I am currently coaching a 15 year old boy at a school. His Personal Bests this year are:


100m 11.90

200m 23.80

400m 53.87

800m 2m 12s (Just one race)

1500m 4m 45s (Just one race)

Shot Putt 10.50m (4kg)

Discus 33.50m (1kg)


He has taken part in about 7 meets and has not ran a 100m in the last 3 meets and would probably break his PB at the moment. He has had 7 training sessions in total in the discus (going over 35m in training)!


I believe he has potential for the decathlon (right heoght and frame) and would like your opinions on this before contacting a club where he may prepare for multi events.
