Summary

Today on the podcast is who I would consider "The Godfather" of NCAA Coaches, Coach Patrick Henner.

Coach Henner has coached Mike Smith (current coach of NAU), Chris Miltenberg (current coach of UNC, formerly Stanford), Brandon Bonsey (current coach of Georgetown), and more in his tenure. He has also coached studs Isaiah Jewett and Will Sumner over the past few years.

Prior to successful coaching stints at Georgia & USC, Henner was the director of track and field and cross country at Georgetown from 2007-15, and prior to that he had spent eight seasons as the Hoyas' head men's cross country coach and assistant coach for the men's and women's track and field team. Henner's coaching resumé also includes a nine-year stay at James Madison, where he led both the men's and women's cross country teams to their first CAA titles, trained 28 track and field All-Americans, and was twice named CAA Coach of the Year. He began his coaching career at Blacksburg High in Blacksburg, Va., where both the men's and women's teams won state championships in 1984, 1985 and 1986.

In today's episode, Coach Henner goes through his career, both coaching and his personal running journey, discusses lessons from each coaching job, principles of good coaching, what it takes to be excellent in the sport of running, and so much more. This conversation is filled to the brim with wisdom, and I'm beyond confident you'll walk away from this one with some newfound knowledge.

0:15.0	2B4 is the right product for you.
