Is it because she's battering carmelita your 'cheater'. MRSJ-F looks more feminine anyday to her. I don't see muscles bulging everywhere on Laverne, instead i see a well toned female athlete who will be giving carmelita cheater a whole lot of ass whopping this season.

Veronica just changed her coach, so obviously there was not much loyalty or "belief in ability" there. Are we still in the land of the free? I could've sworn that I am allowed to express an opinion. IN MY OPINION, it was a bad move, and if she indeed wanted an improvement/change in coaches, two of the world's top sprint coaches are Francis and Mills, she could take a leaf out of Ohuruogu's, Williamson's and Mason's book, and train with one of them (part time if need be) and not with a coach that is below their caliber. And quite frankly, unless either Kerron or VCB reside in Florida or Texas, the winter in the states can be horrendous. Using "England is cold" is not a valid argument, and rather ridiculous when you considered the amount and severity of snowstorms we just had. Is there some rule which states sprinters who train in the US can't find warmer places to train in the winter time? Why would a little winter time nudge in training in Jamaica be acceptable to other international coaches but not to American coaches? Perhaps that should be the real question. And just so you can get your facts right. Mason is NOT from England. He is Jamaican. You chooses to train in jamaica and compete for GB, but in no way is his success based on anything England gave to him. Mason left Francis for 2 years because he thought he deserved more individual attention. Well, he got a wake up call and went back and got his silver in the Olympics. That's what athletes do. If they think that they can get better help or improve more under another coach, they go there. If they don't, they go back. Kerron is currently one of the best female sprinters on the planet. Her only really weak area is her start. It so happens that 2 of the best starters in the world (Asafa and Shelly Ann) train under the same coach, Stephen Francis. IN MY OPINION, it would behoove her to learn how to start better from him since her coach obviously isn't doing it for her. Perhaps you are not kept abreast of what goes on.

So Stacy, expecting Veronica or Kerron to even consider your suggestion is akin to the changing of the coach by them. In life, nothing is as simplistic as thought.

That if Francis ever got a hold of her, she would be a force to be reckoned with. Does anyone know where she trains and with whom? I think the same thing about Kerron. Most of Kerron's problems are with her start. If that girl could learn to start like Asafa or Shelly Ann, noone could stop her. And I really want to see her get an individual gold medal at the next championship event. So many international athletes train part-time in Jamaica (usually in the winter) and then go back to their coaches. If Christine Ohuruogu and Jermaine Mason can do that, why can't our athletes (i.e. Veronica and Kerron) do that as well. They both have the talent and the ability, they just need a little extra nudge. Tony, I was thinking the same thing. That if Francis ever got a hold of her, she would be a force to be reckoned with.
