About. 

 

Hi.  

​

I'm happy that you've found your way to the Coaching Distance website.  I started this little project in 2020 when COVID-19 altered life as we knew it.  Without a track season, I really missed the camaraderie with other distance coaches at track meets and wanted a way to keep growing and learning- thus the creation "Coaching Distance". 

​

Now, thousands of distance coaches from around the US- and even the world- are part of the Coaching Distance network, whether it be on Twitter/ X (@coachdistance), Facebook, Instagram or as members of this website. ​​​

​

As for myself, I teach elementary PE and am a successful high school distance coach, having led multiple teams to state Cross Country championships, led individual state champions in every event from the 400 to the 5K and coached the youngest Sub 4:00 Miler in US history, Simeon Birnbaum.  

​

What matters most?  I love hanging out with my wife Whitnee, a professor and author, and my kids Ben, Elouise and Sadie Miller.
