Today I became aware that Charlie Francis died, on the 12th of this month 2010, from a battle with cancer. His contriversal coaching methods spit in the face of traditional track and field paradigm models. I was a huge fan of his attitude of rest and recovery which can be applied across the board both in training and life.
Less is better…….
I will truly miss this pioneer of the athletic world, my condolences to his family.
R.I.P. Charlie
P.S.
SPEED TRAP BY CHARLIE FRANCIS a must read!
