#62: David Kaiser-Univ of Texas at Tyler

So happy to have David Kaiser on the podcast today. Among many topics, we start of extending the conversation started by Brooks Johnson in episode 57 regarding coaches who focus specifically on one event group their entire careers versus a more holistic 'track' coaching style. David lives this as a former mid-distance athlete who taught himself how to pole vault (15'+) and has coached all-americans in the throws, combined events, jumps and more. You'll want to stick around for the entire episode as we then talk about a 9-year hiatus he took away from college coaching and the struggles he found as he attempted to come back to the college profession. We're so glad he is back coaching track on the collegiate level, now as the head coach of a D3 program transition to the D2 level.
