As a coach, I still use Vin’s basic definition of running with integrity as a tool for my athletes to develop trust in themselves. At the core, that’s what he wanted us to do. He knew that every time we said one thing and did another, a little part of us died. He preferred an athlete to say that her goal was to get fiftieth and then finish fiftieth than to say she wanted to get tenth and end up fiftieth.
