Manage episode 446080260 series 3564577
This week on a pod is Sam Kurtz!
Sam Kurtz is a senior captain on the Seattle Prep XC team. As a freshman, Kurtz was one of the slowest guys on the time, typically running in the 27- and 28-minute range for 5K, with a PR of 26:40. Having dealt with calf problems, asthma, running alone, and tons of adversity, hardship, and disappointment, Kurtz has made an incredible story and shares it on today's podcast.
We talk all about Kurtz's high school journey and transformation, his thoughts on the importance of team culture, and the inherent greatness that community can bring on an individual and team-level, as well as some of the most defining moments in his career, a preview of his final cross country race in high school, and more!
This episode was one of my best ever!
So much wisdom. So much gold.
Tune into the Sam Kurtz Special!
