Good Resources for Coaches

As a coach develops he needs to find places to learn and challenge his training philosophies to turn him into the best coach he can be for his athletes.  I have come across some of the best coaches in the sport through their websites and I want to share them with you so hopefully you can learn something from them as well.  These athletes have endless hours of knowledge for you to enjoy.

1) http://www.scienceofrunning.com/ - Steve Magness, a 4:01 miler in high school and former coach with Nike offers insight into coaching runners with science and reason

2) http://www.sportsscientists.com/ - Another website based on science, two physiologists study performance and training and modern sport.

3) http://www.elitetrack.com/ - This website is a series of blogs that deal with sports training in general, although there is a focus on track and field in many of the posts.

4) http://sacspeed.com - Boo Schexnayder's website for his company SACSpeed.  He is a track and field coach of the highest quality and may be the smartest man in the sport.

5) http://www.athletesacceleration.com/ - This website has access to a lot of coaching material and practical coaching advice.
