Patrick Wales-Dinan Shares Leadership Lessons Learned From Coaching Teams A few years into coaching, I realized something that changed how I ran every program after that. My job was never really about training runners. It was about leading a group of people who each had their own goals, their own doubts and their own reasons for showing up. Once that clicked, I started paying a lot more attention to leadership itself, not just workouts and race plans. I've spent a long time thinking about what makes a team actually come together, from Traip Academy all the way through Harvard. Leadership on a distance running team looks different from leadership in an office but a lot of the underlying ideas hold up anywhere. https://sportsa.com/patrickwalesdinan/post/BLXE2R-patrick-wales-dinan-a-steady-voice-in-modern-distance-coaching.html
