Always amazed to see how journalists can produce one sided articles in complete impunity.

High performance sport is a very competitive sport (214 member federations in athletics). As a TD, head coach or national coach, you will never satisfied everyone.

It would have been nice to read the opinions of some medalists like Femke Bol, @leemarvin44 , Anouk Vetter, Emma Oosterwegel, Sifan Hassan or Nadine Visser for example. And from some outsiders like @LeaSprunger or @ajletta who got a great support from Charles van Commenee.
What I would have personally answered to these 2 journalists about my professional relationship with Charles:

- challenging
- inspiring
- supportive
- confronting

Even after 30 years as a coach I could learn a lot from Charles and could step up my game again.
And I know I will always find him to challenge me by my next uncertainties or to confront our views on some strategical or technical aspects.

In the meantime we keep preparing athletes for the big stage without to forget they are humans.
