Always a player-coach

I’ve never been the best runner.

When I ran track in college, I was fueled by my teammates. They made me want to run and not give up. I made a commitment to show my gratitude in support for them. I started leading them and helping out the young guys, like a coach would.

Today was my first day coaching track at my high school. Only one athlete showed up, so I ran the workout with her.

Something tells me I’ll always be a player-coach.
