My good friend coach Babb ( former head coach of the senior Barbados netball team) has a history of producing many talented athletes,most of them sprinters and sprint hurdlers. He has never appealed to corporate Barbados for a treadmill ( let alone TWO) to assist in his preparation.

In his brief but successful stint as netball coach, he again demonstrated his coaching prowess and was able to get the slowest or least athletic inclined to run,sprint,dash,bolt ( speed) as fast as any netballer should. Never was a treadmill used in his preparation for the 2010 Commonwealth Games or the 2011 World Championships.

With the upcoming edition of these competitions approaching, the person given ( pun intended) the mandate of preparing the national team is appealing to corporate Barbados for TWO treadmills to assist her with speed development.

In his facebook post, Coach Babb gave several ideas on how speed is developed but I am not sure the intended target audience given any ability to read will understand what he means.

We grew up hearing that reading is fundamental but were never told that  COMMONSENSE doesn't come with a MANUAL...treadmills do!
