  Hey, podcast listener Mike Kennedy, I'm your humble host
• 0:03
  here. I am super excited to announce
• 0:05
  the next evolution of our Gill podcast series.
• 0:08
  You know us as the weekly every Monday long form coaching
• 0:13
  journey uplifting and honor coaches from around the world
• 0:16
  that is going to continue that original mission.
• 0:19
  Absolutely every Monday, original content with another
• 0:22
  track coach from from around the country, around the world.
• 0:25
  It's awesome. But now I'm here to explain
• 0:28
  something. I'm super excited about a new
• 0:30
  series that we're going to start very soon here.
• 0:33
  Probably the next week you'll see the first episode and we're
• 0:36
  titling it. The Gill 1918 Project.
• 0:39
  It's a podcast series that is short form, so 10 minutes to 30
• 0:44
  minutes, where we get into a ton of different topics from
• 0:48
  coaches. It's from coaches to coaches by
• 0:50
  coaches to coaches. Kind of think of it as the Ted
• 0:54
  talks of track and field podcast.
• 0:56
  And basically what I'm trying to do here is trying to take that
• 1:00
  annual track and field clinic that we go to that hopefully we
• 1:03
  all go to and bring it to you daily in short digestible chunks
• 1:08
  here on the podcast. So potential topics could be,
• 1:12
  you know, how to help create a three-step hurdler for the for
• 1:16
  high school could be about the culture of your team and some
• 1:19
  unique aspects you do. I've seen a lot of very cool
• 1:21
  Twitter topics around the PR bands and MPH mile per hour
• 1:26
  signs and autographs and things like that.
• 1:28
  Maybe you have a passion and expertise in recruiting.
• 1:31
  How to get recruited, how to be recruited, how to recruit.
• 1:34
  Lots of great topics. I I can see from around how to
• 1:37
  cohabitate with football and track and field.
• 1:40
  And of course certainly some strength and conditioning topics
• 1:42
  will be coming up. But all of these topics are
• 1:45
  created by coaches for you. So this will be a self-guided
• 1:49
  recording for the Gill 1918 Project.
• 1:52
  You know, I truly believe in coaching.
• 1:54
  Knowledge isn't just power, it's progress.
• 1:57
  The best coaches are students of the game, constantly learning,
• 2:00
  adapting and refining their approach.
• 2:02
  That's why we created the Gill 1918 Project.
• 2:05
  It's going to give coaches like you a platform to share
• 2:08
  insights, strategies and best practices with the track and
• 2:12
  field community. We're empowering coaches with
• 2:15
  innovative equipment since 1918, and now we're expanding that
• 2:18
  mission to include coaching education.
• 2:20
  Because great coaching creates great performances.
• 2:24
  And the best part? It's easy to be a part of.
• 2:26
  So the goal, if you take 365 days a year and -52 right, our
• 2:32
  Monday original content, that leaves 313 other days.
• 2:37
  So the goal is to publish 1A day, Tuesday through Sunday, 313
• 2:42
  episodes every single year. That means I need your help,
• 2:45
  right? You're the ones who are going to
• 2:47
  be providing this amazing content for other coaches out
• 2:49
  there. So why should you share your
• 2:52
  coaching knowledge on the Gill 1918 project?
• 2:54
  Why should you even be involved? Well, one, it helps amplify your
• 2:58
  impact on the sport. Track and field is a sport built
• 3:01
  on mentorship and knowledge sharing.
• 3:04
  When you record an episode for the Gill 1918 Project, you're
• 3:08
  given back to the coaching community by helping others
• 3:11
  learn from your experiences. Your insights would be key to
• 3:15
  another coach's breakthrough moment.
• 3:16
  Whether it's refining a sprinter or her, there's technique,
• 3:19
  optimizing distance runner, summer schedule, or detail in a
• 3:22
  piece of technology that you use to coach better.
• 3:25
  All events, All events and aspects of track and field are
• 3:29
  welcome to join us. You should also join us to get
• 3:32
  recognized as a thought leader. Sharing your expertise on Guild
• 3:35
  1918 Project is a powerful way to position yourself as a leader
• 3:38
  in the sport. Your episode will be part of a
• 3:41
  growing collection of coaching knowledge listened to by high
• 3:43
  school, collegiate, club and elite coaches across the
• 3:46
  country. Promote your work.
• 3:49
  At the end of your episode, you'll have the opportunity to
• 3:51
  plug your book, coaching course, website, clinic, social media.
• 3:54
  This is your moment to get your name and resource in front of
• 3:57
  fellow coaches who are actively looking for ways to improve and
• 4:02
  honestly, to participate. It's quick and effortless.
• 4:05
  I know you're busy, that's why you're recording.
• 4:08
  Only needs to be between 10 and 30 minutes.
• 4:10
  Sure enough to be manageable, but long enough to provide
• 4:13
  valuable. And we made the submission
• 4:15
  process as simple as possible. I've got a article on LinkedIn,
• 4:19
  would love to share that with you on three easy steps to
• 4:22
  record your own episode. Super easy.
• 4:25
  If you can listen to a podcast, trust me, you can record your
• 4:29
  own podcast as well. I'm super excited to help you
• 4:33
  create your voice and have your voice heard.
• 4:35
  I know the knowledge that you have is super, super valuable
• 4:39
  and many, many aspects of the sport.
• 4:41
  And so I'm excited for the Gil 1918 project to help with that
• 4:45
  voice and to help other coaches and bring massive, massive,
• 4:49
  massive amounts of value as you listen to the episodes.
• 4:53

• 4:59

• 5:04
  your own episode again, just hit me up and I'll send you that

  But super excited to start this new journey.
• 5:11
  This will begin here in just a couple of days.
• 5:13
  And then as we get them, we'll work, we'll publish them.
