Podcast 027 – John O’Malley

Coach O’Malley, in my humble opinion, is one of the best HS coaches in the country. This podcast is a collection of excerpts from High School Running Coach.

There is a metric I have for coaches and it’s very simple. Would I want my daughters coached by _____ coach? Coach O’Malley is on the list.

Thanks Coach O’Malley for your time in both the interview and your sharing meticulous documents and training plans on High School Running Coach.
