Listen Later

Back on the podcast is my good friend, Sam Parsoni.

And today, here's here to spill the tea. He's not holding back.
You the listener will be blessed being a fly on the wall for a conversation that is normally reserved for private-conversations.
Sam is a free-agent and goes IN-DEPTH on the realities of the sport, the ins and outs of contracts, how companies take advantage of athletes, his hope for the future, all the updates on Tinman Elite, and more.
If you don't know who Sam Parsons, you've probably been sleeping under a rock. Or you just didn't recognize that name because I exclusively call him Sam Parsoni.
But to bring you up to speed, he's represented Germany at the 2019, 2022, and 2023 World Athletics Championships.
Sam had a terrific high school career, running 1:58 in the 800, 4:12 in the Mile, 9:00 in the 3200, and 14:47 in the 5K. He qualified for Nike XC Nationals as a senior.
At NC State, Sam ran 3:44 in the 1500, 13:52 in the 5K, and 28:43 in the 10K. He was a 4-time participant at the NCAA XC Championships, finishing as high as 51st at the 2016 Division 1 XC Champs with a time of 30:33.
Sam signed his first pro deal in 2018 with Adidas. 
Sam currently holds PRs of 3:36.22 in the 1500m, 3:54 in the Mile, 7:39 in the 3k, 13:12 in the 5k, and 28:43 in the 10k.
In today's conversation, we cover all of Sam's updates, how much I need to pay him to rock a singlet of my choosing, the ins and outs of pro-contracts, and so much more.
This one is packed with info and discussion that you won't find anywhere else. Do not miss it!
