Welcome to our first international coach, Kurt Downs coaches the Border City Athletics Club in Windsor, Canada. Kurt sits down with us and discusses why he started his track club, the advantages and disadvantages of coaching a club of athletes as young as third grade up to post collegiate elite level athletes. We get to discuss Canadian 800m national record holder Brandon McBride and the challenges in training preferences between athlete and coach.  Kurt also talks to us about his athletic background and how it led him eventually to a successful track coaching career.
