Summary: <br> A silver medal at the world championships and a 30-year old athlete who makes theirfirst world team and then places in the top 8. In this episode of On Coaching we bring in friend and coach <a href="https://twitter.com/dtmack">Danny Mackey</a>. Danny is the coach for the <a href="http://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/athletes/brooks-beasts-track-club">Brooks Beasts</a> and guided Drew Windle to a medal and Katie Mackey to a top finish. Danny gives us the inside information on Drew’s progression and what the difference was in taking Katie from just missing teams to racing at the world level.<br> There are a lot of gems in this podcast, including:<br> <br> * “There were no breakthroughs. We got better at getting better.”<br> * “They trust me more than I trust myself…Drew told me ‘I came here to run for you.”<br> * On tactics: “Experts anticipate instead of react to it.”<br> * The key to tactics is being patient and not getting emotional.<br> * On Danny’s job for Drew pre-race. “I wanted to make his world small…breathing in and out, the right mix of impulse control and aggression.”<br> <br> <br> Keep the Podcast going!
