In this special interview episode, I sit down with Zack Haupt, Assistant Track & Field Coach at Davidson College in North Carolina, to talk all things training, coaching, motivation, and what it takes to build winning athletes both on and off the track.

Coach Zack shares insight into his coaching journey, his experience working with student-athletes, and the mindset behind developing speed, strength, and confidence at the collegiate level.

Fun fact: Coach Zack once had the incredible opportunity to train with Tommie Smith, Olympic champion and activist best known for his powerful and historic silent Black Power salute alongside his teammates at the 1968 Olympics—a moment that changed sports and history forever.

This episode is full of inspiration, legacy, and lessons from the track that go far beyond competition.
