  • Summary

  • We get running. As runners, physical therapists specializing in running medicine, and educators we know that there is more to running than meets the eye. We know and believe that an athlete's success is so much more than their body or their sport. Looking at and caring for the running athlete through a wider lens allows them to be well within and beyond their sport. We want to help widen the lens, shed some light and empower runners and healthcare providers through story telling and expert interviews.

    Our podcast will drop twice a month, on Wednesdays.

    Tommy's coaching philosophy is a health first and individualized perspective that really shines in its maturity and depth of perspective. During the interview, Tommy discusses the priority he places on getting to know his athletes as people and really emphasizing connecting with them on a human level to help them realize their personal as well as professional growth. He talks about learning the different factors that motivate certain athletes as well as his intent to create a safe place for growth as athletes push themselves to the limit in their physical training.

    During the interview with Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy, Tommy also discusses his evolution as an athlete and how that informed his coaching philosophy and his focus on holistic health for his athletes including recovery practices, emphasis on sleep and nutrition, and the importance of strength training for longevity. Part of Tommy’s focus on building strong athletes is grounded in his foundations with strength and conditioning as he has a degree in exercise and sports sciences and extensive mentorship in the strength aspect of running. Tommy really has brought a growth mindset to the evolution of his career and transition to coaching and his gratitude for the sport is readily apparent. You will love the positivity that radiates through the way he talks about the sport of running.
