Upper Left Performance #32 Ryan Banta - All Things Sprinting, Learning to Spread the Wealth on a Track Team, Critical Mass and Human Development

Ryan Banta is the Head Track and Field Coach for Parkway Central High School in Missouri. He has coached for over 20 years, brought home numerous state titles and records and has established an incredible culture that has succeeded in developing outstanding human beings and athletes.

Ryan is also the author of The Sprinter’s Compendium and established the Critical Mass system, which we discuss on the podcast. For someone that has thought about sprint training strictly in a "Feed the Cats" style, this was very enlightening. More on this in this video here from Ryan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_V84iC_iL4

He also gives his thoughts on all things sprinting, his realization that he wants excellence in all events not just sprints, wickets, warmups and his thoughts on kids in today’s world and how to best reach them. I was thrilled to talk to Ryan about all this as he has so much experience working with kids and honing his craft. Not many coaches are as complete as Ryan is and it was very cool to hear him address such a wide range of topics.

Ryan writes for Simplifaster, Elite Track, and several other mediums. You can buy his book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07613VRVF/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
