Sasha's son is amazing!

If you don't know it yet, but Sasha has a large clan of fast runners. All of his kids run far faster than most adults. They are all high achievers in many regards. I had the pleasure of working with his oldest son Benjamin on a project a couple years ago. Benjamin is a genius. He got into BYU as a young teen, and at 13 or 14 years old he was able to code an online race registration platform. That may sound basic, but believe me it is far more complicated than it sounds. Sasha has very specific ideas on how to run, on how to raise children, and probably most things in life. Though he often thinks there is a very specific way everything should be done, he is often proven right with the results. I am amazed at the running ability, and the intelligence level of his children. He works hard with each of them, but he also expects them to figure things out. He doesn't do the work for his kids. He guides them. Sort of the "teach a man how to fish" ideology. I personally have had the pleasure of running with Sasha a few times, and he has taught me many things from those opportunities I have had with him. I suppose my point in this post is that even if some of Sasha's recommendations don't sound like something you want to do you might want to just look at the results he produces with his strategies.
