The Track and Field Toolbox is a free site dedicated to providing resources for track and field as well as cross country coaches. The site is designed with high school coaches in mind, but the tools provided here could be utilized for younger athletes or even college athletes.
Many times coaches of a track and field team are former athletes that excelled at a particular event or events. Maybe they were a sprinter, distance runner or middle distance runner. They might have also been a jumper, thrower, hurdler or vaulter.
Whatever the case a coach can not rely on his or her personal training experience, to provide them with the necessary tools to coach/train all of athletes in the individual disciplines.
