It's not that hard to separate running because you screwed up and running for relaxation or for training.
Then you you are the exception. If you've coached you know that this is pretty uncommon.
I don't think it's the exception at all. In 16 years of playing sports and over 20 years of coaching over 1,000 kids from 10 to 18 over 5 different sports I've never seen one, not one player that went from liking running to hating running because of punishment running. I've seen ones that hate running period but never one that converted. It's a BS illogical argument used by those opposed to it period. Now that doesn't mean every coach should do it. If a coach doesn't understand it it will be a waste of time.
Ok. BS Illogical argument. Sorry I don't understand it. Thanks.
