" Barring injury or illness,in order to be disappointed with a performance, it is something that must be earned through intelligent, consistent & long term focussed training".
" When the weather is poor or motivation is lacking, think back to a disappointment, then forward to a goal, and ask yourself, 'what is my competition doing RIGHT NOW?'

Sue (Boley) Tripp: Athlete / ART teacher / Mom / Coach
I started running in Wallaceburg when I was about 13 years old and joined the Chatham Legion Track Club under Bill Weaver when I got to high school. LOVED IT!!! I did not have "natural talent" to be a middle distance runner but worked VERY HARD. These are the old years, before Regionals were invented
so I only made it to OFSAA in my last year of high school.
Next, I competed at the University of Western Ontario in both track and cross-country , and all the hard work really paid off. Following graduation, I helped coach both high school and club athletes in KItchener with the K-W club (Brent McFarlane) for about 4-5 years.
We moved to Carrying Place , I had two kids, and then started coaching at Trenton High School (THS ) and with the Quinte Legion Track Club under Bruce Faulds. I coached there for a decade or so, took a break from the club, but continued to coach at THS.
Then Duncan Armstrong and I started the Trenton Track Club around 2011- 2014 , but when it folded, I rejoined the Quinte Legion club and have been there ever since. I continued with the high school athletes all this time until 4 years after retirement .
NOW I am only coaching with QLLTFC and it is a pleasure!
I guess, when you add it all up, I have been a coach for over 30 years!
I have decent experience coaching sprints and jumps, very basic experience in throws and hurdles, and great experience with middle distance.
