As many of you know Mike Young took the fitness coach position with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. When I heard the news I was stunned, and immediately wondered how the staff would gel and how the culture would change. It’s not so much a track coach took over as Mike has demonstrated success with sports besides athletics. I wanted to wish Mike a congrats as he has put in his time and has had enough success to earn the position based on merits, not just who he knows. With the data on soccer goals being very vertical in nature with linear speed, who knows what happens in a few years with a hint of velocity.Will we see marathon endurance and explosive headers, rising above? I think with enough time and compliance we will see some changes.
