In this episode, Sally sits down with her friends, Billy Yang and Jason Koop! Sally has been fortunate enough to call Jason her coach this past year & she thought it was fitting to sit down with him to chat about all things coaching. Jason is the head coach of CTS Ultrarunning with 20+ years of coaching experience. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the science of running and programming, but in this episode, Sally draws out the character, personality and passion, that is behind "Coach Koop". You will be encouraged as you hear how Jason got started in coaching, his background, the emphasis that he places on relationships when coaching and insights of how he approaches each athlete, uniquely, when programing their training plan.
