There was a specific reason that you did not get any updates via twitter or on email. I decided to keep this trip and its secrets to myself. I had the opportunity to travel to Liege, Belgium and watch a professional meet that featured some of my friends and other elite runners... I got to personally witness Pamala Jemilo run the 5th fasted 600m ever in the history of the sport! . I also had the opportunity to watch one of the Borlee' twins set the national record for 300m at 31.55 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This experience has opened my eyes in ways you could ever imagine.... Barcelona, is up next you know what that means!!!!!!. we are one weeks away from the 2012 World juniotrs.....yella......

Greetings world,
Its your man stamps!!! I hope all is well your way and you are living your life to the fullest! Well i have finally caught up from some much needed rest. Last week Sri Lanka and now Mannheim, Germany until we leave for World Juniors in Barcelona, Spain. Well where should I start?? We had some ups and downs at the Asian Juniors but we did earn some Podium performances and we are very proud of those guys. We had a gold medal in the 400m hurdles, silver in the 4x400m and the 3000m steeple chase, bronze medals in 400m, 100m and shot put. The Gold medal in the 400m hurdles was the first in Saudi Arabian history so needless to say we are all super excited!!! The federation, my staff and managers all made it possible and as his coach this guy is a dream!! A fierce competitor and a very coachable athlete that with lil complaint puts it all out on the table every training session. Sri Lanka as a country is beautiful island even though the local food as good as it was did not agree with the ol coaches internal digestive highway:-):-):-) i have enclosed some pictures of the country as well as some shots of our athletes. We are in our final phase of training in preperation for the world juniors so gotta put the last couple of bails of hay in the barn then the harvest comes july 10th..... I miss you all but am enjoying this experience none the less... A big announcement is in the works i will tell you all very soon! Have a great day and oh yeah...#Heat!!! Yella.....

Hello all,



As my last days in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia came to a close, i took a while to ride around the city and and reflect on this amazing experience. I thought of the new things i got to experience, the friends gained, the new foods tasted and most importantly a up-close and personal experience inside to muslim culture. Which i must add is one of the most beautiful and compassionate i have ever had the chance to experience. To say they are mis-understood would be a gross understatement in its own. Such a humble and loving people, sitting back and seeing them on a daily will be different. But as i always say you dont know someone or something until you experience it for yourself. These next several weeks will be jam packed with travel. We are here in Sri Lanka until june 13th, then Germany, The US for a few days, Portugal, Barcelona and our final stop London for the 2012 Olympics... I cant believe i am still going... Kinda still sureal you know? But thats what going on so far this way! Stay tuned for some pictures updates on my facebook page. Love you all im out!!! LETS GET IT!!!!!

As last week we had our final competition inside "The Kingdom" I had something happen that has never ever happened to me before. I had three hurdlers fall in the same race on the same hurdle. I don't know if that is a sign of what is to come but I am glad it came now Vs. World Juniors or the Olympics. I also appreciate what this experience has done for my patience as a coach/teacher. I know I could have gone off in classic "Stamps Style" but I just smiled and embraced my guys.... They have worked so hard and all they was doing was what I asked them. I said before their race as I often do with my athletes in the short hurdles. "Run with reckless abandonment, if you are not on the verge of crashing and burning you are not doing it right." and they all explained how fast the hurdles were coming towards them. So we did accomplish one thing... Next up we travel to Sri Lanka, for the Asian Junior Championship and that will be the final stop till the World Juniors in Barcelona, Spain. I am so excited the World Juniors are steadily approaching. My 400h Ibroheim is currently ranked 3rd in the world among Juniors with a 400m time of 50.44! I believe he has what it takes to run under 50 sec and possibly qualify for the Olympic Games!!! What a blessing that would be. In all honesty he deserves it, he never complains and never misses a rep or a set of anything we do. Well back to work.... The Grind dont stop. I have a big announcement coming in the next 10-14 days.... so stay tuned..... and before you think it... "NO, I am not getting Married" I love you all and miss you all......

Greetings All,
I must first start out with a massive apology! IM SORRY!!!!! I never realized how busy i have become and how I have neglected to give consistent and progressive updates. So I promise from here on out I will give a minimum of 2 updates a week. Okay, my last entry was before the Pan Arab Junior Championships and since then we have competed in that meet and we walked away with 7 Gold Medals. We won the Men's (100m,110m Hur, 400m Hur, Long Jump, 1500m, 4x100m Relay and 4x400m Relay) Needless to say we were really proud of our guys. That was yet another step in the right direction. Our senior guys did not do as well as we were hoping at the Penn Relays but we are working hard and have a few more opportunities to try and get the qualifying standard by the July 4th Deadline. As they say in Saudi "En Challa" Which means "God Willing" in Arabic. I just recently traveled to Doha, Singapore and Dubai to catch Whiz Khalifa in the UAE!!!!! That was awesome. My trip to Singapore was business related and the trip to Dubai was pleasure. I always laugh when I go through customs to each country because they ask you "is your visit business or pleasure"? I always in all honesty hope I get to do a little bit of both in all honesty. I am taking full advantage of traveling and seeing the world. It has given me such a wider perspective on things and it has motivated me to keep doing things at a very high level so I can always have the ability to Travel and see the world. For business and Pleasure :-) I am also going to start to add pictures of these locations. One of the coolest things is I have been able to take my athletes to the far corners of the world. I make it a point to update my Facebook and show them via live feed over oovoo or skype what these other places look like. To see the looks on their faces has been a truly amazing gift and I cherish that to no end... I have a very important announcement in the next 10-14 days so stay tuned for that. I miss you all and if their is anything else you specifically want me to add or talk about feel free to drop me an email at hassaanstamps@gmail.com or send me a tweet @CoachStamps_com I dont know how to use that but i am learning every day. Oh yeah.... someone please help me understand this whole instagram deal........ I have had several request to follow my world travels on that. So any help would be great. Thanks, Love yall.... I'm gone!!! Until next time... The Dream Chaser and Dream Maker.
