When the cross-country team posts yet another championship banner in the gym, more kids sign up, the gene pool deepens, the team gets faster, which produces more championships, which attracts more kids, which creates even faster teams, and so forth and so on, in the infectious flywheel effect.” - Jim Collins, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't Shaw, Savannah. “The Strength of the Pack.” The Oval Magazine, 20 Apr. 2020, theovalmagazine.com/2020/04/14/the-strength-of-the-pack/. Quote on Culture from Doug Petrick “Culture is what keeps the program progressing as each season progresses. All athletes contribute to the culture of the team in different ways- by actions, by words, by contributions, by being ambassadors of the program. We keep a positive culture by modeling learning, evolving, and positivity as coaches. We use intention to support contributions by athletes that move this positive culture forward.” USCTFXC Coaches Clinic - June 26th (https://t.co/EyUUwHInxJ?amp=1) Featuring Coach Paul Vandersteen of Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, Illinois; Coach Dennis Barker of Nova Classical Academy in St. Paul, Minnesota; and Physical Therapist Kelly Kuhn from Kelly Kuhn Physical Therapy, Pennsylvania.

I recently sat down with Physics educator Doug Petrick and discussed Doug’s journey as an educator and track coach, and how he has brought lessons from the classroom to the track and vice versa. Doug touches upon how he got into teaching, how he views as his role in the classroom, and how he works with student-athletes and physics students to help them achieve their goals. Doug Petrick holds an Architectural Engineering degree from Pennsylvania State University and a Master of Arts in Teaching from California University of Pennsylvania. He is currently a high school Physics teacher at Upper St. Clair High School in Pittsburgh. Doug regularly contributes to a series for educators on the Wiley Network offering practical advice and instructional strategies. Chris Ruel manages The Wiley Network for Wiley’s Knowledge and Learning publishing group with over twenty years’ experience in publishing.

In this podcast, Doug Petrick takes you deeper into the concepts presented within his blog post, Zoom In, Zoom Out and Reflect: Self Assess Your Teaching, by exploring further how to use metaphorical lenses and mirrors to examine your progress toward achieving personal teaching goals.
