“My philosophy is: It’s not about me, it will never be about me.” – Gwen Robertson
Gwen Robertson has coached at Issaquah High School since 1983, 34 seasons in Track and Field and 33 seasons in Cross Country. In 2013, she was inducted in the Washington State Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame and recently was awarded the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Washington State High School Coach of the Year. In April of this year she was honored by Brooks Running with the Inspiring Coach of the Year Award for Track and Field (1 of 2 coaches awarded nationally).
Gwen has coached and mentored thousands of athletes in her time at Issaquah. Her philosophy requires her athletes to take ownership of their training and racing. She relies on the kids to adopt and pass-on the culture of hard work and motivation, knowing that that will have greater impact coming from peers rather than from coaches.
In this conversation Gwen shares strategies and philosophies on how manage and motivate people at all different skill levels, different desire levels and different goals.
