Welcome to Coach Bennett's podcast, where every run has a purpose, where kindness is

hardcore, where this is about running, and this is not about running, where every starting

line is a finish line in disguise, where rambling still gets you where you need to be,

where pineapple will never ruin your pizza, and the sodas, adult and not adult kind are

always cold, and where there is room on the starting line for everybody.

I'm Coach Bennett. Thank you for letting me be a part of your day. Let's get started.

Well, hello everybody and welcome to episode 121 of Coach Bennett's podcast. This one is entitled

Ready, Set, Go, and it's going to be a good one for a couple of reasons.

I mean, the topic, when I get into that, you're going to love it. And two, I'm traveling.

And we all know that when I travel and I have to record remotely, the episodes, well, they rock.

They're fantastic.

They're stone, cold, great.

And this one is going to be all those things because we get to talk about how to coach kids.

Now here's the cool thing.

So many of you have been asking for an episode about this which

makes me so happy because when we share the sport we save the sport and when we share the sport

with kids we are saving the sport forever because they are the ones are going to take the batons from us and they're going to

pass them on to the next generation after them. That's how we make this a lifelong sport for

everyone. The key, though, is that you introduce the sport the right way. You make sure that these

new athletes, these young

athletes experience success. They learn how to run the right way, the best way for them. They have

fun. We want to make sure that they play running because this is a sport you can play forever.
