Episode 138 - David Nunez; Head Cross Country and Boys and Girls Track Coach at Organ Mountain Highuntain

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to one of the best coaches in the state, Coach David Nunez of Organ Mountain High School.

Coach Nunez recently retired from coaching and teaching after 35 years of commitment. During our time we talked about his start in running and the amazing coaches he got to learn from and on to his own start to coaching.

He told me what it means to be a coach and what he learned from the first time he was called coach to now. We also talked about what went into his decision to retire. It is not something he took lightly and you can still hear his passion for the sport as we talked.

We briefly spoke about a couple of his great athletes that are graduating this year and what it has been like to coach athletes of that caliber. I'll have to have him back on to talk about some of the actual training they were doing.

I really enjoyed our time and I hope that you enjoy it as well. I can understand how his passion has helped his program over these years.

It's been a few months, but I hope that this is the start of getting back on a steady schedule. In the meantime, enjoy this episode and hydrate as we start hitting these higher temperatures again. By smart in your training, listen to your body, and keep running, New Mexico.
