What is a coach anyway?

That’s a huge issue. Every coach should be very interested in how their athletes are doing in the events they are training them for and ALL good coaches are. Of course, race recaps are a fundamental coaching tool. But some sort of detailed “how’d it go?” conversation should just happen on a human interaction level, long before you even get to actual coaching. Who wants to work with, and pay, someone who can’t even fake some interest in the joint work product?
