Episode #7 features an interview with David Diaz.  Dad, Husband, Runner, Teacher, Coach, Oldest of 7 children and life long resident of McFarland California.  David and I were Cross Country and Track Teammates at College of the Sequoias in Visalia.  He was always very focused and driven and I knew that he would make an impact on those around him.  

In our interview we discuss what led him to a career in education, how he likes to be coached and what do good coaches do and say.  Dave has a growth mindset and is always looking to better himself and those around him both physically and mentally.  I think you will enjoy his positive mindset and encouraging message!  

David is one of the "Diaz" brothers that is depicted in the Movie "McFarland USA". If you have seen the movie you know how inspirational it is, and after hearing from David you will get a glimpse into why!

Coach Craig Marshall is the Head Boys and Girls Tennis Coach at Legend High School in Parker Colorado.  

When I think of an example of how coaching is being done right, he is at the top of the list.  A multi-sport athlete himself he has dedicated his life to honoring his family and hundreds of students athletes over his career with his integrity, accountability and being a coach that makes a positive difference.  My Daughter had the privilege of being coached by Coach Marshall for 4 years, and what started as an "off season" activity to take a break from competitive volleyball, turned into a FUN 4 year journey that landed her a scholarship to play Tennis in College!  This was made possible because of the fun and enjoyable experience she had by associating with the program Coach Marshall has developed.  

This was a wide ranging interview to find out what led Coach Marshall to Coaching, Tennis, Kansas, Cross Country, Marathons, and meeting his Wife!  I'm excited to share
