This podcast was crazy. I coach in Florida near IMG and exact same story. There’s so many of us too Lawson, Napier, Me, and Meskimen. All products of UNI
Lots of chatter about this week's Under Armour HS Championships, so I invited Bill Lawson to the Gill Connections podcast to learn more.
I think you're going to like this one. Here' s the YouTube version, check it out on podcast for audio only.

@hurdlecoach87@MikeCunningham Verticals are rough! Lots of discrepancies & differences too between USATF, NCAA, other divisions, NFHS, or state associations.
@MikeCunningham My biggest issue is I wish they were housed all in one place. Especially those new officials or new coaches sometimes don’t know rules because a state association is different than NFHS or it’s in the administrative handbook instead.
@MikeCunningham Be sure you know how to manage time and know what are the priorities. Set boundaries for yourself. You are one man and it’s easy to get consumed. There has to be a work/life balance.
Focus on the journey, not the destination.
Running taught me presence: one step at a time, not chasing the finish but feeling the journey.
Life & Love is the same. It’s not about fixing or winning, but showing up for each moment, with your whole heart.
Want proof coaching is one of the best gigs out there? I applied for 2 college gigs this week after being out of the college realm for over 10 years. Both at local smaller universities. Both over 60 applications. Not lucky enough to be chosen; back to career drawing board
Pumped for all the podcast content we're putting out into the coaching world! Here's a sneak peak at the next few episodes.
