Recently Athletics Kenya invited coaches to brainstorm and strategise how to improve the country’s medal hunt at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary in two months’ time.

Only coaches who have athletes who are probables for the Championships were invited to the event held a week ago.

About 30 coaches attended the meeting but curiously tacticians considered to be ‘super coaches’ in the country were conspicuously absent.

The ‘super coaches’ normally have a bigger say in the national team to almost all World Cross Country Championships, World Championships and even Olympic Games.

“The meeting showed the ‘super coaches’ don’t produce athletes and I hope AK took note,” said a North Rift coach who attended the meeting but did not want to be quoted.

The meeting was convened by AK senior vice president Paul Mutwii and attended by Director of Youth Development at the Federation, Barnabas Korir.

One of the agendas of the meeting was how the country can reclaim 3000 metres steeplechase, 5000 metres and 10,000 metres at the World Championships.
