As a runner and a coach of runners, I have learned a tremendous amount from Art. In my running, I often reflect on Art’s gentle and clear cues for biomechanics, mindset, and encouragement. Coaching along side Art, I witnessed his unique enthusiasm for his athletes. With great care and precision, Art seems to help facilitate his athletes’ own sense of empowerment and ownership in their running lifestyle. He is one of the most open-minded, genuine coaches I have known.
