Out Doing Aerobic Running. It Is Too Much Anaerobic Running, Which The American Scholastic Athletic System Tends To Put Young Athletes Through, That Burns Them Out.

There Are Champions Everywhere. Every Street's Got Them. All We Need To Do Is Train Them Properly.

I Get More Gratification Out Of Getting Some Obese Person Who Had A Heart Attack Running Around And Enjoying Life Within A Year. I Get More Gratification From That Than Putting A Person In The Olympic Games. The Olympic Athlete Probably Doesn't Appreciate What You've Done, But The Other Guy Does. I Think It's Really Rewarding.

Athletes Need To Enjoy Their Training. They Don't Enjoy Going Down To The Track With A Coach Making Them Do Repetitions Until They're Exhausted. From Enjoyment Comes The Will To Win.
