Doesn't bother me. Just correcting a false misconception. I may point out things when relevant, but things outside of my control don't really ruffle my feathers much.

You have a lot to learn if you’re replying to people on here. Leave it be , it was a post paying tribute. if you need to get your last point or word in then HS coaching is not for you.

This guy is going to have a rough go of it. Get ready for a rocky ride!
I wonder what school(s) will be the beneficiary of the exodus.
Honestly just traveling today and bored. Getting drowsy reading so this seems a bit more entertaining at the moment. I don't post or read that much on here.

Posting on here as the Newbury Park coach is not a smart move first week on the job. You seem to live in here and post often. You need to stop and coach. You have already started off on the wrong foot.

take the advise and move on.
I think he's fine posting here. Plenty of coaches post/lurk here.

Loudoun Valley coaches (Hunters) used to post when that team was good, Soles used to post, and Mostert posts.
so he shouldn't have any free time and should be on coaching call 24/7? Coaching xc/track is basically a volunteer gig dude. Calm down. I like that he's giving us an insight into what's going on.
This post was not well worded. All teams are trying to rebuild following the loss of seniors. It is just an extreme case this year at NP. But the remaining group will probably do pretty well, given the legacy of a strong work ethic and winning culture. In fact, some of the kids might perform better simply because they now have some chance of being a scorer on the varsity team.

Please state what school you coach for. You won't.
Newbury park is a sham and this is proving it lol. Two sets of kids that carry the team. Put them on any team in the country and you’ll get the same result
The Brosnans took a school with little history in xc, and no recent success, to the greatest five year period in any high school xc/distance track history in the United States by far, and they succeeded not only with two sets of brothers, five in all, each of whom will go down as among the best ever--and remember that all high school teams have access to sets of brothers but only this one succeeded at this level with five of them within five years--but also got other kids to 8:44 (Aschbrenner) and many sub-9s. This was not luck. Great coaching is alchemy. It can absolutely turn almost any material into gold. Just look at what Gjert Ingebrigtsen has done. He had three sons who stuck with it and won European titles and one is the best in the world and has run 3:27.95/7:54.12 WR and a world and Olympic gold, despite neither parent being a runner. Then people would say that they were just talented boys. Then he gets dropped as coach for his overbearing nature and he focuses on a middling national-level talent in Norway in Nordas and he gets him to 3:29.47 a year after beginning to focus on him. Coaching really matters at the level of a Brosnan, McDonnell, or Ingebrigtsen. Most other coaches get little out of anyone.
I just saw the post on the newbury park instagram account. Seems like they are calling it quits and not trying to rebuild with the youngs and shalahman gone. I know Sean Brosnan is no longer there but some effort would have been nice. Their program did not seem sustainable but this is just sad
This is not fully correct. That account is Sean Brosnan's account. There is a different account now that will be the official team account for NPHS.
But we don't plan to rebuild. We plan to continue, which will require a lot of hard work after losing such amazing runners on their way to their college careers. But the current runners are deeply committed to continued success at the highest level possible.
Is making NXN one of the goals for the team this year?

Dude, we all know you think Brosnan is the second coming, but he had soooooo much talent show up at that school, some with questionable circumstances. There were several factors that created the NP dynasty.
The luck of having the Young's and Sahlmans at the same time.
Having more than a dozen kids on the roster at any given time that were complete youth studs. It's more than just showing they had talent, but parents who were incredibly supportive as shown by having their kids run youth track.
All that talent pushing each other every day raised the level of the entire team.
Brosnan has good understanding of training and what it takes to be good and was aggressive enough to demand it from this group of talented kids with parents who were invested.
Brosnan was part of the equation for sure, but as he showed at UCLA, he is not anything special with his training. He took some talent, made it better, some stayed the same and some got worse. It's arguable if the team was better after he showed up.

Always. Takes a lot of hard work to get there though. Never easy and never a given.

Hi Floyonthewall. You have caused so much controversy and the season just started. It looks like you’re continuing your old ways of being a hated youth coach and now a HS one. You need to just focus on the kids and stop posting here. Please grow up, no one likes what you’re doing. It extremely embarrassing
