A good guy who makes the team fun, but there are a lot of areas that could improve.

Intentions were always good, but execution and communication was lacking in my experience.

He is a nice individual, but can improve on being a better coach. He can be more straightforward with all of the athletes as well as train each athlete based on their individual strengths and weaknesses instead of lumping together athletes in a single event group. Additionally, it would help the athletes more if he was better with communication.

Valmon is a great motivational speaker but when it comes to training athletes it's subpar. For sprinters to succeed under his program you have to come in super talented. He plays favorite and forgets about others needs. Most of MD's success come from the Field Coaches. This past year, only field event athletes made it to NCAA. Says enough.

Coach Valmon is a good coach on paper, but his actions do not always meet his promises. Often, he plays mind games with athletes and creates unnecessary ambiguity in communication. He has clear favorites, which creates division within the team.
