Jos Hermans is an athletes manager who gets it. Keep the pressure off your athletes. Always keep expectations way down, and let them over deliver.


When Kenenisa Bekele held off Mo Farah at the BUPA Great North Run last September, he revitalized his career. His training has gone well and he will race in Paris on Sunday in his debut marathon. 

Watch for another piece on Kenenisa later tonight or first thing tomorrow.

May I say that @spectrum's internet service sucks? I just love speaking with the robotic voice on #Spectrum. I am thinking of just bringing an old router up from the basement. More reliable. First ...router ever, from #Flickr.
