Letter from the Editor, January 2017
Letter from the Editor, January 2017 Happy New Year readers, and I hope your 2017 is off to a good start.

The Coach as a Source of Confidence Last week I was talking to one of my students as she was studying for my English exam. The student, a sophomore girl named Morgan, is easily one of the best students in the class, as she has earned an A on almost every assignment throughout the semester....
The Joy of Private Coaching
The Joy of Private Coaching About six years ago, when I was coaching for my school team during the school year and with a youth club team in the summer, I traveled to Atlanta to serve as a hurdles coach at a track camp. In talking to another coach, who coached sprinters and quarter-milers, he...
