"LetsRun? How about LetsFight" with Coach Danny Mackey


Listen Later

There is no coach on the professional circuit right now with more unwarranted #banter against them. This is the exact reason why the stoic young coach is one of the best coaches in the world. He blocks out the noise & focuses on the one true aspect of the sport: His athletes well being and their success. Coach Mackey in recent years has proved himself as one of the rising professional coaches in the world however Coach Mackey will never be the one to tell you, nor will the trolls behind the message boards. The ones that will tell you however are the athletes that have first hand experience being coached by Mackey in recent years. In the year of 2018 both of your hosts David Ribich & Josh Kerr signed their professional contracts to be coached by Mackey and since then, they have improved in every event they have run (similarly has everyone on the team). 


Focusing on this episode, your hosts break the barrier of athlete & coach and have a real chat with "The Gaffer" as Josh Kerr describes in the first 5 minutes. Their is tons of insight, banter and knowledge that spans every minute of this episode. With the first Top 10 requested guest securing their spot in the season we move on to #9 and hope the trend continues. Listen to this episode NOW to find out why your hosts trust Coach Mackey with their careers. 


Some #banter to look forward too:

  • Who is more coachable - Dave or Josh
  • Who is the least coachable guy you’ve ever had
  • What characteristics makes Josh way faster than Dave
  • Do you get enough credit?
  • If you had a daughter who would you rather her date - Josh or Dave
  • Why is Henry Wynne’s form so bad?
  • Who would win in a race, Josh’s ego or Dave’s therapist
  • Who is/was more talented Kerr/Symmonds
  • Most unique coaching tactic.
  • How much money did Josh’s medal earn you
  • Which one of your athletes is going to “surprise” people this year?
