Welcome to Gill1918, the track & field coaching podcast powered by Gill Athletics. Since 1918, Gill has been dedicated to empowering coaches with innovative equipment—now, we're bringing elite coaching education straight to your ears.

This week's speaker, Rob Wilson, is the author of the book "Check Engine Light: Tuning Your Body and Mind to Achieve Performance Longevity." Order it from Amazon HERE.

This book is different from any other health book you’ve read. It does not provide static protocols or step-by-step instructions that are meant to lead to a specific end point, because only you know what works best for you. Instead, it describes a new way of interacting with the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of your personal health. While all humans have some commonalities, each of us expresses our health in ways that are unique to our genetics, upbringing, personal history, physical environment, and culture. This complex cocktail of ingredients makes us who and what we are as individuals, and that customized blend shapes our health and performance.
In this book you will:

Examine how and why people tend to ignore important health indicators until it’s too late
Learn to think critically about your own health perception and how to calibrate that perception using objective tools
Build a dashboard of reliable indicators so you have access to information about your personal health and performance and what might be in need of your attention
Learn how to select the right tools and protocols for your performance longevity toolkit

Our goal is to create the Ted Talks of track/field podcasts bringing the annual track clinic to your ears DAILY! Topics will include but are not limited to covering key strategies, techniques, and training principles to help you improve athlete performance, structure better workouts, enhance team culture, and more!

Whether you're a high school, collegiate, or club coach, Gill1918 is your go-to resource for quick, high-impact coaching education from the best minds in the sport.
