    Coach Waldron could design solid training programs and occasionally help his runners achieve great results. Unfortunately, this was overshadowed by his treatment of runners - he used fear and shame as motivational techniques, sometimes amounting to psychological abuse. I’d not recommend graduating seniors submitting themselves to his coaching.

    Very inspirational in and athletes that he doesn't even coach in that specific event, he still gives people credit when it's desecred and criticism when something should be fixed.

    Coach Waldron is a knowledgeable coach who loves track. He trains his runners hard but sometimes has unfeasible expectations. His criteria for leadership is often unfounded. He can shame runners if they are not meeting his expectations and uses fear to motivate.

    Pretty small staff, but does well with the staff he has. Athletes know expectations, but is very intense about reprocussions of meeting or missing goals

    Great coach, lots of fun if you are doing what you are supposed to do. Doesn't do drama which is great.

    Coach Waldron's wisdom supersedes his youth - an unusual skill that has produced several successful runners. Nonetheless, he can have unfair expectations and use fear as a motivational technique. Work hard, treat him with respect, and be smart during races and you will have his respect.

    He is very fair in terms of running a meritocracy. You have to earn your spot for him. Overall, he is a good coach. He sometimes expects results that aren't either feasible or fair to other athletes.

    Waldron is the GOAT!!!!! Seriously, if you want to get better, you have to run for Renny Waldron. The only con is that he's obsessed with the Patriots.
