Description

Coach Phil English is calling it a career after 46 years of coaching.


Eisenhower’s legendary coach, known by many as “Mister”, has led the guys and girls Cadets teams to state a total of 57 times, winning 7 state titles in the process. Mister has also been inducted into the Washington Cross Country and Track & Field Coaches Associations Hall of Fames.


In this episode, we dive into Coach English’s early running days in Ireland, his experience running at Washington State University, and how he moved into a coaching role before prying into some of his retirement plans.


We have so much respect for Coach English and his coaching philosophy. His care for his athletes is blatant and he measures his success the positive impact left on the athletes lives.
