Coach Steve Magness Shares Secrets From Helping Coach Galen Rupp, Mo Farah, & More

Описание: Today's conversation on the podcast is one that I've been wanting to have for many years now.

I have the privilege of sitting down with and learning from Steve Magness.

I was first impacted by Steve's work in 7th grade and have been a loyal follower ever since, consistently being impacted by his work.  

Steve is an acclaimed author, performance coach, and former collegiate track and cross-country coach who has written four books, The Science of Running, Peak Performance, Do Hard Things, and his newest release coming this February, Win the Inside Game.

All told, his books have sold over three-quarters of a million copies, been named national and international best sellers, and have been translated into 25 languages. Steve’s academic career exploring exercise physiology and then mental performance has shaped his all-encompassing outlook on performance. 

Steve’s writing has appeared in Outside, Runner’s World, Forbes, Sports Illustrated, Men’s Health, in addition to many others. Steve received his undergraduate degree from the University of Houston and a graduate degree from George Mason.

Steve has a PR of 4:01 in the mile in High School, which at the time was the seventh fastest high school mile in US history. He was also a part of the fastest HS Distance Medley Relay team in 2003. Steve ran for Rice and Houston during his collegiate career, nearly making nationals as a senior at Houston.

Steve was the head track coach at the University of Houston from 2014-2020 after working for Nike as a coach and adviser to their professional runners. (He worked with gold and silver medalists from the 2011 World Champs and the 2012 Olympic Games in London.)

Prior to coaching in college and professionally, Magness worked at Klein Oak HS. He currently lives in Houston, Texas.

Steve has a terrific newsletter on health, well-being and performance. He is also a great follow on Twitter and Instagram.

In today's conversation, we dive into Steve's background in sport, his coaching and writing, insights on excellence both in and out of sport, his newest book, and so much more.

This conversation was truly stellar and I hope you'll make the time to be blessed by it.
