Easy treadmill run. Thought a lot about changing my general coaching philosophy to one that makes the runners I coach more comfortable and me less stressed out.

Would that mean more or less pokemon at practice?

It seems to have died off already. Before we left for vacation, Wheeler Farm was packed with people walking around in the mornings. Now its just me and the farm animals again.

I can't tell if this is a radical shift in coaching philosophy or if it's like when my father just showed cartoons in class.

How would your philosophy change? I'm curious about specifics. Do you expect similar results, or is that the wildcard?
