I am so sorry to hear about Chad’s departure from TR. :cry: I admire him as an athlete, coach ,deep dives into complex studies, and his sense of humour. I will miss him on here, and feel disappointed that TR just made a very brief announcement about his departure. There was no mention of all the hard work and dedication he gave to TR, to us, the coachees, and the fact that he was a valued team member who helped bring TR the success it has today. It would be good to see some gratitude shown (by TR) for his contribution. Meanwhile, I say goodbye ,thankyou, and all the best for your future happiness and fulfilment, Chad

Or he assaulted another employee. plenty of reasons you can make up…

[image] Pbase: Do you honestly think ANY of those things would have led to the CEO doing an emergency plug in to the beginning of a podcast saying what he did? I would be surprised if any of those things ended up being the truth. Of course, I would not be MORE surprised than Chad being abruptly dumped from the company and podcast. Anything is possible. As the sequence of events we’re arguing over has already clearly shown.

Sorry, I’m not following you. Can you clarify?

Sure. I’m just making the point that the unexpected happens routinely. Case in point - Chad leaving trainerroad abruptly. I dont think anyone would have bet money before it happened that that was the most likely thing to happen, yet it did anyway. I think it’s rational to apply the same logic to the reasoning behind the breakup. Just because something is unlikely does not mean it is impossible. And there infinitely more unlikely scenarios than the one, single, most likely scenario. Maybe the reason was something mundane. Maybe it was something weird. Nobody except Chad, the decision makers at trainerroad, and the people they have told have anything more than a guess.

I thought he got a job with Sufferfest? That’s a no brainer that he couldn’t stay with TR…

In that case Nate would have announced the departure in a different way. He would have thanked Chad for the contribution over the XX years and wished him good luck. Or not mentioned it at all.

Or not mentioned it at all Well maybe it does have a sinister explanation, I’d just like to understand. I feel like I knew the guy!

It‘s totally obvious what happened here! Chad went out and beat Nate in a TT,… and Nate took that personally! Now that everyone‘s curiosity is satisfied can we please respect Coach Chad‘s wishes and let things rest? We owe him this much for what he has contributed in our lives…. [IMG_2624]
