When I was a teacher, I realized that a good teacher and good coach were the same thing. I also coached and I did as much teaching to my athletes as I did coaching to my students. You are right, it’s all about love…love for learning, love for sport, love of life. Good article! I’m lucky to be, as you, a friend of Doug.
Back in the 90s, I lived in the DC metro area and was friends with Christi Contantin (now Ireland), who was, at the time, part of Gagliano's Reebok Enclave. She raved about him and what Wonder coach and person he was.
I’d just like to say thank you. For the past 2 months I’ve really got back into my running. I was using Nike running app & listening to your words of encouragement pushed me along the way.
I have since just found your podcast & started listening too.
