Today's podcast guest was one of my dream guests for the past few years. His name is Coach Chris Miltenberg, and he has heavily influenced many of the individuals who have influenced me and shaped me into the person I am today. He is one of the greatest coaches in NCAA history, and, more importantly, a man who has contributed to the lives of hundreds of athletes over the years. Coach Milt has achieved remarkable achievements at Stanford University and the University of North Carolina.

During his tenure at Stanford, the teams secured ten podium finishes in NCAA Championship competitions, with the men's track and field/cross country program winning the John McDonnell Division I Program of the Year in 2019.

Additionally, Coach Milt emphasizes academic excellence, with numerous scholar-athlete recognitions for his athletes. Throughout his career, he has been recognized for inspiring dedication and excellence in his athletes, both on and off the field. Coach Milt's legacy as one of the sport's most exceptional and influential coaches is evident in his transformative impact and outstanding achievements. In summary, Coach Milt is not only a transformative force in the world of track and field coaching, but also a mentor and leader who instills a deep sense of dedication and excellence in his athletes. His impressive array of accomplishments, both on and off the field, stands as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of the sport's most exceptional and influential coaches. Today's conversation is a wide-ranging discussion on topics relating to success and excellence. Drawing from Coach's Milt's experiences both as an athlete and coach, I ask a plethora of questions that explore the depths of distance running and what it takes to be a world-class runner and build a successful team.
