On passe sur son passé trouble ... Mais sur l'idée qu'il veut mettre en place ...

Moi je retiens ça de l'article TrimesLooking for clues
3rd November 2013
A lot of interest has been generated from my resignation from team tbb, many questions are being asked as its now obvious that teamtbb didnt feel my direction was the right one for them.
So what made my decision to leave was the banning of a big tweet before kona by staff and management, even though i own half the team.
However dated it may seem, its published below, so one can see, that all i said would take place did.
Its the very reason the sport needs something or some one to provide a different model to give choice to the triathlon public but also the public that swim ride and run for its health benefits.
I believed teamtbb was perfectly placed to offer that option and to make the difference.
I still believe the tri fraternity needs an alternative so i'm going to continue to try and make that happen.
I believe the best way foreward is from the begiining .
From here we will work together to provide an alternative that benefits all who participate in the sport.
Here is the document.
Lets build from here.
The Doc
Kona
The Doc, October 2013
As i said in my tweet, it would seem that the boredom of being on Kona as some have been for quite a few weeks, sets off any topic, to be the next hot item, to be spread like peanut butter over toast.
It would seem the hot topic once again is me.
That bad ole authoritarian coach, won't talk to his athletes about 2014 before the biggest race of their lives. Wow what a despot!
So very true.
Why?
It should be obvious to all, their 100% concentration should be on preparing themselves mentally and physically to produce their very best effort on the day .
It would seem to me, that i have a little bit of experience of success in this area.
Anyone, and i mean anyone that has a good race in kona wether they have a contract or not for 2014 will be approached not only by a myriad of sponsors but that wondrous of creatures, the manager, who can pull rabbits out of a hat at a single sitting.
We at teamtbb much to the disgust of our team manager, don't have contracts, because if you work with the doc, i want to make sure that all who work with me have no hand cuffs in any financial form.
Thus rather all the cards are with the athletes, they perform and they can do and take what ever and who ever they like, thats the way i like it, thats the way i do it. That is the way it is.
What better incentive for my guys to go out there and show their true worth on the big stage, it will never be said while our sport has such embarrassing financial rewards that Brett Sutton, stood in the way of one of his athletes making their financial dreams come true .
One can look at both Reinaldo Colucci and Nicola Spirig who both before olympics had made other arrangements with my and teamtbb blessing. What we don't do is, 'this is best for me and second best for the athlete'.
The second point, i have been saying now for 6 months, that i am going to try one last time to change the sport and will use the restructuring of teamtbb to be the vehicle for that.
How many tweets have we had on this?? My friends it's in the thousands as people talked about it.
So what?
All think i was kidding? Sutto is bluffing? Our pro team members were not aware of their coaches personality???
I might be many things but if i say 'i do', most of my worst enemies at least concede that.
In 2014 teamtbb will change dramatically and the teamtbb as it was known as only a pro team will be gone, gone, gone. Replaced with a vehicle that will allow age groupers to join the team, develop races as they should be with partners who are not looking for a quick buck, have a thriving social project, as you can see being developed right now in Cozumel Mexico. As i write I'm overseeing 50 kids on the run track, all striving, not the be the fastest but to overcome the difficulties our new screwed up societies are placing on them.
Then there will be a pro part of it.
But there in lies the catch
A PART OF IT
teamtbb will no longer just be a pro team.
If we fail in 2014 to start a movement of people who want to use triathlon to improve their health, to improve their relationships of their family, to bring the races back, the fun, with the goal to be
COMPETE TO COMPLETE
to support age groupers with their own money, to control a little bit of their own sport, to give back to the education of youth not just underprivileged but privileged too,who in my view have even more hideous society problems, we don't discriminate here. Problems with any kids is a problem to be educated against that is what teamtbb will stand for.
or
i promise i will shut it down, like every other team that has come and gone, but i will do it not on the whim of a sponsor who decides he is tired of our sport, i will do it myself knowing full well that the sport is now the play thing of the privileged and the elite so that they can parade down Alii Drive, while thousands of more worthy triathletes sit at home knowing they will never get to kona, because they are discriminated against because of money or speed.
All my athletes have known what I'm about, nobody is under any illusion at teamtbb. Just as those that feel the new path is not for them. Have any kind of persuasion held over them.
So i suppose you could say that their performances will allow them all the freedoms the sport now offers a very few. I have never bought into that, and i will retire before i do.
Best mechanical luck to all who participate on Saturday.
Hope this provides some clarity,
Cheers
The Doc
Alors y arrivera t'il ? pas tout seul ...Les combats que la WTC à mis sous le tapis
- Lutte contre le drafting
- Bourse pour les pros complètement inadaptée ou à peine 5% réussissent à vivre de leur sport.
- Professionnalisation des AG
- De moins en moins accessible à la classe moyenne.
