No Universal Technique.
Besides, one technique does not suit
everybody. A short sprinter and u

difference between them. but stu we
find that coaches who are poor In
practice can develop f1rst-class ath'

This Is because 1t is not directly
his technical knowledge which makes
good coach. 1t is psychological
knowledge. An athlete must see his
master in his coach. Tho coach must
obtain certain power over the

he knows the man will do exactly as
he is told. At the same time he must
become his friend, talk about technical
results with him and increase the in

In other words, the coach must In
spire his man. Having a coach who
imposes training hours also makes
for much more regular training than
the athlete would observe by himself.
Only One Coach in Norway.
Here in America It is easy for an
athlete to get coaching because ali
the clubs are rich enough to have
one, and the same is true Of the
colleges. But conditions are entirely
different in Europe, and especially in
Scandinavia, where there is scarcely
O club which has coach. The uni
versities are still worse; the professors
think athletics make poor students
and they work against athletics.
The coaches are employed by the
athletic unions, and in all Norway
there Is only one coach at present.
Under these conditions it Is, of course,
hard for a beginner to get any help.
II is about as hard for novice TO
win attention there as it is for an
