Not sure why it's that different from private music lessons vs group lessons. My kid runs track. There are about 80-100 kids on the team depending on the season. So not a lot of personal attention. A private coach on form/strategy would be useful. [/quote]

Perhaps.  But coaches are typically pretty good at recognizing the ones with talent and giving them attention.  Even with our hs's track team of over 150, the coaches can tell you who has potential.  They may miss some kids who have a deep desire, but these kids too will typically make themselves known over time.   TBH, if you feel your kid can't do it without their own running coach, they don't have it.   I say this as someone who ran in college myself and knows several kids who are elite runners. [/quote]

PP here - actually my DC has been recruited to run in college and has been to the state championships several times now so at least has some of it.  But that doesn't mean she still couldn't use some help to continue to improve.  The coach simply doesn't have the time to work with the kids individually.  As you must know at this level it comes down to seconds/fractions of seconds so it's the small things that make a difference. [/quote]
