The part that caught my attention the most was the part about the two coaches. One coach has a laissez-faire style of coaching while the second coach made sure that the students ran the laps they were supposed to run.
I have had both of these types of coaches. In high school my cross-country coach let the team get away with not running or running fewer miles than we needed to run in order to be ready for races. Now in college the cross-country coach makes sure that everyone runs the miles needed. The way the new coach trains us is that if an athlete does not run during practice than he does not run in the races. I really like this way of teaching because it promotes the idea that someone must work hard to succeed which is what I believe.

Great QR. How interesting that you personally have had both types of coaches as well. 5/5
PS "they were suppose to run" should be "supposed to run."
