I know you're out there. We have a great opportunity to carve out a little niche here on Steemit.

If you are interested in meeting coaches from all over the world, learning new insights, reading great stories from the trenches, and supporting each other's work, join the rapidly growing @runningproject, and then head on over to the Discord Group where you will find a "Coaches Corner" channel.

A little about me:

James and Me.jpg

I am an avid runner and coach.

I have competed in every distance from 55 meters to iron distance triathlon, including a handful of marathons. As a masters athlete I focus on the 5K (masters pr of 19:40), 800 meters (2:12) and 400 meters (55.2), but I also run the Philadelphia Broad Street 10 miler every spring with my wife (1:16). I am not a fast distance runner, but partly because I am a sprinter at heart.

I currently coach sprints at my local high school, and help my wife with her cross country team in the fall, as well as the winter track program at her school. I am also the vice president of Greater Philadelphia Track Club, the president of a youth track and field club that my wife and I started last summer, and hold a USA Track & Field level 1 certification.

I have done extensive technique training and coaching, and attend two coaching conferences every year to keep up with the latest ideas. This summer I will be completing my USATF level 2 certification, most likely with a concentration in youth track and field.

And finally, I am coaching a 5k Training Program through @runningproject here in Steemit.
