Count Count coached me when I was in undergrad at AU and TBH he isn't that great of a coach in general as much as he is a good person. It's a well known thing on the team amongst the athletes and alum that even though he has conference champions and like two NCAA qualifiers (only 2 out of the long time he's been there. One was like recent after years from his first one) the athletes that do well only are that way because they came into the school good then their 2nd year they do bad and get worse and get hurt. If you jump with him you are bound to get hurt. He hasn't really made anyone good if that makes sense. But like he is very motivational and has a great personality but he doesn't really know how to coach in depth. He is extremely old school which does not work because I would burn out from the endless hills over the summer to the point where I was shot after preseason. Then I started to regress and was getting hurt too many times, I ended up just opting not to finish out my eligibility. I also was going to try and switch to Hj because of injuries but saw he CANNOT coach high jump. I'm not trying to be mean but in all honesty he is a terrible high jump coach He is also very petty and will hold grudges. one of my teammates even stopped working with him and ironically when he left Count he ended up winning two conference titles and two school records with the other coach and then they refused to let any of us work with the other coach it was funny. But a lot of the jumpers I came in with him ended up leaving the team and opting not to finish their eligibility because of him. I don't know how he is now because I graduated a few seasons ago but I just found this site and thought I would share my experience. But above anything I will say if you are considering Adelphi as a jumper (he wasn't the sprint or hurdles coach when I was there. I think he still is only the jumps coach) look at other options before committing. Count is a good person but you really wont excel under him. Like you will laugh and stuff and he brings food to meets but if you are serious about wanting to do well and improve, I would look elsewhere. He also for some reason barely takes the jumpers to the pit. We always had to jump in the half court even when there was a track around the corner and because of that I would always foul in meets.
