There’s something beyond special about coach Diljeet Taylor; as the head of BYU’s women’s track and field program, she’s made a massive impact on young women. But Coach Taylor’s leadership goes well beyond the BYU campus, as a leader for Nike’s Swoosh TC in Utah and a figurehead for women in sport.

In today’s episode, she talks about the difficult decisions she had to make as the daughter of Indian immigrants to deviate away from the blueprint that was set out for her. She shares how she garnered the self-belief and courage to carve her own path, leading her to pursue her passion for running and ultimately become one of the most respected coaches in her field. We talk about the importance of “in order to be her you need to see her,” and how she shows up on the days where she doesn’t feel so confident. Plus: What you will and won’t catch her talking to her women about, and how meaningful it was for her to be a part of Nike’s After Dark Tour.

(21:38) Why as a coach Diljeet will never tell you she’s exhausted

(27:16) What it was like for Diljeet to be in Paris for the Olympics and how she didn’t think about how it would feel like for her to walk into the stadium.
