āAnd here is what made Seme an excellent coach. He knew I had been coaching myself. He first wanted to understand what I had been doing, mostly on my own, to bring me to the point where he would notice me. And I told him. I was doing the things Iād seen athletes at bigger schools with actual tracks do. I told him I would run by myself when I wasnāt taking care of my family home. I remember Seme nodded and then just added to the foundation Iād laid for myself. He found my running form to be too loose, he felt I swung my arms too much and held my head too far back. He would eventually help me get to the form that made me a winnerāarms locked in close to my body, chest high, head centered. Seme was a coach who understood where you were. This is why, despite everything that came between us in the future, I will always say he is the best coach Iāve ever had. He became like a father to me. Seme knew when to push and when we needed to rest.
