Scott Steffen is the boy’s and girl’s coach at Concordia Lutheran High School in Fort Wayne, IN.

His boys team won the state cross country championship in 2019. Indiana has a single classification championship and Concordia Lutheran has an enrollment of just over 700 students. His boys went on to finish 4th at the NXR in unquestionably one of the toughest regions.

In this podcast Scott talks about the challenges of coaching at a small school and the challenges of having a small team.

Scott is a member of all three seasons of High School Running Coach and he talks about how that resource, and Jay’s Fundamentals Education course, have impacted his coaching.
