In the conclusion of this wonderful three part series with Harry Marra, we talk about the magical time of coaching Olympic medalist Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton. We pick up where part 1 (episode #25) ends as Harry is brought to Oregon to interview for the combined events assistant coaching position. We get a real insider's view of how the world record in the decathlon was broke at the Olympic Trials, preparation setbacks for the Olympic Games, and how and why it all ended.

#27: Harry Marra (p.3)-Story Time! The Eatons, world records and Olympic medals

In part two of a three part series with Coach Marra, Harry teaches us his Four Principles Necessary to Fully Develop the Art of Coaching.  Utilizing the simple initials of PKTC, Harry teaches us about Passion, Knowledge, Trust and Communication. Harry's knowledge and experience is second to none (go listen to the first part in episode #25 if you haven't already). Today Harry gives us real world examples to help you succeed as a coach in track and field, as the leader of your own program, and even for success in the business world. This will be an episode you'll want to listen to every year as you start the planning for your next season of success.

#26: Harry Marra (p.2)-The Four Principles Necessary to Fully Develop the Art of Coaching (PKTC)

In the first of a three part series we explore Coach Marra's rise in the coaching ranks. We discuss growing up in New York, criss-crossing the country for different coaching jobs, and the many mentors and peers he's been positively affected by over the years. Many of you know Harry as Olympian Ashton Eaton's coach, but today we focus on his life before the University of Oregon. This is part one of a three part series; in our second installment we focus on Harry's coaching philosophy/style and part three we'll have a lot of fun recounting his time with Ashton and Bri through NCAA championships (and records), professional career (and records), and Olympics (and records!).  Notice a theme?
