I think Coach Campbell is a great coach to work with. Honestly, I’ve only seen overtraining happen due to athlete controlled factors such as lifting outside of recommended days/times as well as athlete nutrition. I took a star off motivation because specifically at the collegiate level, motivation increasingly must be intrinsic from an athlete. It’s not up to a coach to tell an athlete to do secondaries outside of practice. That being said he does encourage them. I think that that last point can become contentious between athlete and coach. Coach Campbell will not mince words if you have not improved the expected amount between seasons or tests. I think frustration stems from the athlete because perhaps they have issues with the training plan and them not improving as much as they would wish. If this happens, how can there be overtraining? However, Coach Campbell will more frequently than not be willing to sit down and talk in an effort to improve the team as a whole. No coach is perfect, but I think Coach Campbell does the best with the resources at hand. Side note, if an athlete is not with family over Easter break, he will offer to host them at his house and treat them to a meal.
