S2 E4: Joe Porter

Coach Joe Porter St Louis University High School Joe Took over a very successful program and we discussed what it was like taking it over when things were already going so well. When there is a regime change, sometimes the new coach forces changes, Joe talks about how he built the trust of the team. Joe talks about the one thing that all successful programs do. With an average of 3.5 hours of homework a night, plus up to a 45-minute drive to school one way, Joe faces some unique challenges with his school. Joe discusses how he gets his team to run the best race of the year at the State meet and how that changed over the years. During the season Joe focuses not on team results, but on what they can learn from that race. We talk about goal setting and how he keeps his athletes accountable by having a copy of their goals on a notecard. Joe talks about a bounce week, what is it, when is it used and why do they call it a bounce week? What is a staple workout that St Louis does, and why is Ben so invested in it? How is tempo pace determined?
