What to Expect
A MONTHLY Q&A SERIES FOR ALL
At Ascent Track, we believe in empowering coaches at all levels by providing direct access to the knowledge and experience of some of the best coaches that our sport has to offer.
Our “Office Hours” series is a free monthly initiative that works similarly to a professor's office hours in an academic setting – but of course, at Ascent Track, it’s all about cross country and track and field.
90 MINUTES OF EXPERT ADVICE
On the first Sunday of each month, we'll host a 90-minute, live online Q&A session where you'll be able to connect with some of the most accomplished and respected names in the sport.
Whether you're looking for advice on training concepts and workouts, competition preparation, program management, or anything else related to track & field or cross country, this is your opportunity to get personalized answers in a collaborative and supportive environment.
FREE FOR COACHES OF ALL LEVELS
Our sessions are open to any coach at any level, and there is no cost to participate.
We do, however, offer a donation option for those who wish to support the series and help us continue to provide it for free. (Side note: We always provide compensation to our coaches – we believe they should be paid for their services!)
