Episode 35- ‘On the couch with the coach!’- Richard Huggins - a podcast by Dane Simon Verwey

Richard Huggins was recommended by 3 of the previous coaches I have interviewed on the podcast as a coaching mentor! Richard has an outstanding coaching record with an uncanny ability to harvest an amazing club culture down at Knox athletics track which has seen many Australian junior star distance runners stay in the sport to become senior superstars! Richard has coached amazing athletes such as: Jeff Risely, James Hanson, Zac Patterson, Tom Fawthorpe, Mellissa Duncan, Kaila McNight, Zoe Buckman and Vicki Mitchell. In this interview we go over how he got into coaching, his own marathon career, his coaching philosophies and some of his favourite sessions. It was an absolute pleasure having coffee and breakfast with Richard earlier this week; I loved how calm, easy going and approachable he was and he just had so many stories and experiences to share!
