Coffee with Larry, Global Athletics & Marketing represents, NB Nationals is here! Runnerspace offers FREE viewing of NB Nationals and Nike Nationals, Herb Douglas, Oldest Olympian is 101!
This is longest Coffee With Larry yet, over 46 minutes. Greetings from Ceasar’s Palace in Las Vegas; I am tired. After two days of interviews, now for a walk in the desert. Enjoy the CWL, and watch for our updates on this crazy weekend of track & field!
This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field!
This is Coffee with Larry, for Friday, March 10, 2023.
1. I am at Ceasar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the Global Athletics & Marketing Media & Business Conference.
1. GAM is one of the most innovative athlete management groups; their yearly (except for the pandemic) opp for media to meet with many of their key athletes is unrivaled in the sport. My question is if a brand or a management group wants to build its brand, why is this not replicated?
4. I forgot to mention #KatieIzzo, an adidas runner who competes for Terrance Mahon and Jen Rhines at #GoldenCoastTrackClub, an adidas sponsored club. I enjoyed our interview, thanks Katie!
5. These two days reinforce, in me, what our sport is all about, and how I am convinced that the lack of story telling, and access to these athletes is a key part in how to improve the sport.
14. Herb Douglas is 101 today, the Oldest living Olympian from 1948 track team! #herbdouglass, #jeffbenjamin,
15. Yesterday was 43rd anniversary of #CraigVirgin’s World XC win in Paris! #Worldcrosscountry, #jeffbenjamin,
16. You can watch NB Nationals and Nike Champs, both on #Runnerspace, FREE! Yet, to see NCAA Indoors live, you have to pay; what gives #ESPN?
17. Aleia Hobbs ran 6.94 for the 60m, her first AR at the USATF Indoor Champs, she was so happy with her first AR and becoming a Mom! So cool to meet #AleiaHobbs, #adidasrunning,
