Jessie Magoto is my guest on this week’s podcast. She is the girl's coach at Minster HS in Minster OH, a town of 3,000 people. Minster has won four state championships in a row in cross country and won the track championship 2019. She has coached at Minster for 21 years. She coaches Sunni Olding who finished 10th and 5th at the Footlocker nationals.

In this podcast we talk about the importance of athleticism and why she has her girls in the weight room. She strongly believes is one of the keys to her team’s success. Jessie is speaking at the 2020 Boulder running clinics and I asked her how she approaches clinics and how she uses information from a clinic in her program. I’m very fortunate to work with Jessie at the Boulder Running Camps and we talk about her experience as a staff member and as a coach who brings her team to the camp.

It’s always fun to interview a friend and I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoyed recording it.
